BrenR,
By your own rules, you should not be listening to Rush. Geddy sings in a higher key than Debbie Gibson. That, and Alex Lifeson's real last name -- Zivojinovich -- is hard to pronounce (for some, anyway).

Speaking of Rush, does anyone know if the tour's still on this summer?

Yes - I think they're hitting Atlanta the first of August. Will probably look into it - I haven't seen rush since the Presto tour.
One other point about Alex Lifeson - probably one of the most underrated guitar players in his life time.

All of Rush -- except for Neil Peart -- is underrated if you ask anybody who doesn't play guitar or bass.

OK, so what's everyone's all-time favorite Rush song? My current favorite, partially because it sounds so amazing played at ear-splitting volumes, is The Camera Eye from Moving Pictures. Lyrically, it's not one of their best works, but it sure gives my system and ears a workout.

Subdivisions
Limelight
Time Stand Still
The Pass

Except Neil Peart? I'll give him the nod as one of the best 5 drummers I've heard (see also: Keith Moon (Who), Chad Smith (RHCP), Sandy Nelson (50s/60s session drummer) and I'll leave one open for someone I'm probably forgetting)

that's why I left him out of the underrated category. Anyone who knows anything knows he's a drummer god.

OK.. now ya'll have hijacked so i wont feel guilty.. RUSH is one of my all-time favorite bands.. they are all GODS in my book with their respective instruments.
the tour is most definitely ON for the summer.. go here for tour dates. i got seats to the june 25th show in san antonio, on the 20th row from the stage.. i cant wait..
favorite song, probably 'limelight', or 'spirit of radio'.. i also like 'the trees' alot, just for the statement it makes. its hard to pick, they are all good.. best album, 'moving pictures', no question.. they have some great live albums also. 'exit stage left' is pretty cool.. showcases a lot of their early stuff..
alex was arrested in february down in florida for a public disturbance, public intoxication.. so it will be interesting to see how that turns ot..
also, for those fans that want more, RUSH has just released(3 months ago) a dvd of a concert from RIO that they did last fall.. the crowd was 200,000 strong, and they did all the classics with an awesome visual display(as usual).. it is recorded in dts 5.1, so it should sound great on our systems. i was waiting til i got my system to order it.. looks like the time is now.
PS- bren, great drummer.. mitch mitchell from the jimi hendrix experience.. i got some kick-a$$ stuff from him on vinyl..
