Daily Song Discussion #65: The Body Electric
This is the fifth track from Rush's tenth album, Grace Under Pressure. How do you feel about this song? What are some of your favorite lyrics? What’s your favorite live performance of the song? How would you rank it among the rest of the band’s discography? How would you rate it out of 10 (decimals allowed)?
SUGGESTED SCALE:
1-4: Not good. Regularly skip.
5: It’s okay, but I might have to be in the right mood to listen to it.
6: Slightly better than average. I won’t skip it, but I wouldn’t choose to put it on.
7: This is a good song. I enjoy it quite a bit.
8-9: Really enjoyable songs. I rank them pretty high overall.
10: Masterpiece, magnum opus, or similar terminology.
At the end of this discussion series, I will compile the results from each discussion and create a full discography ranking.

If they can do something like this, then I hope Funko can do the same thing for Roll the Bones.

Framing ideas?
So with the new 90s boxset coming out. I’ll have 2 copies of the album. I was think of ways to display my original. I have the tour programme, tickets and the UK tour tshirt. I’m not sure how I’m going to manage to get all them I’m the same frame.
Was just wondering if anyone on here has done similar things so I could get some composition ideas.

Gettys Shirt On Time Machine Tour…
I haven’t seen anyone ask this question yet…forgive me it it’s been tackled already on this post. But I was watching the Cleveland show in 2011 on YouTube, and saw Gettys shirt. Clearly it doesn’t say Rush. Looks like “Rash.” Anyone know about this? Is it one of their inside jokes?

Can we talk about Geddy’s bassline on Digital Man?
42 years on, I’ve listened to the track hundreds of times and am still having WTF moments. I’m a bass player and this track captures so much of Geddy’s brilliant creativity, tone and je ne sais quoi. ❤️

He only did 4 album covers this year, so Rush should feel honoured

Neil was the one who setup Lars with Tama Drums.
This was news to me being a Rush fan and drummer for over 30 years.

Morning Walk
Found a new motivation to get a few extra steps in - started listening to the chronological studio discography. Started with Fountain of Lamenth and ended with Cinderella Man
