STUDIO ONLY

Just watched Beyond the Lighted Stage again so riding a Rush high. I discovered Rush at 15 with Caress of Steel, basically because the album cover was so cool. Didn't have a clue what the music was going to be like.

MIND. BLOWN. FOREVER.

The band I was playing professionally in from 1978 to 1981 was, in hindsight, basically almost a Rush tribute band. We did at one time or another:

Bastille Day
Circumstances
The Trees
Passage to Bangkok
La Villa Strangiato
Cygnus X1
Xanadu
2112 - Overture

Using just a turntable I learned the entire Hemispheres album and could play it note for note from beginning to end. The whole thing. Stupid crazy in hindsight.

Anyway: 5 Favorite Rush Albums (trying to encompass their entire career.)

Caress of Steel
Permanent Waves
Moving Pictures
Power Windows
Clockwork Angels
