Yep, I'm sad enough to know that your signature is "Losing It" without having to use Google.

But, I don't have anything after Grace Under Pressure.

 

Signals was a great album for me "losing it" and "analoguekid" being to of my faves, although not really a bad song on that or any rush album., I remeber in an english class we had to write an emotional poem and I wrote the words to ""losing it", I was only about 13 or 14 teacher thought it was terrific, and was suggesting publishing and stuff, had to come clean, got off with it as she saw funny side and asked me to tape the album, she was a rush fan from then on, Grace is good terrific lyrics but guitar too prominant, and album a bit "dark" Presto is a bit poppy in balance but again terrific lyrics, best one after Grace for me was "roll the bones", I have them all, have you heard the newer stuff, latest album is very much like their earlier stuff, very little keyboards and quite heavy. Try and hear their new EP of covers from the 60's and 70's, Rush doing covers surely not, these guys have got to be one of the best things around, shame Ged's voice puts some people off.

Ps check the new sig lyrics from "You Bet Your Life" on "Roll the Bones" this was the chorus.

Maybe we should start a fanzine "things we love about Rush"

And Neil Peart expanded my literary tastes. Well, I read a couple of Ayn Rand books.
