So Cal Bassists

A good thing that 2112 went gold, then, because Fly By Night and Caress Of Steel sold less than a quarter-of-a-million thousand copies after their release, and their contract was dangerously close to nonrenewal.

"Nothing Rush ever did after Moving Pictures comes close to Caress Of Steel!"

What a load.

Really. He's welcome to his opinion but even Rush have said that album sucked and never played anything off it live.

Didn't they play "Bastille Day" & "Lakeside Park"? I do like the album, as a Rush fanboy, but to say it's better than Signals and Grace Under Pressure (just for a pair of quick examples) is silly.

I personally think nothing RUSH has done has been better than Moving Pictures. That's my favorite RUSH album by far. I wore the cassette out when I was in my teens.

You're totally right, brutha! Nothing has been better, but one album, Signals is just as good.

True, but yes Signals and Grace Under Pressure are good RUSH albums. All bow down to Moving Pictures though
