I played that Rush Live LP over and over too, to the point where I was shocked when somebody mentioned that corny part at the end where you hear the band going "aw man, what a show!"...For whatever reason I never noticed it!

Listening to Hemispheres this morning is reminding me just how awesome this band were when they were firing on all cylinders.

I haven't listened to any of these in probably a decade or more, but voted La Villa.

I ended up voting for Hemispheres because that's what I'm feeling right now. It's the moment they went from really good band to Godhead.

I saw Primus the other night and they tossed out the opening riff of Cygnus X-1 at one point.

Yeah, I voted for 'Hemispheres' too... my favourite of all the side-long epics.

Although the 'No One At The Bridge' section of 'The Fountain of Lamneth' is all-time for me... love the guitar solo on that.

Top 2 OTM

Aww, I feel bad for Camera's Eye, it's nearest to my heart.

Xanadu's a pretty good jam, but I never got down with that "for I will dine on honeydew" stuff. Honeydew melons? Yech! Like that's supposed to be a big deal? Honey Dew donuts, maybe.

I always liked honeydew melon but tbf it was Coleridge who made a big deal about it in the first place.

Maybe honeydew melons taste fabulous while on opium.

0 votes for 'Natural Science'!

Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 17:20 (five years ago) link

"natural science" (and "jacob's ladder"!) are in my top 4

Would buy a 7-sided LP set consisting of all these tracks.

Does anybody remember Rock In Opposition? *audience screams* (Matt #2), Tuesday, 15 May 2018 18:27 (five years ago) link

Agreed - they were untouchable.
