Moving Pictures
RushI didn’t appreciate Rush until in my 40’s, I wish I had started listening to them 30 years ago. This album is a favorite and while it’s all great, Neil’s drumming is inspiring.

I can appreciate the musical talent here but (most of) the lyrics on this album are not my thing.
Halford said of Living After Midnight, “That’s where the name comes from. It’s a rock ’n’ roll song about a band coming into town and leaving you at dawn. When we play the song live, no matter where we are in the world, the room just lifts up and the fans go wild. It’s like we’re taking you on a time machine back to 1980, and you’re out partying with your friends.” That’s exactly how it feels listening to this album.
I gave an extra star for Epic and War Pigs. Otherwise, meh.
“Razor sharp post punk anthems” Makes me feel like I’m 13 discovering punk rock for the first time.
As a teen in the Bay Area in the early 80’s, bands like these were the soundtrack to all the boys I knew skateboarding in Thrasher t-shirts. There are better bands from this era, though: Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, and the Misfits, to name a few.
The East Bay is home to some of the best bands of my youth. The first time I heard a Green Day song 30+ years ago I was hooked and this album, there are no words to describe how much I love it.
I was only familiar with the song Tightrope before listening to the whole album. It’s fantastic, I love it.
Love that it’s bluesy and psychedelic. Jimi described it as “science fiction rock and roll”. Intoxicatingly good.
It’s a good indie record. Not my favorite TS album though.
I like this a lot, definitely going into my music rotation.
I’m just a teenage dirtbag, baby Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh
Beck’s guitar and Rod’s vocals are a match made in heaven. I like this so much more than I thought I would.
Amazing. I love everything about this album. Her voice and style is just spectacular.
As a child of the 70s, all I really knew of the Bee Gees was their Saturday Night Fever era disco music. I am blown away that their early music was inspired by the Beatles. Some of it sounds like Paul or John wrote it! While this concept album isn’t my favorite, the Gibb brothers’ harmonies are just. so. good.
Feels just as relevant today as it did when it came out. Excellent.
