Gee, that guy on the balcony looks happy. He probably just nuked some threads and banned some people "over there".

Whoa Shiny, that was fast.

And there I was, completely wrong again.

Clockwork Angels is also right there with Moving Pictures for me.

What? No Lee Aaron day?

She should be getting an entire week minimum - imho.

Rush is a late 70's / early 80's band!  Their best
work is from 1980 (36 years ago):

[quote]The writing of (Permanent Waves) began in July 1979, at Lakewoods Farm in Ontario on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron while Neil Peart began writing lyrics in a cottage nearby. While Peart worked on lyrics, Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson would work on musical ideas in the basement. Within a few days they had put together "The Spirit of Radio", "Freewill", and "Jacob's Ladder"[/quote]

Those were the days.


From the same era:  three words:  Eddie Van Halen!

No, seriously, Clockwork Angels is really not only as good as any early songs, like Moving Pictures there is no bad song on it. The entire thing is solid.

It must be because that was way back in the dark ages when we were ignorant and poorly trained as pilots.

That was then.  This is now:

I think I'll stick with my obsolete biplanes,
ancient L-twin motorcycle, and 1980's jets.

You probably don't think Joey was much of a
rider compared to you, but he loved his RC51.

Who said I thought I was an awesome rider?


I was merely remarking that if you haven't listened to any music since 1991, you've missed out on a lot of good stuff, a lot of crap, but then there has never been a time that people weren't putting out crap music. The ratio of crap music over the years to good music is probably about ten to one.


Either way, if you haven't listened to any music since 1991, a few recommendations I'd make would be Johnny Cash's "American" series, including the posthumous releases, the entire library of the Tragically Hip, Bruce Dickinson's solo offerings, and ZZTop's last five studio albums. I'm particularly partial to [i]Antenna[/i] (1994) and [i]Mescalero[/i] (2003).


That's not to say I don't like old things. I look forward to flying my plane that was made in 1959.

There's actually a scientific reason that the Colonel hasn't listened to anything new since 1991, and it's not that the quality of music has declined.

[quote]Petr Janata, a psychologist at University of California–Davis, agrees with the sociality theory, explaining that our favorite music “gets consolidated into the especially emotional memories from our formative years.” He adds that there may be another factor in play: the reminiscence bump, a name for the phenomenon that we remember so much of our younger adult lives more vividly than other years, and these memories last well into our senescence. According to the reminiscence bump theory, we all have a culturally conditioned “life script” that serves, in our memory, as the narrative of our lives. When we look back on our pasts, the memories that dominate this narrative have two things in common: They’re happy, and they cluster around our teens and early 20s.[/quote]


It's the same reason that my playlist still contains a lot of the same shit (turn of the centrury rock) that I had on my sweet mixed tapes that I was blasting while driving the decrepit 1982 GMC S-15 that I bought when I was 15.  Over the years as my tastes have become more refined I've pared a lot of the genuine shit out of it but a lot of the MP3s in my collection go back to when I ripped them off of CDs in high school or downloaded them from Napster before Metallica and the RIAA went and thought they could end file sharing. 


I will neither confirm nor deny that I had this shirt  ;D :
