value-is-what-you-get Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Just a wild guess here, but there may be a few fans in our community of humble, intelligent introverts who appreciate and enjoy watching these three consummate craftsmen hone their skills over the decades!! p.s. IMO, their latest album is their best musically.
oddballstocks Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks, just ended up spending the last 20m watching Rush videos on YouTube, not exactly what I expected to do this morning..but enjoyable
JEast Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Deserving of the Hall and my favorite line by Neil Peart is in Tom Sawyer's “mind is not for rent/to any God or government.” Great song, great lyrics. He has since grown out of his Ayn Rand stage as a more mature man and as Munger advises -- you can overdose on Ayn Rand as some do. Cheers JEast
Kraven Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 What a great band. Favorite line is from Limelight - "I can't pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend." Used to always write their logo (the boxes with little lines to say "RUSH") on those old yellow Pee Chee folders, the ones with the different sports on them.
rkbabang Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Wow, I didn't realize they weren't in the Hall of Fame already. That's ridiculous.
Parsad Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I can't stand Rush. Congrats nonetheless to a Canadian band! Cheers!
Kraven Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I can't stand Rush. Congrats nonetheless to a Canadian band! Cheers! What? For that, you just lost a point on the good trade you made. Not like Rush? I can't believe what I'm hearing. That's crazy talk.
value-is-what-you-get Posted April 19, 2013 Author Posted April 19, 2013 I can't stand Rush. Congrats nonetheless to a Canadian band! Cheers! Yeah this is par for the course. People either love them or hate them! If you're not sure, then you love them- you just need to listen to some more material. If you hate them it's obvious and palpable immediately. C'est la vie
onyx1 Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 ...old yellow Pee Chee folders, the ones with the different sports on them. Haha what an age giveaway! I'd be shocked if more than a handful of people on this board have ever seen a Pee Chee folder! Kraven...is this yours? http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pee+chee+folder&id=D94FEC4DF7CBDE19061D8C8823047FF864EF6F45&FORM=IQFRBA#view=detail&id=6A4E1CC2686B9A594B4DB913F2FE4DD3DB24DD86&selectedIndex=107
PlanMaestro Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Come on, Presto greatest album ever :P. Now being serious: good video choice value-is-what-you-get. It shows their strengths and none of their weaknesses (vocals and lyrics.)

I know. A very dated reference. That's great! I wish some of those were mine. I used to be very envious of those more artistic than me. The one where it shows one basketball player with a hammer and nailing into the other guy was very commonplace. Half the guys in school had that in their folder. AC/DC, Rush, etc. Standard stuff.
finetrader Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 My favorite line from Rush is: "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" from Freewill
Uccmal Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 This is bad, I didn't have to google this: Big fan - especially, the pre synth stuff. Had a chance to see them at their peak in Hamilton when I was 15 and passed it up. Finally saw them for my 40th birthday, here in TO - awesome live show.
DTEJD1997 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Wow: I am surprised RUSH was not the hall of fame sooner. One of the most accomplished rock bands there is. Neil Pert is one of the best drummers that ever was. Example? Rush in Rio, the crowd starts singing to YYZ, an instrumental song! This is one of the best live concerts ever, and one of the best songs in that concert. Congratulations to them! May they continue to play for many years to come.
