Not to play the one-up game, but your thoughts on Moving Pictures is the way I feel about 2112. I thought their guitar-bass-drums stuff was so much better than their synth and Taurus pedals stuff. I also liked it better when Geddy belted out songs in his ultra-high falsetto, but he probably can't hit the upper register like he used to...oh well, the years take their toll on us all.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I call the early Rush years the *screamin'* years. Geddy's voice on Anthem, Finding my Way and Working Man---well...dammit it just rocks!

Actually, having just seen them live less than 24 hours ago, I have to say, Geddy's voice is as high and squeeky as ever.

I saw them about 8 years ago and at that time, Geddy seemed unable to hit the really high notes. But not anymore.

Oh and I have to vote for "Presto" as my all time favorite Rush album. "Show Me, don't Tell Me" and "The Pass" are such awesome songs...

Many years ago, I heard a radio interview with Rush, and a caller asked Geddy "how he was able to sing such high notes." I seem to recall Neil replying, "Clothes pins. Show him, Geddy!"
