Hey H4H. Haven't posted in a while but I've been following along, just haven't felt like I've had anything constructive to say.
But when I read your last post I just had to say RUSH ROCKS! My favorite band also! And I raised my boys well. S20 really likes them and S16 thinks they're the greatest band on earth. And he agrees with you, Neil is a drum god. I've seen them in concert 6 times, most recently in Aug 07.
Yeah, all they need now is a lead singer who doesn't sound like a helium-induced housecat suddenly thrown into the blender.
I am the same age but I could never get into that group. I was a Hard Rock fan...and Pink Floyd of course. I could not get past the voice of RUSH's lead singer.
Pup and ILF, Geddy Lee is a large reason that makes them so unique. The music, the lyrics, Neils drumming, Geddy's voice....
10 years eligible, I think, and NOT in the Hall yet is a crime.
I did like Pink Floyd, but I just never got into all their stuff. I can remember listening to 'Dark Side of the Moon' and '2112' several times together....
well actually I DON'T remember much of those times because we were smoking A LOT.
I do remember saying, "Duuude!" and "Wo!" way too many times.

The Gin Blossoms were ok but those grunge guys rewrote rock the way we knew it.
I remember a quote from Mike Reno of Loverboy, who I was really into in the 80's. I was one of the first one's in my group to have their first album. That was a good one.
Paraphrasing him, "We were doing really well, and then Nirvana came along and just killed us." Something along those lines.
You and your abbreviations.
Your going to have us all scratching our heads. CHR?
