Rush

had to give it to 2112, though Xanadu and Cygnus X-I are also some of my favorite songs of all time.

Has anyone else seen the new documentary Beyond the Lighted stage? I bought it when it came out a few months ago.. it was so good, seriously- to anyone who enjoys Rush, you should watch it. one of the best done musical documentaries I've ever seen
 
i've only heard their work up to Moving Pictures, all of which i highly enjoyed but then i decided to check out Grace Under Pressure and ill honeslty say the frist spin around i thought it was rather average and was dissapointing to me, maybe ill give it another go
 
I guess you're right about music and art being pretentious in general, and nothing being automatically bad about being pretentious. I just personally dislike the music I consider pretentious.

However, punk rock is relatively unpretentious music. It's stripped-down rock and roll with simple chord structures and no lengthy guitar solos.

The Stooges are sort of overrated but only among critics and serious music fans. The vast majority of people have no idea who they are.
 
Yea, I never liked that change of style. For me, they peaked about halfway through Moving Pictures. I agree they released a lot of quality material, I even like their early stuff like "Working Man" quite a bit.
 
I think Geddy's voice has definitely improved over the years. Up until Moving Pictures, it definitely had room for improvement. It used to be really harsh, although the music made up for it's weakness.
