To me, the choice of guitar tones, drum sounds, guitar rhythms, bass lines and Geddy's way of singing makes those songs sounds part country. Obviously the albums they're from aren't primarily Southern rock, but those songs sound like it. Overture of 2112 makes me think of a cowboy riding in the middle of a desert, and Making Memories makes me want to be near the Bayou. Thoughts?

I can't unhear it now! Thanks Alex!

So I have listened to 2112 thousands of times. It is easily one of my top three favorite songs of all time and I’ve memorized the lyrics quite well… but I just gave it a listen and I swear the lyrics changed.

At 14:40 I swear to God the words were always “Dream, can’t you show me the light.” I just listened to it on iTunes and two official Youtube videos from Rush’s channel… and I keep hearing “Dream, can’t you show me light,” with “me” extending over where “the” previously was. On the official lyrics page on rush.com, it says the lyrics contain “the”. As do the iTunes lyrics. But for some damn reason it is just totally different now. Am I just totally bugging… it’s actually so weird to me.

At long last I have finally finished remixing Permanent Waves in surround sound, as there is no official release. I was able to get very good vocals and instrument separations which makes it interesting to hear the individual parts more clearly. It was kind of a learning process, and I even created new settings for the script used to assign the speakers, and used a variety of creative techniques.

The 5.1 files require a surround sound system to fully enjoy. Coming soon will be instrumental stereo versions of each song.

I put a lot of time and effort into making this as good quality as i could so i hope you all enjoy and let me know what you think. Feel free to share it wherever.

It is available to download from my google drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LI6jMJ_VCeCtvLxdot4i028Co2E2ZQ1M?usp=sharing
I'm also sharing it on the Soulseek file sharing network, which you can access with the Nicotine+ program. https://nicotine-plus.org/

Enjoy!

I guess at 45 I'm below average age for a Rush fan, but having loved music for 35 years now, I never NEVER heard anything about Rush in general culture or any music press I ever engaged with.

Before about 2015 the ONLY thing I'd ever been aware of was a line in the Pavement song, Stereo, which mentions Geddy, but even then took me 20 years to look up who Geddy was...

Is my experience unusual for someone in the UK? It feels like no one my age would have any notable reason whatsoever to know who Rush were, whereas many could name all the members of Queen or something.

So, the whole album 2112 is a masterpiece, so good in fact I bought it on vinyl, however one part of the title track always stood out to me, the temples of Syrinx, but I can't find any other rush song that is like it, are there any?

Apple music says coming 15 Nov 2024, but obviously that’s not the case haha

Hey guys, im from Brazil and here we don´t have good materials or posters about our favorite band;

Can someone help me, were can i find vectors, illustrations or images from Rush?

I would appreciate if anyone can help me

These can be ranking anything Rush-related. Try ranking something beyond just albums to keep things fresh! For example, one could rank albums by their overall drum or bass arrangements, or by their lyrics. You can of course post rankings as numbered lists in text form as well.

​

Remember to keep things friendly, try to avoid simply telling someone that they're wrong. Music is subjective, folks!

I was 21 years old when Presto was released in late 1989. I enjoyed the album but as a 21 year old “kid” I didn’t really dive into the lyrics too much. Now as a 56 year old “adult” I find such deep meaning in the lyrics and enjoy the album so much more today than when I was 21. Also I miss Neil.

Seriously. A Farewell to Kings' first side is 16:55, under 17 minutes, Permanent Waves second side under 18, both sides of Hemispheres are just above 18 minutes, and all albums are well under 40 minutes in total. There's room for at least a couple more tracks or sections for all albums each.

I don’t know why, but the start up sound is a dog whistle for me to listen to Turn the Page. I have to put it on instantly
