In Reply to: 70' Rush for me, thru Moving Pictures... posted by kjd03842 on September 11, 2006 at 19:11:15:
just started with Moving Pictures, and will probably go backwards from there. Could be a long night.
Follow Ups:
First song on Side 2, "The Camera Eye.." wotta tune!

Neck Deep in the Big Muddy and the Damned Fool Yells, "Push On!"
Pretty good one-two punch.
That's a fine 1,2,3 punch. Of course, the whole damn album is a sweet 1-7 punch. Witch Hunt has special audiophile significance to me because it was the first song I played after putting up acoustic treatments in my first listening room and, as such, was the first time I heard anything resembling a 3-D sound. I never heard Alex's killer riff like THAT...whew! This level and type of nostalgia can only qualify me as a complete and utter nerd! At least I'm enough of a pervert that I thought of spelling it "udder", but alas, I'm also a geek.
There's a couple I don't really care too much for, that would be, song 1 and song 7.Tom Sawyer is not a bad song, but I heard it enough to last a lifetime in 1981, when most people were hearing Rush for the first time. It was a departure for me, not the Rush I liked.
Red Barchetta makes up for it, though. And YYZ.Vital signs, I can take it or leave it.
I'm not sure what my ailment is, but I just cannot get enough of Moving Pictures. I've listened to that LP in its entirety, at least, 25x more than any other recording I've ever had. I pretty much taught myself to play the drums by that record when I was a kid. I use it all the time for the constant fiddling I do in my listening room now - it's the perfect reference for me because it sounds great, I know it better than I know myself, and I can either listen for sonics or let the Rush men take me away. It's hard not to like ANY Rush song if you're a drummer...or a guitarist, or a bassist for that matter! Fun post guys!
