That's very surprising to me. Then again I'm sure it works the other way too. There are those who like Geddy Lee but can't stand Jon. I personally don't get it but we all hear what we hear. When you said I was very wrong I wasn't offended. It just made me think of that early Genesis song(am I very wrong?). Lol.

@AFlowerKingCrimson: Well you made a factual statement about me which was in fact very wrong, so why would you be offended by me pointing that out? Good anyway that you weren't. By the way let me add that I find myself more often in controversy with you than with many others on this forum, but I actually appreciate that you say a lot that can get people into some proper controversial exchange.

^ not his fault, man, he's from Philly.
More seriously, he often argue for the sake of arguing which can be quite irritating at times but he don't seem like a stubborn dude and at least he have a sense of humour (a quality that many are lacking here). Geddy's voice? Disliked it very much at first but quickly warmed up to it (a month or so). Jon' voice took much longer to fully appreciate afaiac (and I mean...years). edit: boy, English is very arduous today, can't write more than 3 words without misspelling Edited by Barbu - January 14 2020 at 11:05 |

No, I didn't mean it as fact just my opinion. Anything that can't be proven is not a fact. :P If you said you prefer Jon Anderson over Geddy Lee that too is your opinion. If you(or I)said Geddy Lee is better than Jon then that too is an opinion since it can't be proven. I don't feel I presented anything as a fact and if you took it that way then that's on you. No harm no foul though as they say.

Dude, I'm right here. Lol. No, I don't think that's the case. Maybe a little and if so I'm trying to get away from that. I don't feel I ever try to rub anyones nose in anything or act superior(like say Dark Elf)so if anyone gets that from me that's not my intent. It's all about just having good conversations that are engaging and sometimes controversial but I'm not on here to boost my ego or put others down just for the thrill of it like some seem to do(Those who do that should stick with PE ;) ). Yes, I'm from the Philly area. Can you imagine how much more of a jerk I would be if I was from NJ? Before any NJ fans on here get angry that's a joke.

For the first time ever (?), I will not vote for Signals. It's long been my favorite Rush album because of Geddy's majestic bass tone (his best recorded tone, really), amazing songs, powerhouse synth lines. But I want to vote for Grace Under Pressure. That's their most overall aggressive album of the '80s. It has a certain...toughness. A no-bs approach to their streamlined '80s style. "Afterimage" (now more relevant than ever), "Between the Wheels," "The Enemy Within" and "Distant Early Warning" add up to "prime Rush" for me. A perfect album.

Hemispheres has always been my favorite. Strangely followed by A Show of Hands

Rush were essentially a hard rock band that incorporated prog elements into their music so I think any album is fair game in that respect. If I want really complex prog there are a 1000 bands better than Rush (probably) but there is only one Rush that made their albums the way they did.

I can understand there are people who can´t stand Geddy´s vocals. I have one friend, whose least favorite song is "Closer to the Heart". He´s a big R´N`R-fan, so I asked him to listen first Rush, he listened it and said it wasn´t that bad. But when I am asking him to listen also "Fly By Night" he said he´s got enough with the first album.
Anyway I have always loved Geddy´s vocals specially those screaming seventies vocals. It was sad to hear him singing in those latest live´s, really had lost his voice.

^ Not as strong as it once was but he certainly haven't lost it. You should try R40, pretty solid vocal performance on this one.

I know I'm supposed to pick one album but I can't. My personal peak is Farewell to Kings through Moving Pictures. However, I really enjoy the Power Windows through Presto era as well.
