so many great one’s to pick from. The way before its’ time.
sound of 2212, Permanent Waves with Spirit af the Radio,
Hemispheres... so tough... T've been a Rush enthusiast (a grown
up fan actually) since, well, since the beginning really. Eve .
album (i.e. 33 rp. m.kind) up to Pawer Windows, many of ‘which
were augmented (note how I avoided the term “replaced” they

Oh yeah... where were we... favourite Rush album. T nyust say,
each has it’s own place... many would argue that they “all sound |
so similiar”... but I know berter, Ud have to say Moving Picture
has to be up there in the fave dept. as it marked a fundamental -
shift in the band towards a more electronic sound (Geddy:
learned how to play the keys & ‘Taurus bass pedal) ‘Mark me’
down for MP, I guess.” Et
