    Love the music! Despise the vocals!

    No one can argue the amount of incredible talent at play in this band though. If they made an instrumental album, I would definitely buy it.

    The odd thing is when I first heard and listened to RUSH back in 76' I hardly noticed Geddy's vocals. I was amazed at their musicmanship and of course the album 2112. It wasn't until the Grace Under Pressure Tour was i able to see and hear them live and the vocals I never focused on.

    I can say I've seen the Smashing Pumpkins and to me Billy Corgan's vocals grab my attention more so than Geddy.

    I love Geddy's voice and the way that he uses it. Some of Neil's lyrics are awkward, but they can also be brilliant, usually all within the same song! :lol: The music is always impeccable.

    Here's more about the photos....

    Thank you for the kind words. I'm just following someones wishes.

    Actually, these photos were not taken by me (I was only 8 at the time). I was "gifted" a bunch (LOTS!) of unpublished photos of concerts from the Chicago area around the late 70s and early 80s by a local media photographer. I just wanted to show these first. I have been given permission to "share" them. The note I was given said, "You'll know how to let the fans' enjoy these."

    I think he was right.

    I'll finish up the 1979 photos this week. These are a bit - better. And there is a lot more

    Enjoy!

    Is anyone really surprised by this...in 5 years PJ will be eligble to get in and WILL probably get nominated BEFORE RUSH! That said I hope they never get in and if they do politely decline the inivite but the boys are gentlemen and wouldn't do such a thing. The bad has said in the past they don't care about getting in TRRHOF most of their thoughts and energy are being placed on their new album Clockwork Angels and I don't care either.

    The people who vote on bands for the RRHOF don't understand progressive rock music. It's beyond their scope of musical aptitude. They have a prog stereotype stuck in their heads, and they apply it to every band that's associated with the genre:

    "The songs all have lots of notes and odd time signatures and they're all over 10 minutes, and the lyrics are all about Hobbits or Dungeons & Dragons or that mystical crap that Jon Anderson sings about. All that complexity and lyrical pondering doesn't say anything. Prog music has no heart or soul. All prog is pretentious."

    The voters are into "pertinent, socially important " music. They're impressed with Bruce singing about New Jersey factory workers, or Bono and Sting singing about the rain forest or world hunger (and maybe those are stereotypes as well, but that's what the Hall is into). They're also into record sales and popularity.



    10 Reasons why Rush got snubbed yet again!

    1. Alex Impregnated one of the Hall of Fame's Presidents daughter!

    2. They are so great, they are considered Gods and hence, ineligable.

    3. Geddy's nose will cast a shadow among all other nominees.

    4. Greatness requires their own individual catagory.

    5. They're still to stupid to understand what Neil is writing about.

    6. Geddy's singing was so high, their building is still recovering from all the broken windows.

    7. They still haven't progressed beyond a 4/4 time signature.

    8. Neil is so great, They believe He's a machine, hence ineligable.

    9. Alex's dog crapped in the President's office.

    10. They know by snubbing the boys, they'll get an incredible increase of hits at their website from disgruntal Rush fans !.....losingit2k

    What proves that the people who vote for the Rock and Roll HOF have NO CLUE as to what is up is that they have The Small Faces and The Faces listed as one band, when all it would take is a 30 second internet search to realize that THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT BANDS.

    I live in Austin where Ian McLagan lives, who played keyboards in both bands, I was @ his show a couple of weeks ago and he was saying what a bunch of IDIOTS the the R&R HOF people are and how disrespectful it is to both bands to not even know the difference.

    That and the fact that Stevie Ray Vaughan has not even been on the ballot! I know there are a lot of music critics and people out there that didn't care for his music, but give me a freaking break with not even being on the ballot! ESPECIALLY after some of the people and groups that have been on the ballot and actually voted in, it's a JOKE! :roll:
