    You don't have chemistry on your list. So, therefore, you need to make some revisions and resubmit... resident 10C Rush advocate.

    ......and I don't ave The Twilight Zone on there from 2112. Also I did revise my list I think twice and if you think it's that's easy let me see your list.....come on.

    Like TBU said....conform or be cast out. Loved that line. :\">

    :)>- Peace
    :))

    Okay, fair enough.

    Honestly though, Chemistry is one of my favourites from this band- who I have seen live multiple times in four different decades.

    Closer to the Heart is another glaring omission that makes your list a different list than what mine would be (not better or worse... just saying). I realize its one of their more often played tunes, but there's a reason for this.

    Regardless of small differences between tastes... I enjoy talking about bands in such a way- I typically end up blasting the tunes I spoke of.

    That's awesome, oh yes Happy Happy belated Birthday Geddy. I got busy yesterday doing yoga on one leg (the other is in a cast for the next 2-3 months) and going to see my musician friend Michael Franti play in Boca Raton.

    G under P, you have Power Windows in the bottom third of your album list. This will not do.

    i awoke to Rush' performance on the RnR Hall of Fame show last year and it was from that moment on that a band that had been in the background of my musical world jumped to the front. last summer i began immersing myself in their albums. the period after Signals to Roll The Bones i don't quite get (as was mentioned in Beyond The Lighted Stage), but i still appreciate. i love everything else, though. their recent material is just as strong as their earlier output. The musicianship & Neil's words..wow...although i'm extremely late, i'm glad i got to the party

    I show this video to everyone. What a cool kid.

    I love around the 3 minute mark when he's smiling at pops (who's filming him) and really digging things.

    I love PoW, but it would probably be in my bottom 3rd as well.

    Well seeing as we are discussing Grace's list... for my tastes... Signals is too low.

    Top 5 for me (in order):

    1a. 2112
    1b. Moving Pictures
    3. Rush
    4. Signals
    5. A Farewell to Kings

    Man, the very same thing was said to me on the RUSH site and where AFTK stood. All I have to say is....For whatever reasons Power Windows just did not click with me. I didn't even think that tour was all that great maybe it was the venue in Richmond VA. However, after the GUP tour the PW tour paled in comparison and AFTK is posted right I feel it should be and that high due to the song Xanadu.

    I would have hoped that Mystic Rhythms and Territories alone would have propelled it into the top half, but I respect your opinion and enthusiasm. It's odd to me that you appreciate the albums that bracketed Power Windows so highly, though they each have their own vibe and theme.

    Did the setlist from the Clockwork Angels tour make you reconsider or rediscover any Power Windows songs? It was bizarre to see them playing something like Grand Designs on a nightly basis.

    In my rankings, G/P would be much higher than PoW, but PoW would edge out HYF.

    I love most of HYF...but High Water and Tai Shan should have been shelved in favor of...recordings of howler monkeys in heat next to a meat grinder.

    i'm not sure what they were thinking with Tai Shan. It's brutal. Have they ever commented on it or expressed any regret?
