Half way point eh. Might have to move on from TOOL after this. A choppy, crunchy angry/funny classic.

Keyboard era this
Keyboard era that.
Pfft. The 80’s was Lerxst in his peak creative era. Why you no talk about this solo? 🔥
I’d pit his 80’s solos against any other part of his Lerxstgacy. Digital Man, Between The Wheels, Open Secrets can also be admitted as evidence

I’m including this on the back of seeing it played live. I’m old, I went to my first concert (Iron Maiden/Killer World Tour Newcastle City Hall March 7th 1981) but I think in 44 years of concert going, I’ve never seen a more savage live song.

Starting and then stopping. Taking off and landing.
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles

And they OPENED with this?! Oh my days. A real set list high when I last saw them in Dublin.
Strong contender for my Radiohead favourite

‘Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden’
I’m lucky my youngest daughter and me have multiple mutual music loves. This track we belt out at the top of our voices by the campfire on starry summer nights. Another OK C classic

Hauling myself away from listing endless Rush songs, here I am down another worm hole with Radiohead. If I’m not careful I’ll be down to 10.
There’s going to have to be a couple off OK Computer. Starting here. Familiarity has never dulled its thrill.

Love this track. And a nod to The Darkness who do a SCORCHING live cover.

Still with my favourite band in this 90’s #MusicChallenge. I’ll try make this my last Rush pick as I’ve so many house tracks to fit in 😬
Rarely play T4E but Driven goes on every playlist. Certified banger

Still with my favourite band in this 90’s #MusicChallenge.

Somehow we find each other, through all that masquerade.
Somehow we found each other.
Somehow we have stayed in a state of Grace.

Still with my favourite band in this 90’s #MusicChallenge. 90’s Rush is a bit overlooked. Counterparts is all quality, RTB, for me, not as consistently good, but its peaks are absolute gems. Like opener Dreamline. Quite happy for you to open with this live lads!

Just realised I have to fit in my 90’s Rush/Tool/Radiohead into this #MusicChallenge, so the variation is going to disappear for a few days!
Another from Counterparts. Should’ve been played live. May yet 🤷‍♂️🤞

If ranked, this would be #1 or #2 with another 90’s Rush track
Always thought it’s sounded better on Counterparts than live.

Mezzanine is an absolutely essential 90’s album and Risingson has always been my favourite track. The perfect combination of power, beats, eeriness and tension with release. Simply masterful music making
