Sure, when Neil sings falsetto-y, it's great. But if Getty Lee does it? RUSH sucks.

Double-standard!

What was the name of that cover group that did this song in the mid 70's?

Wow. No idea. Did it have a tambourine in it?

Prelude was the band that hit the Top 40 with an a capella version in 1976.  I have it, if you want it.

But what you *really* want is the version recorded by Linda, Dolly and Emmylou on the "Trio" album.  That's MUSIC, y'alls.

AND they're both Canadian, so they really should be judged the same.

I'm totally with you on this one Beej.

I had the Dolly Linda Emmylou cassette. Wish I still had it.... Might have to re-acquire.

I want them all, when you figure out how to rip from iTunes!  Someday I'll get that version of From a Distance by the Byrds from you, I hope!

IMFO = "In My Feeble Opinion"? Your opinion's not feeble!

I still like RUSH but I was just kidding. Neil deserves all the love he gets here.

We know Mark is from St. Louis, so that might explain his Rush predeliction, but where'd you get exposed Beej?

Thanks, man! Your mind is not for rent to any God or government.

it begs the question, though: what is it about Canada that makes men sing so high?

Neil's whine = the pain of human suffering
Geddy's whine = the ability to communicate with dogs
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

WHOA - I really think "Almost Cut My Hair" is a 10@10 breakout.  Wasn't this snipped from A to Z?
