EagleEye0 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) First off, I am baffled as to why Rush and Jethro Tull were not inducted this year along with J. Geils Band and Cat Stevens. Secondly, and more importantly, Rush is one of ther best rock and roll outfits of alltime. They are my third favorite band of alltime. I own every 70s albuM excepte theIR self-titled debut with drummer John Rutsey. RUSH IS GOOD. LISTEN TO RUSH. ALSO, i own Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. They are amazing listen to them. Possibly better than Zeppelin and I am NOT KIDDING. Peart IS a BETTER DRUMMER THAN BOHNHAM. PEART IS AMAZING Edited September 17, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I would like Rush alot better if it wasn't for the lead singer...his voice gets to me after awhile...but the band is great...saw them 3 times in the 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye0 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 They say lee is a, "Squirrl on Helium" you become accustomed to his vocals if you are seasoned listen of Rush. You have to give it some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jr_ Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I've listened to Rush for 30 years. Geddy Lee's vocals are high pitched. I tolerate it because I enjoy the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I really like Rush. Geddy Lee can have a good voice at times, depending on how well it goes with the music. I can't really explain it...I can't stand his vocals on some songs, but I really like his high pitched part in 2112's "Priests of the Temples of Syrynx" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 First of all, this comes up every year. Jethro Tull is a valid question. Rush and Kiss will probably never get inducted, well at least until well after Milli Vanilli and a hand full of garage bands. Reason: Rolling Stone magazine. Look into it, they don't like Rush, they don't like Kiss, and they control the induction nominees. End of story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Rolling Stone could suck my a$$! Rush, Kiss, and Jethro Tull all deserve to be in the Hall Of Fame. Did Skynyrd get in this year? Man, if they didn't, then the Hall Of Fame is a f***ing joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Back in the late '70s, at California Jam (a smaller version of Woodstock) there was a band called Mahogany Rush in the lineup. Is this the current Rush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 The hall of fame is kind of stupid if you ask me. It really doesn't mean anything, and people make such a big deal out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the current Rush? No, they're not the same band, Shawna, although I know Mahogany Rush is also from Canada. Other than that, I don't know much about them.

EagleEye0 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 (edited) "There's unrest in the Forest there's trouble with the trees, for the Maples would like more sunlight and the Oaks ignore their pleas." Geddy Lee, Rush, in, "The Trees." The Trees-Rush Album-Hemispheres Year 1978 Its about the two hemispheres of the brain. The whole album is amzing. "The Trees" is one of my favorite songs by Rush.

Ed24345 Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 The first time I'd heard of Rush was in my senior yr. of high school in '82 & the song was 'Tom Sayer' & I couldn't get to the store fast enough to get a copy of 'Moving pictures'. I loved that album! I later had bought other Rush album's & thought-"What the f... is that?" & just couldn't listen to them again without feeling my ear's would start bleeding if I did. Oh well-an aquired taste I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Laurie_ Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I hear ya Ed...I liked them in my younger years...saw them 3 times, they were great concerts, but now I really dont listen to them much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Rolling Stone is also the reason they don't let much prog into the hall. Yeah d00d , Skynyrd finally got their acceptance into the hall, along with Black Sabbath. The musical genius behind the talented production that Rush & Tull, as well as ELO, Yes & Blue Oyster Cult, etc. have to offer should be credit enough, there aren't many rock groups out there with that kind of quality. IMO Kiss is way too comic-book character bubblegum metal to be taken seriously in the hall. Despite their overachieving crowds & legions of die hard Kiss~Army fans who buy out their merchandise. This is the one hereld that struck them ... Selling Out. They're basically cursed from being accepted as a "True Music Talent" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakin Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 The best thing about Rush is that Marillion opened for them at Madison Square Garden back in the early 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've just had the privilage of discovering Rush about 3 years ago. Lucky that I did! They are fantastic. Haven't hardly gone a day without listening to at least one song by them. I quite enjoy the "squirrel on helium". LMAO. That entertains me a great deal.

MindCrime Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Its about the two hemispheres of the brain. The whole album is amzing. "The Trees" is one of my favorite songs by Rush. Nicely said Eagle & great thread BTW, that album I believe was produced by Peter Collins [Rush's primary catalog, Queensryche, etc.] his extended studio pioneering skills alongside the heart & soul of the trio, are beyond phenomenol, & cut-rate at that, very few compare. ____________________________________________________________ I really like his high pitched part in 2112's "Priests of the Temples of Syrynx" I'm with Batman on this one, this song delivers Geddy's masterwork with his trademark pin-pointed high-octave vocal screeching in an almost ill-saturated manner. Favorite Rush tunes: [*]By-Tor-&-the-Snow-Dog [*]2112 / Temples of Syrinx [*]Cinderella Man [*]The Trees [*]Jacob's Ladder [*]YYZ [*]Subdivisions [*]Time Stand Still [*]Dreamline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
