I hope, with this post, I have at least partly redeemed myself for having all those REM albums.
The first one I bought was 2112. After listening to my room-mate's record, I saw it in the ACU bookstore and bought it for myself. Next I think was Caress of Steel, probably purchased either at the bookstore or the Wal-Mart down the street. Everything up to Power Windows was originally purchased on LP except for Signals, which I somehow skipped. Yourmusic.com had their entire catalog up to Vapor Trails on CD, except for Power Windows, so I put them all the queue and replaced all the records plus added some new ones I didn't have yet to get caught up. I still don't have Feedback or Snakes & Arrows, but I'll get them sooner or later.
My favorites of these are 2112 and A Farewell to Kings, but overall Rush is still among my favorite groups, and I intend to keep following them as long they're around.
Album count: 486.
Excellent stuff. My favorites among these are Fly By Night, A Farewell to Kings, Permanent Waves, and Grace Under Pressure. I never really got into Rush's later stuff, although I did like some music off of Roll the Bones.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get any of their live albums? I had a couple, and I thought they were very good, too.
No. In general I've never been all that interested in live albums. I did buy a videotape of concert footage from the "Exit...Stage Left" time period.
