Watch Rush working out to “Headlong Flight” off of their recent “Clockwork Angels”. This is one merits going full screen.:

    @BobBelvedere @smitty_one_each @rsmccain I still prefer Anthem, 2112 or stuff up to Test for Echo.

    Moon was best drummer EVER !!!!

    I think they’re a fine band. If ‘overrated’ is a skill/hype ratio, I’d give the most overrated title to Motley Crue.

    If only Zep had stayed sober long enough to write an ending for Immigrant Song… Greatest opening in the world, wasted.

    I like the cover version by Trent Reznor and Karen O.

    My $0.03 is that the 1980s are overrated, and there really haven’t been any new good rock bands since 2000.

    Well, someone had to post it. Perhaps the most cynical rock tune ever recorded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl9lfnNS4zU

    Bonham is the greatest rock drummer ever. It is not only R ‘n R fans who consider him so, but his peers as well. Greatest drummer for the greatest rock band ever!!!!!!!!

    How could Rock ‘n’ Roll be dead while Keith Richards lives?

    But the 1980’s gave us Xanadu, Streets of Fire and Get Crazy! Where could music possibly go from there but down?

    Dude, even the Swedish version (with Noomi Rapace) was better than that mess. In Swedish.

    Heh. I actually have the Xanadu soundtrack for the ELO tracks.

    I will admit to Blondie being a guilty pleasure band for me.
