Even saw 'em in concert. Their lyrics got me to reading Ayn Rand (from the 2112 album). While I no longer listen to them today I'd have to agree that from a purely intellectual point of view they were (and I suppose continue to be) a singularly unique band. Dani, I'm puzzled. I suppose tastes change though personally I'm having a hard time trying to identify any musical artist or band that I once listened to but no longer would as it might simply just be a matter being in a certain mood conducive to that artist or bands type of music. So is there a particular reason you no longer listen to RUSH today? Is it a change of political or religious belief or a change of temperament? Just curious. Oh oh, I too saw em in concert only a couple of years ago here in Portland, Oregon (nearest big city to me). The coolest thing about the whole event was seeing entire families there to see them that spanned 3 and maybe even 4 generations. No kidding I saw grandparents (first gen) with their children (second gen) along with their children (third gen) and those children's babies (forth gen) in tow. It was a beautiful sight! Myself I find moods for all sorts of music ranging from Johann Pachelbel's - Canon in D or Requiem by Mozart, to Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin or Teen Spirit by Nirvana and a whole bunch of things in between and sideways of these. I love "Radar Love" by Golden Earring for driving down a lonely highway going really really too fast! Oh and can anyone give me the correct mood for Maurice Ravel's Bolero? ;)p Ok while on the subject of music I'd like to share with you all some ambient music I love for sleeping, resting and meditating by. Guess what the name of the first stream is? No takers? Ok , it's... get this... CRYOSLEEP! Hehe Here's the Winamp net radio (Shoutcast) link to it: http://scastsrv4.shoutcast.com:8016/listen.pls Here's the main link to many more Ambient music streams: http://www.shoutcast.com/waradio.phtml?genre=Ambient Some of my favorites found here for sleeping or just relaxing are: Axioms, Groove Salad, Drone Zone, SleepBot and BlueMars. BlueMars is at the same website as Cryosleep. The best ones for sleeping are a continuous stream of ambient ethereal in nature music with little abruptness to stir one from slumber. They take hours to repeat so I've found them very conducive to a good nights rest. Enjoy.
