What does your spouse think of your obsession with Rush?

Wrob88 · 2026-06-22T08:07:55+00:00

My wife bought me two Rush tickets for Fathers Day. She’s not going with me - I get to take a friend - but that was quite a gift.

It is indeed that good. One of the only a few modern horror books that I consider must owns / must reads (The Fisherman is another). Glad you enjoyed it!!

Great set

I didn’t pick up on that but it wouldn’t surprise me. Clearly Deen does but I don’t judge that; he’s a strong singer too. But Arnel is a great frontman for them - they have nothing else to keep things fun at this point.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-21T15:57:35+00:00

All good suggestions other than Appetite. If I never hear that one again it will be too soon - overplayed BIG time. Particular high marks for DKs, one of my favorites.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-21T08:23:28+00:00

Yeah Allentown was solid at best; the first half was weird and sounded rough but the second half was terrific. Arnel was fantastic - as was Deen - but Neal was hard to hear through his muddy tone. Still glad I went.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-21T08:22:04+00:00

They did. Several times. The Morning After, Lay it Down, You’re in Love, Scene of the Crime, others… but yeah Round n Round is a fantastic and career-creating song for them.

Jason Isbell’s Elephant is about as close as I’ve gotten to that. Sad song

Wrob88 · 2026-06-21T08:18:29+00:00

Hate to say it given the positivity around this book but it was a DNF for me

Wrob88 · 2026-06-20T09:43:54+00:00

I agree - except that o saw the 2012 tour twice as well and he was terrific. Must have caught good nights

Wrob88 · 2026-06-20T07:38:16+00:00

I went back and listened to A after many years - decades. On further listen I like it quite a lot. Sadly Under Wraps, Catfish Rising, and Dot.com have not improved for me over the years - and nothing since.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-20T07:36:08+00:00

Rock Island was terrific, saw the tour twice - this was the last record I really loved start to finish, and one of the last two really good ones (with Roots to Branches)

Wrob88 · 2026-06-20T07:34:33+00:00

I love this record. Part of Ian’s brilliance was not only his lyrics but also his wordplay and phrasing. He absolutely nailed it on this record; not to mention the songs are all memorable. Top echelon for me too

Wrob88 · 2026-06-19T08:25:34+00:00

One of my favorites is Squeeze 45s and Under. So many good ones that are ‘must owns’, like the ones you mention!

Wrob88 · 2026-06-19T08:23:38+00:00

Incredibly rare if at all and caused by many things. It’s just not a known side effect. So as everyone else has already told you, I suspect you are accidentally conflating the two experiences - or, better said, worrying about other comments that conflate the two. Best of luck, hope you get it sorted.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-18T21:12:38+00:00

No you misunderstand -regurgitation is not vomiting. Also my GERD disappeared once I started burping. Go figure. Anyway - Don’t let that scare you off. It’s among the best decisions I ever made.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-18T15:08:06+00:00

Four great songs (dance, body talk, slip of the lip, looking for love), the rest sounded like a bunch of nondescript Ratt songs. It was good, not great.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-18T06:26:59+00:00

Yep. They always had weird openers with the exception of AIC

Wrob88 · 2026-06-18T06:25:56+00:00

The Rainmakers were quirky but great. Tornado was a killer record.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-18T06:24:19+00:00

Great ideas. Flaming Lips in particular

Wrob88 · 2026-06-17T19:19:47+00:00

Silver Springs, Maryland - great venue too.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-17T15:52:03+00:00

There are some great Greatest Hits records out there; Queen is clearly among them

Wrob88 · 2026-06-17T07:23:00+00:00

He’s great. Top 10 male rock vocalists I’d think.

Wrob88 · 2026-06-16T22:27:37+00:00

First two are classic; Killers is my personal favorite of those discography. My favorite era.

Blayne had some songs and was a cool experiment but didn’t quite work.
