February 7, 1981, my favorite album of all time was released. Hearing Geddy's awesome tone and great lines set me on the path to playing bass, and thus, changed my life.
Let's hear it for this monumental achievement in recorded music.

Sorry, but IMHO it was the last great Rush(studio) album. Rush was my first concert, I saw them in 1982 when Signals came out. Great show, never cared for that album.......

Although, I feel there are a few good songs on signals....moving pictures was and still is the best RUSH album ever....IMHO they have done nothing really great until snakes.... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
