Attn: Rush Fans
It seems the new movie 'I LOVE YOU, MAN' features McCC's most controversial band prominently, including a scene where the main characters (played by Paul Rudd and Jason Segel) attend a concert, and another where they belt out their own version of 'Limelight'. That track is also on the film's soundtrack, and you can hear it here.
Rush is back! Suck it, jponry haters!

Artie Lange does this great bit
I’ve heard him talk about it on the Howard Stern show a few times, when he auditioned for MadTV his audition bit was “Rush does Rush” where he recited some Rush songs in Rush Limbaugh’s voice. I haven’t been able to find a full version of this online, but here is just a little bit of it (begins at about 2:15), obviously some language that is not safe for work.

Okay then I might have to see this.
"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

perhaps I am biased
as an ex-GF (who dumped me and then proceeded to hook up with my friend) REALLY liked rush. But I hate this friggin’ band with the fury of 1000 suns. Cut out the drum wanking and annoying synthesizers and give me the 3 minute song hidden under the self-satisfied “art”.
Flossing a dead horse
Sounds like a pretty objective critique to me.

My plans for 2009: getting married and attending Tim Lincecum Bobblehead Day.
I’m not sure if I should be embarrassed or not, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a single Rush song. I want to check them out now, is there a particular song or album I should start with?
Song: YYZ or La Villa Strangiato
Album: I’d stay away from 2112 or Moving Pictures (although this is the album that YYZ is on). Maybe “Hemispheres” would be a good place to start.

When it was released, it took me awhile to get into it. It seemed a bit too…I’m not sure how to put this…forced, I guess. As if it was a concept album for concept album’s sake.

Now with all that said, the live concert for 2112 was amazing.

I’d say 2112 is one of their best but for new people into Rush it might be a bit much.

Just wondering, why would it be too much? There’s a lot of prog-ery going on in the album, but I think it’s pretty straight forward as far as Rush goes. I know it’s a concept album, but I never felt it was overly concepty.
Well, I’m kind of thinking off a bit, thinking of it as a complete song that would fill the side of an LP, but the more I think about it more there are “breaks” in between the “songs” during 2112. I guess it wouldn’t be as bad as I thought. I was just thinking of the 3-4 minute songs everyone is used to and typically a 15-20 minute song scares them.

Pie-man, you have just slammed two of my favorite Rush albums. Good day, sir.

The song “Roll the Bones.” Talk about an insane flow. Even MF Doom wouldn’t have thought to rhyme “facts” with “parallax.”

I’m not sure what others would say, but Test For Echo might be a good one to start at. It doesn’t have the long suites which sometimes turn people off and has some of the driving riffs and strange tempo changes that Rush is famous for.

I feel sad for you.
How could you really have been deprived of Rush this far into your life? But better late than never, I suppose.
I think it depends on what kind of music you prefer. Do you like radio music, with mostly hit, mainstream songs? I’d suggest 2112, it has some of the best Rush hits on there, with Limelight, Tom Sawyer, and YYZ. If you’re looking for more of a musical experience, I’d suggest Hemispheres, which is essentially a musical story.
