Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Never actually heard any of their songs but... I reckon that they are probably a decent band... Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovecraft Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Some people would have them as one of the top bands ever. Very very tight musical band. They are all awesome musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Never actually heard any of their songs but... I reckon that they are probably a decent band... Can anyone confirm this? They have a very loyal following, also some cracking songs e.g. Spirit of the Radio. But at the same time they're not to everyones taste, which is understandable - story telling + a sci fi theme in a lot of their stuff. Still I liked them enough to buy a couple of their albums back in the early eighties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gasman Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Never actually heard any of their songs but... I reckon that they are probably a decent band... You decide if they are a decent band - without actually listening to any of their songs. You are joking, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope!... they were vehemently recomended... It would have been rude of me not to start a thread on them and swat up on their discography!!

Denny Crane Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Listen to the following as a starting point and then work your way through their catalogue:- Working Man Spirit of Radio Tom Sawyer Red Barchetta Closer to the heart Force Ten Distant Early Warning Limelight Freewill 2112 Overture Passage to Bangkok Roll the Bones Far Cry Time Stands Still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 (edited) Remember wearing my denim cut-off 2112 "starman" embroidered jacket to the 1978 Craigmillar RAR Festival supposedly featuring The Clash, but actually headlining The Valves & The Scars. Not many Rush fans in the audience that day Edited November 20, 2010 by felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Wilde Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Been a fan since the late-70's. They had bit of a trough in the 90's but their recent material and their live shows, have shown that they're still one of the the best in the business. Almost unclassifiable over the decades. Prog rock - pop rock - metal - reggae - synth - they've been all things to all men and with the highest quality of musicianship throughout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuL_euRslTc Muse are in direct line of descent from Rush, so I'm doubly grateful.

Johanes de Silentio Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Amazing musicians, but maybe a bit much/over the top at times. This is awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTD1QW3SM60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Fantastic thread - been rocking to some of the old footage. Especially the Snakes and Arrows gig where I was on the DVD man - nobody better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddy Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) I wonder who told you about them? As said by others, they can be an aquired taste. Not everyone can stand Geddy's vocals. However as players they are fantastic, with a varied catalogue of music. I first heard them on tape, without knowing who they were. The first thing I heard was 2112! By the time I came out the other end I was hooked. I had to find out who they were. When I found out I bought every album they had released up to that point. They have also confused their fans at times by suddenly changing style...the most famous was right at the time of the biggest surge of metal styled music and they brought out an album where you hardly heard any guitars! I remember buying "Signals" and thinking "what the F''''' is THIS" Let us know what you think, you should have a few ideas with all the links already posted! Oh and cheers for listening to me rabbitting on. You are a gentleman. Edited November 21, 2010 by geddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Nope. Not for me I’m afraid. His voice grates something terrible to my ear. Good musicians as others have said though a bit “math rock” to me on my limited listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
