Have you ever heard of them or listened to them?
I believe so, on the radio. I like their song Tom Sawyer. Though his mind is not for rent, don't put him down as arrogant!
lol yeah that is one of their radio friendly songs...they often made those for one side of an album and then a concept half album.
It seems state control is a recurring theme. Are you down with the Man, or do you want the Man to go down?
Really? hmm, it seems that was the case for the album 2112 but I don't think the went back to that theme much, perhaps in single stand alone songs from time to time....If you liked Tom Sawyer you'd probably like The spirit of radio and Limelight.
I wish they could bring Peart back. Those grooves will last forever!
I have no real proof but I believe it was his ability that inspired Geddy and Alex to get much better
Those guys inspired each other as well as the rest of us. I haven't gone out of my way for progressive music, but mathematically it's very rich and underappreciated.
I agree 100%....It's just the fact that it's not catchy at first like much of the mainstream stuff so if someone doesn't like it the first time they listen then they won't try again.
Their time signatures, liberal yet tasty synth use, and raw talent shine through in this 4/4 world.
4/4... What made you mention that? :) And is that the time/speed they use a lot?
