Yeah, the intro to Limelight is easy to play.  The solo, on the other hand…

I didn't do it, you knob.

Couldn't find this elsewhere in the comments, but Jacob Moon's 2008 version of "Subdivisions" is easily the best cover of a Rush song, ever:

That album has some good bits (particularly Steve Morse's solos on La Villa), but the rhythm guitar on most of the tracks is straight out of the "When In Doubt, Palm Mute!" school of cheesy heavy metal…

TNMS was my introduction to the Internet.  Discovered it in the fall of '93, right before Counterparts came out.

Roll The Bones, sorry to say, has the definitive collection of lousy Rush songs:  Face Up, The Big Wheel, Neurotica, You Bet Your Life… ugh.

"No One At The Bridge" is easily the best Rush song that nobody outside of the obsessive fan base (cheerfully admit my membership) has ever heard.

It's a great album.  Really appreciated it being revived in a big way on the last tour.

Roll The Bones, sadly, was a "quickie" by Rush's standards, written and recorded in just a few weeks.  It really shows… at least half the album is just inlistenable ("Neurotica," "The Big Wheel," etc.—just dreadful).  It's probably the band's worst album overall.

Appropriately enough, Freddie recorded the best tribute track himself, "The Show Must Go On."

Fine choice on "Dear John."  You wouldn't expect that song to be as good as is is, particularly coming from Styx.  Most rock star eulogy songs are mawkish at best, but Shaw really did a nice job on that one.

Rush ought to be members of both Halls.  If Jann Wenner could finally get that message, why not Paul Allen?

You're right, Mr. The Kid.  You're nearly as smart as So Crates.

Love that one myself.  Muzz's fretless bass solo… perfect.  And Reid's solo on that one is spot on as well, just threading the needle between a sweet melody and hyper-distorted noise.

Living Colour is what the 90's SHOULD have sounded like. Saw them in '88 before "Cult" hit and they were "Living what?" Audience of mostly white kids who were there to see the now-forgotten flavor-of-the-week headliner. LC opened the show, blew the other two acts clear out of the hall, and won over the whole damn…

Just the funniest show on TV over the past 20-odd years.

Pardon my (Steve) French, but FUCK YEAH!

Neeson wasn't bad by any stretch, but he couldn't contain his disgust (and I can't say I blame him) anytime he had to 'act' with some CGI creation that wasn't actually there.

That episode is probably the best and funniest thing ever filmed about college football.

Pernilla August in "The Phantom Menace." The only genuine acting in the whole movie…
