We did this with Genesis, Lets try it with Rush. You get to pick 8 Rush tracks to go on your own compilation album. The one rule is you can only use one track form each existing album. Pick for any 8 albums you like. Don't worry about song length, just pick 8 songs. Something Like this: 1. Fly By Night 2. 2112 (Overture/ temples of Syrinx) 3. La Villa Strangiato 4. Freewill 5. The Camera Eye 6. Analog Kid 7. The Enemy Within 8. Middletown Dreams |

but in my opinion the music of Rush is way too "gefällig", to use a
German term that is difficult to translate; it is somewhere between
"smarmy" and "buddy-buddy", in a calculated way. which in my opinion

Rush never tried to ingratiate or wheedle in any way. Quite the opposite. Early on (not counting the first album), they came out with a style that ran counter to anything popular or anything that would appeal to the masses. Their success was due to a level of integrity that overcame their running counter to popular tastes, trends, or expectations. Do you honestly think Caress of Steel was designed to be ingratiating? It may be easy to say such a thing after the success of 2112, but going in, nobody could have predicted that was going to happen. And then, rather than following up with the formula applied in their proven success, they totally changed their sound with their next album. And again, there's no way anybody could have predicted the success of A Farewell to Kings. It certainly wasn't the type of album to appeal to the masses. And Neil Peart is one of the most sincere and genuine people ever. I can understand a variety of reasons people choose to not like Rush, but being ingratiating ain't one of them. |

you will note that I used the German word "gefällig", of which I said it could not be adequately translated. there is no English word that really captures the meaning of this German word. anyway, de gustibus non est disputandum. I consider Rush to be epigones, and they definitely don't hit a nerve with me. I personally think that the Randian views of Neil Peart reflect in the music of Rush. but I respect your opinion. if you like Rush, fine with me. but I equally have the right not to like them ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Peart definitely toned down the Objectivism over time. But the libertarian streak was still there at least through the 1990s. I disagree with those who characterize the earlier Peart lyrics as fascist, but I also disagree with the apologists who insist that any political stance in his lyrics is (incorrectly) inferred by critics. I see Peart’s mid-1970s lyrics as reflecting a very intelligent but impressionable young man. By the mid-1980s he was more of a skeptic. But I always felt like he was stating or explaining his (or Rand’s) opinions rather than preaching them. So literally, his lyrics are often pedantic, and often clumsy. |

I never meant to imply you don't have a reason to not like Rush... only that your reason for not liking them didn't make sense at least as presented. If they don't move you, then that's good enough all by itself; no further reasoning necessary. I will add though that if you're now hanging your hat on Peart's interest in Rand, that's a hopelessly narrow assessment of his influences. He was already moving beyond that as early as 1977, and by the early 90s had completely evolved into a more humanist philosophy. |
Posted By: Fischman
Date Posted: June 09 2019 at 21:32
2112 is as anti-fascist as it gets. Even one who finds it clumsy or pedantic must admit it's a serious rebellion against a centrally controlled, oppressive regime. I've heard a lot of negative criticism if Peart's lyrics through the years, but I never heard it called fascist. |

I agree, there's nothing fascistic in Rush's lyrical content. I also agree that Peart was obviously an intelligent but impressionable young man. When blending politics with music, one has to be careful as your political views can change over time, and can come back to haunt you. When we're young, we all think we're completely correct about everything. Part of growing up is admitting to yourself that you're not. It takes a bit of wisdom to to understand that there is no definitive political solution to the 'human condition' If there was, it would have been implemented. It also takes some guts to admit that you were wrong. As much a I love Rush, I can take or leave most of Peart's lyrics. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| I think every band is an imitator at first to some extent, and as with any band, it took time for Rush to develop a unique sound. They developed an interesting way of using suspended chords, chord inversions, and added tones on chords. And, I think their use of odd time signatures fit the music like a glove and doesn't sound forced. |

| It's funny. I usually find that people either love the music of Rush or they hate it. I don't think I've ever found anyone in the middle. Some people can't stand Geddy Lee's vocals. I think the song that hooked me onto Rush was Freewill and I found the vocals, chords, odd time signatures, incredible bass/guitar solo, and strange lyrics (that weren't about typical rock topics) mesmerizing. You'll also find people who love their stuff up to about Moving Pictures and hate their music after that. Or they love the stuff up to Power Windows and not care for the music after 1989. Or they love Fly By Night through Hemispheres. Some like it all. They are not everyone's cup of tea. And, Rush may not be in the Big Six. But, 7 is a lucky number and Rush played a tremendous role in keeping prog alive. People have expressed dislike for Rush for many years and I respect that opinion. If anything, Rush fans are used to it and are pretty thick skinned. Rush's original audience was different from that of the Big Six. They first appealed to working stiffs. As a working stiff myself, I find something original, interesting, and at times beautiful in their music. But, I don't enjoy much passed 1989. Ha! |

| Rush like every band on the planet(including the Beatles)were hit or miss. Some bands are more hit and less miss but it's impossible for any band to have every song be perfect. That said I believe Rush had a better track record than most and I would even dare say they had a better track record than any band I like(which includes Yes, Genesis, KC, PF, etc). The only band they might not beat is the aforementioned Beatles. Aside from that taste is subjective and everyone has a different taste in music. I got into Rush at around the same time I started to get into Yes, Genesis etc. My brother's best friend was into them and I already was familiar with them having been a big radio listener but also already had "signals" on cassette. Music is something you relate to. I related to them on a deeper level and found their music intriguing(lyrically and musically)and still do. Not many rock bands(and not even all prog bands)strive to be more and give something beyond what others give to their audience. In the case of Rush it was a combination of power, bombast and intelligence that somehow worked. No other bands really did what they did they way they did it. A few kind of come close in some ways(Boston, Styx, Uriah Heep and Led Zeppelin)but non were really doing it in such a cerebral and emotional way at the same time imo. |

Thanks. Well, I've never been much of a fan of hair metal(and only like a few bands that come close such as Def Leppard)so I'm maybe not the best person to judge. Straight up pop music(or anything that has big hits) is usually going to have the worst lyrics though. I'm sure there are some exceptions but I can't think of many off the top of my head.

Critics who referred to Rush as fascist, based on their lyrical content, didn't understand the definition of fascism, in the same way so many Americans don't know what socialism is, and actually believe Europe is communist. I don't know what they teach kids in High School in the US, but it needs looking at. There were some extreme left wing music hacks in the UK in the late 70's, who took exception to Peart's Ayn Rand fixation, and accused him of fascism, but I've been listening to Rush for almost 40 years, and I've yet to come across any veneration or advocacy of anything remotely fascist. The polar opposite in fact. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
