Good question...

   1. Rush
   2. The Bobs (nearly took the #1 spot)
   3. Spinal Tap
   4. The Goo Goo Dolls (Buffalo, NY band)
   5. Guns n' Roses (flame redardant activated)

Honorable Mentions go to John Williams, Nine Inch Nails, and Mozart.

Has anyone noticed the similarity between the 2112 theme piece ("Overture") 
and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture? There's even a piece of Tchaikovsky's music 
in that piece. Finding that out was the most bizarre incident I have had 
happen recently.

I assume this is the outlawing of all motor vehicles (except, of course for
police/gov't. use.) If you read "A Nice Morning Drive," from which the idea
came, it was just stricter and stricter government regulations on auto's that
eventually choked the industry. The end result here was huge, indestructable,
slow machines.

Its interesting that this stuff isn't so much fiction... There are laws proposed
in some states (I forget which) that will make cars older than X years illegal
to drive--where X is about 15-20 years.  The owners would be paid "fair value"
for the car and the car would be destroyed.

Another one in the works is the possibility of outlawing *any* engine to
be produced that runs on leaded fuels.  This, effectively, could wipe out
small airplane production (like it wasn't already in trouble), since every
airplane engine would have to be recertified in every airframe that uses
it. (A very long and expensive project for even one engine.)

...enough non-Rush rambling.

Well, I know this is kinda stupid, but this is how _I_ first got into RUSH.  I
was pre-registering for a gaming convention (Total Confusion V), and I saw an
AD&D event called "2112".  One of my friends, who was pre-reging with me, told
me this was based on a song by a group I haden't ever heard of before, namely
RUSH.  So I signed up for the event with him, and forgot about it.  Then, about
a week before the con, he came over to my house and told me that we should 
"study up" for this event, by listening to the song OVER AND OVER, gleaning
every peice of information out of it as possible.  So we did, and after about
3 hours, 2 notebooks, and _far_ too much food, I had gained a healthy respect
for RUSH, and a deep knowledge of 2112.  Since then, I've bought all but 3 of
their albums, been to 2 of their shows, and I am a true RUSH addict.

I would have to say after listening to the "head banger" groups of the late
seventies, and or the disco madness ("Here I am in the back seat with my
baby"); the first time I heard the 2112 album I knew that RUSH would be worth  
the listening .

I have collected all the albums and can recite most of the versus of my  
favorite songs. What other "rock" musical group can describe life in a tide  
pool (natural Science) or our listening to the radio (Spirt of the Radio) ?
How about philosophical discussions in cygnus ...

It's presumably a law passed by the repressive government of the future

   Actually, the music is written 6/4, 5/4, 6/4, 5/4... on the sheet music.
You could argue that this would constitute an 11/4, except I know some music
majors who would jump up and down and scream if you suggested any such time
signature could actually exist (something about traditions, or ettiquette,
or maybe technicalities--hey, I'm only an English grad student, so how should
I know?).

To know that CDs can be mastered even a few minutes over the 74 minute
is a little annoying to those who have CDs with songs excluded because
of this.  I own 'Exit Stage Left' and 'All thw World's a Stage,' which
are both by Rush, and both albums leave out a song because the
original length was only a few minutes over 74.  It seems as if the
standard should have been agreed upon to be able to remaster present
albums on LPs and Cassettes.

I just want to say that YES Battle Scar is the best song on the album in my 
opinion.  I do like April in Toledo and In the World of Giants very much
as well. I don't like Battle  Scar just because Rush plays on it 
, I like it because of the guitars and the lyrics (even though there 
isn't enough for my taste)

Secondly, I can very easily get the the other Max Webster albums very easily 
 it is just that I have not had the time or the money to get them. Kim
Mitchell is another one of my favorite artists but again I don't have 
the money or time to get his albums. I have liked Mitchell since I heard
Go for a Soda. I will probably finish my Max Webster and Kim Mitchell

The following is an excerpt from a postcard Neil sent me answering some
questions:

   "...the snare at the start of ``Vital Signs'' is an electronic job."

   The PZM mic was used only to get a bit of "drummer perspective" mixed into
the sound. To get a sound even close to the snare at the beginning of "Vital
Signs", you'd do something like this: put one mic beneath the drum about 1"
from the snares, tune both heads pretty tight and play it with a pencil.
   As for the drums on "Witch Hunt", that's just a heavy room mic with the
main tom mics turned down. Think of how a drum would sound at the end of a
long hallway - it'd be like this.

Really?  You liked the performance?  I thought AKid was their worst

	Ok.  This is dead wrong.  Stravinsky used a whole mess of time
signatures in The Rite, including 11/4.  I have the score.  You can write
anything in any time signature as long as you keep the beata in the right
spot.  The time signature justs makes it easier to see the phrasing.  If
you check _the Rite_ you'll see a masterful use of a lot of different time
signatures.  It is modern transcribers who try to simplify _The Rite_ by
keeping to 3/4 and 4/4 thereby making the music unreadable.  Again, Stravisky
definitely used 11/4 (and others) in the original score.
