Scratching That Rush Itch (Rash)

[The Picnic Wasp]

Sometimes, because of some thought trigger or other, or sometimes seemingly for no apparent reason, a Rush song will come to mind and I feel the need to listen to that track with a degree of urgency. Yesterday 'Halo Effect' bubbled to the surface of my brain and stayed there until I managed to have a listen. I thought this thread might be worth a visit for such times.

My most recent example of this was Available Light.

I've got a different earworm at the moment. I know it is by Jean-Michel Jarre, but I don't know the title of the track.

Got it - Equinoxe Part V

Sorry for going off topic.

Move along now, nothing to see here . . .

I rarely get a Rush itch these days I'm sorry to say...

Last time I felt the need to listen to a Rush tune it was for nostalgic reasons really, a sort of brief vacation in the past. And it was Something for Nothing. Maybe a month ago although I did play a couple of other tunes from 2112 since then.

But I rarely get an itchin' to rock, or indeed the season of the itch.

I'm with Fishy.

I'm getting on in life, there's still too much other music out there to find and listen to.

I shall plough this furrow alone 😂

Sorry TPW, I'm with the others. I rarely get that 'itch' for some Rush (Rash). If I ever do it would be LVS which I never tire of hearing.

Listen to them all the time.  In contrast to others, I have neither the time nor patience to listen to new stuff.  I want the comfort of stuff I knew and grew up with.  Any 'new stuff' I listen to is invariably old stuff that I've just discovered or haven't heard before.

Thank you.

I never tire of Subdivisions, other than that haven't played them in a long time.

As an unabashed fanboi I definitely get this itch.

Usually I'll put on a live track from one of the Blu-rays, but watch it on YouTube cos usually I can't be arsed going to all the trouble of sticking in an actual disc.

I also occasionally re-appraise the albums on CD in the car, but that can end up spanning weeks if there's nothing else taking my fancy at the time.

But you do like the new Paolo Nutini, no?

Take A Friend

Making breakfast this morning. No idea why it suddenly started playing in my head.

Only fairly sporadically for me, most recently triggered by seeing Rushed play a cracking 3 hour free gig in the Swinging Arm rock pub, in Darkest Birkenvegas 😂

This prompted me, after a mere 40 years, to finally decide that Permanent Waves is actually my favourite album by the boys (for me, the golden period was 76-81)
