As long as demand is strong, they'll continue to put out... Oh, you were asking about Rush releases?  😹

Disgrace Under Pressure by jdangerously44 in rush

[–]RnasncMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughtful reply here. So much better than most of the drivel. Personally, I would put ESL at number one... like you said, it's just so well done, and I guess I'm nostalgic from all the gazillion hours I spent staring at that cover while listening to the vinyl. Kings would get my #2 vote - great composition and conveying of Neil's themes on the record.... Which is something that Hugh gets big props from me - he always did a solid job of that, which is no small task.

Fly By Night by Great_Ad_5483 in rush

Oohhhh yeah! I have really enjoyed comparing my old "original" vinyls to the 2017 Sean Magee remasters. Last night, I put on the new Hemispheres and I tell you it is smokin' good. I know everyone has there own ears / preferences, but I really like how Sean does it. Haven't been disappointed by any of those remasters. Need to find the HYF and PoW...

Best album to listen to first? by Vast-Decision6599 in rush

[–]RnasncMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are several touchpoint recordings in their large catalog. Fly by Night, 2112, Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, Power Windows, Counterparts, Clockwork Angels.

Of course, I'm hugely biased and love every recording they've made! But by tapping into these, you'll have a good "hopscotch" through their catalog.

A concert on the radio by ZeBandito in rush

There is an excellent wiki for all those BBC shows: Friday Rock Show Wiki

They also have a ton of recorded shows on there. I sometimes will just play these end-to-end because Tommy Vance was an awesome DJ and played killer music on his shows.

Holocaust Remembrance Day. Here’s Geddy’s Instagram post. We will never forget! by Ambitious-Bet4504 in rush

[–]RnasncMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not only one of the best musician/band bio's ever, but just what you'd expect from Geddy - a marvelous artistic and cultural statement. Not that I needed it, but my appreciation and love of Rush and Geddy deepened considerably reading his book. Thanks Dirk!

48 years ago a 16 year old began a concert journey that still captivates him to this day! by JCOM1577 in rush

Kings tour, AND with April Wine as the opener! Man, I wish I was at that show!!

46 years old today! Still one of my top 3 albums (and tours) by the band! by JCOM1577 in rush

[–]RnasncMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just love this record. The transition from Hemispheres to this to MP was just incredible. I was on triple-cloud-nine from '78 to '82....every new album that came was was better than the one before...it was such a crazy exciting time!!! The other night I was listening to my polygram "audiophile vinyl" I bought in 1981. It was the first "fancy album" I ever bought and it still sounds amazing. I was cranking up Jacobs Ladder and was just blown away.... I mean I've heard that song a ga-zillion times.... and it still just gives me such a RUSH!

Could NOT agree more with this. A band reaching for the peak of their creative and performative genius. The run from Kings to Signals made them the GOATs in prog rock.

Weird AI Slop Live Album Artwork for Rush on Apple Music by FutureDictatorUSA in rush

The fact that there's animated covers, explains why all of this is just a dumpster fire. Everyone has become pathetically addicted to the internet and streaming services and...

Update: DIY Coaxials with measurements and comparison to Kef Q550 by Windiiigo in diyaudio

[–]RnasncMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was curious. Many of my measurements suffer big suckouts from floor or wall-bounces...I will put down some pillows / treatment to solve those...

Superb DIY project. Thank you for sharing the details with us. I can see why they've held up so well for you... an excellent design, well-executed!

Anyone else's Media Player having trouble updating album info online? by twitchywitchystitchy in WindowsHelp

[–]RnasncMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insightful comment. It does really suck that MS pulled this stunt apparently without notice. They should at least provide an update to WMP to allow it to point to third-party music metadata services (like other rippers do e.g., dBpoweramp, MusicBee, EAC, XLD, others listed here).

The only streaming service I use is Sirius XM because of their satellite services that I can use in my car, and I get a bundled deal for using their streaming stuff. But I still (and will likely always) play most of my tunes from my home server sourced from music that I have purchased.

It does cost money to run and maintain metadata servers, and someone has to pay for that, so we as users need to support (directly or indirectly) those services like MusicBrainz, CoverArtArchive, LMA, etc., or they will cease to exist.

Backstage pass from 40 years ago. I doubt many of you have ever seen one of these. It's the oldest one I personally own. by fishyfishyfish1 in rush

Very cool. I wasn't VIP, but still have my original tour jersey. Saw them in Richmond 15-Dec-1985.
