Hi there.  This is my first time posting to this group.  but  I had to put
in my two cents on my first Rush...

My first time hearing them was when I had gotten a new stereo.  My brother 
brought me his copies of Moving Pictures and Signals.  I have to admit that
prior to that time(I was in junior high at the time)  I thought that Rush was
just another heavy metal group, but after hearing those albums, I had a complete
turn around.  

They're songs really speak of life.  I still find their stuff really interesting
to listen to.  Thanks to my brother, I now have everything from 2112 to RTB on 
cd.  They are by far the best power trio I've ever heard.

   Interesting--in my experience, Rush fans are generally more reasoning
and open-minded than the average.  Then again, perhaps I'm thinking of
people who *listen* to Rush, not just own their albums.

Well, notes is music are denoted by number (1-whole note, 2-half note,
4-quarter note, 8-eigth note, etc, etc)  The A is the number of
beats in a measure (that was correct) and the B is the type of
note that gets the beat.  (in 7/4 time each quarter note gets a beat,
in 7/8 time each 8th note gets the beat....

You haven't misremembered, nor have I. The point is that if 
the river was chosen by Neil just because it was around (rather
than because of, or in part because of its pointing south) the
whole interpretation crumbles. If the river had flowed east
then the question of the US would not arise, but instead perhaps
the question of Quebec might.  I see no reason to believe th
river was chosen because of its direction, I think it was 
chosen because it was simply near Toronto, just like Lakeside
Park and Danforth and Pape....

   How about "Jacob's Ladder"?  It starts out switching between 5/4 and
6/4 EVERY MEASURE.  Or "Natural Science", which has a lot of funky time
signatures as well.  Actually, most of _Permanent_Waves_ features such
time signatures ("Freewill", "The Spirit of Radio").
   And, of course, "La Villa Strangiato" from _Hemispheres_ has already
been pointed out, but remains one of the most complex pieces Rush has
ever done (every time I listen to it I feel a little more intimidated).
   With Rush, it's difficult to find a song that DOESN'T have "unusual"
time signatures.  Even "Time Stand Still" has a 7/4 instrumental bridge.
It's one of the many reasons Rush remains my favorite group after many
years of listening.

	Yeah, and bits of _Fly by Night_ could be considered fairly metallic
as well--  I'm thinking particularly of "Anthem," "Beneath, Between, Behind,"
and "By-Tor and the Snow Dog."  And when considers that these albums came
out in '75 and '76, when "heavy metal" had a very different meaning than it
does today, it seems more than fair to categorize early Rush as "heavy
metal."

	I certainly wouldn't consider Rush as a whole to be metal either,
and I too think that categorization of bands and music is pretty pointless
when you really get down to it.  But, if I were forced to come up with a
label to describe Rush's entire oeuvre, I would probably choose "progressive
rock" or "progressive metal," or borrow the term that's come to be so 
frequently applied to Queensryche, "intellectual rock."
	Such categories, of course, are so undescriptive as to be almost
meaningless.  I don't whether this says more about the artist who "refuses
to" fit into any of the commonly-recognized categories or about the ultimate
meaningless of the existence of categories.

Interesting that they were also both big hits. I think, however, that
Alex does use quite a few unusual chords (most highlighted in p/g?)
on every album. I'm not surprised that the songs that went top-40
were nothing unusual.

   I agree that Rush succeeds in composing songs that work as a cohesive unit,
regardless of time signature changes.  I think that there aren't many bands that
use different time signatures in their songs, because such complication is not
necessary for their musical expression.  Of the bands that do, I think there
are two categories:  those that are piecing together several riffs that are
musically different, and those that are striving for a "movement" or classical
music feel.

   Rush is probably a combination of the two.  Geddy has commented that a song
like Red Barchetta was somewhat a combination of riffs, and that they have tried
to write songs that flow more smoothly in later albums.  Songs such as Losing It
or Jacob's Ladder attest to their development of the ability to create songs 
that have smooth transitions between time signatures.

   Of bands that use different time signatures that work as well, I would say
that songs by Kansas like The Pinnacle and Journey from Mariabronn do very well
in 'flowing' among different musical passages.  Other songs they have done do 
have time changes that sound more forced;  I'd say that Rush is the most 
consistent band I have heard in producing these type of songs that 'work' well.

   To change the subject, about whether 11/4 is/isn't a bogus time signature...
I agree with a previous entry which said that mostly by convention, smaller
signatures like repeating 5/4, 6/4 are used.  This is partly because musicians
are often forced to sightread music (abuse, in my opinion!).  Something like
11/4 throws people off pretty easily, since in sightreading you have to read
ahead a measure or so of what you're playing.

   Yo.
   Of course, I started out with "Caress of Steel" and "2112" which are NOT
easy introductions, especially when your previous musical experience was
either playing classical music or listening to "American Top 40" (with
Kasey Kasem!!! Yay!!!).
   Actually, I started out by receiving "Moving Pictures" for my birthday.
I liked it, so I bought the above albums.  They turned me off presto (ha!)
pronto.  I picked up "Signals" along the way, and didn't like it either,
for reasons which I find incomprehensible now.
   So, for several years, I drifted through a musical wasteland, listening
to Side 1 of "Moving Pictures" and not much else.  I specifically remember
hearing "Grace Under Pressure" and not liking it.  Then...
   Something got me to listen to "2112" again.  I loved it.  I picked up
"Signals".  Loved it.  Asked myself what I'd been thinking for all those
years.  Started to collect copies of songs courtesy a friend of mine who
was a Rush fan.  Just missed being able to see the "Power Windows" tour,
but received the album for Christmas.
   Well, that did it.  I kept playing those few albums, falling further
in love with the complex music and lyrics.  Eventually, I managed to go
to see the "Hold Your Fire" tour, and eight days later (for Christmas
again) I got every album I didn't previously own.  I listened to them
all in one shot (which took about seven hours!).
   The rest, as they say, is history.  But if you count from when I
got "Moving Pictures" for my birthday, it took me about three years
to "get into" Rush, which seems like more than a "little time," and
which is probably long enough to prove a point of some sort.  Like
that I was an idiot of a teenager.
   Whoops...I think the audience fell asleep.  Sorry, people; wake
up.  Hey, WAKE UP!  HELLO?
   Okay, maybe they just left.

	In response to favorite one liners.  Both of my favorites are currently 
from Presto.  

	"I feel my spirit resist

I love the warmth with which Geddy sings this.

	The second is,

	"Christ, what have you done?"  The Pass

I think this line sums up the song pretty simply.  I think this musical

	Actually, most of it consisted of fairly reasonable responses to
a few mindless flames from the vice versa folks, but that's beside the
point.  

	Not counting Rush, I'd have to say that my three favorite extant bands
are, not in any particular order:

	Queensryche     (no flames, please)
	Boiled in Lead  (Celtic rock)
	Enya		(OK, she's a person, not a band)
