Together was my introduction to TNP, and I'll always love it dearly. It's obviously colored my

I only own it on DVD, not album, but I agree it's pretty great.  I particularly love the moment when the groove first kicks in in "YYZ". There's a camera shot over Geddy's shoulder looking out onto the Rio crowd with him onstage playing. They're jumping up and down and just going apeshit and you can tell Geddy is

Hate to be "that guy" on a discussion of my favorite band ever. But it's "Snakes and Arrows", not Ladders.

I thought immediately of the tagline to The War of the Roses:

I was actually basing my knowledge of what Eddie Money looks like off of that Geico commercial.  Doesn't bode well for Stapp in, what, 20 years?

I kinda loved Rush's synthesizer era (or at least side A of all four albums plus a few side B stragglers), but that's when I grew up.  Strangely, I never had trouble telling them apart from Duran Duran, even then.  The real dead spot in Rush's catalog for me is "Test For Echo."

"Boys and Girls" was my starting point.  It's a good album that I only appreciated fully after I'd been a fan for a little while. I'd start with their next album, "Stay Positive," which is where the band really clicked for me.

It was their cover of Danzig's "Mother" that first intrigued me, a process that ended with me buying "Civilian."  Very good band.

He used to play drums for Motorhead.

Worship Music is decent, occasionally high quality meat and potatoes. Nothing more. Among the Living and Persistence of Time are Anthrax's two best albums. This album falls exactly nowhere on that continuum.

Green vs. Cavalera
I won't get a lot of traction on this issue, and that's fine. It's hard to imagine anything Sepultura has done since Max left matching Beneath the Remains, Arise and Chaos (and it hasn't come close), but I've thought from day one that Green was preferable (if not outright superior) to Max as a
