OFF: Rush (was Re: OFF: A Legendary Pinktroduction to The Legendary Pink Dots)

[Steve Swann]

When I was a science fiction and mythology obsessed 12 year old, I thought there was nothing better in the whole damn world.  My Rush fandom hasn't aged so well though...

 Rush is a band I heard much from friends who listened to them and  
 never 'caught onto' way back when. I just a few years ago got their  
 early stuff, the remasters real cheap. My faves are the 1st, 2112  
 and Moving Pictures. Definetly a cool group.......


My experience is similar. I have a "greatest hits" compilation, and I  
definitely appreciate the band's talents -- they have some great  
tracks -- but somehow I just never got the fire for them. (And that's  
despite Geddy Lee's status as an occasional Rick bass wielder!   
Though he's a Fender flag-carrier nowadays, which is much less  
interesting.)

Cheers,
