Danielj Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Completely agreed, one of the best ever. 2112 Overture is unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 The Wall. But I guess that's just a given for me. Edit: Ach, my apologies. I thought this thread was just to discuss your favorite album, because the picture didn't load. I have never heard 2112, suprisingly enough. Anyone care to mail me a copy?

DiggsUK Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 An album I loved as a teenager, IMO their second best, the first being 'RUSH'. I hadn't listened to any Rush since my record player packed in 10 years ago, until I bought a compilation CD for the car last month. 1st listen was great, so evocative. 2nd listen my wife was with me and I found myself having to explain why I liked this as a spotty youth. Accessible it is not. I now only put it on if I am alone to avoid comments like 'Is that a woman singing?', 'I didn't have you down as a Tolkien loon' and 'No wonder you couldn't pull'. Definately an aquired taste. A bit like aural Marmite. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 You know, oddly enough, as many times as I listened to this, I don't know all the titles. I had it on 8-track, then album. I don't have it on cd, though, or I'd have listened to it again by now. I thought I did, but when I went to look, there was Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves, and that's all the Rush I own... I remember the band I was is did the entire instrumental, all the was up to "And the meek shall inherit the earth". We never played it in front of anyone, it was our personal jam. Man, it was soooo much fun. Musically, the entire first side of the album isn't very difficult to play. Just straight up rock. Cool stuff. Incidentally, those guys I was in that band with are still playing bars and parties. Eternally 16, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXX Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I recall having to hide that album back in HS because only the bandos (the kids in band) would listen to it Always liked "Temples Of Syrinx," "Passage To Bangkok," and "Something For Nothing" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 MUSICAL INTERLUDE: "We've taken care of everything The words you hear, the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes. It's one for all and all for one We work together, common sons Never need to wonder how or why. We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls. We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls. Look around at this world we've made Equality our stock in trade Come and join the Brotherhood of Man Oh, what a nice, contented world Let the banners be unfurled Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand. We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls. We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls."

DiggsUK Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I can't read those words without hearing Geddy Lee screaming in my head, and that pumping bass. Even after all these years. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielj Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I can't believe you take The Wall over DSOTM! I thought Eclipse was your fav...and DSOTM has better Sync and....... opinions. :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 DSoTM is probably better than The Wall, I just favor The Wall, because it touches me deep inside. All of Pink Floyds songs do, especially on DSoTM. But there is just something about The Wall that gets me, and I can relate to, and I just think it's great. Still, Pink Floyd is Pink Floyd, and they kick ass, have always kicked ass, and shall continue to kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmosis Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 'I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon. City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky. I used to think I had a pretty good life here, just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening. 'My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under the Red Star of the Solar Federation. The less fortunate gave us a few new moons. I believed what I was told. I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy. Then I found something that changed it all...' Anonymous, 2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
