Day 8, Album 8. I still often chuckle when I see the brilliance of the “moving” pictures on the steps of the Ontario Legislative Building adorning its cover. Still haven’t mastered that “grind” in “Limelight’s” intro. After all, we’re merely players.😉 #MovingPictures #RushFamily

Day 7, Album 7 What a way to begin a new decade, eh? After the recording “pains” of #Hemispheres, #LeStudio provided a fresh atmosphere for the creativity we appreciate to this day. Hearing “The Spirit of Radio” during a HS French class trip to Quebec is my earliest childhood memory of @RushTheBand.

My post on Rush’s #Hemispheres was flagged as containing “adult content” because I attached a photo of the album cover?🤷‍♂️😂

Just realized I forgot Day 6, Album 6. Although very much worth the wait, it’s reputedly considered by the band to be one of their most difficult albums to finish. My second-favourite @RushTheBand album. First track ever heard: Circumstances. #Hemispheres #Fsharp11 #RushFamily

Day 5, (studio) Album 5 First of their albums to be recorded overseas. Loved it from the first notes of the title track. Increased pitch of Xanadu was allegedly done to fit it in Side 1 of the LP. I think I read that somewhere.🤷‍♂️ (I used #Audacity to fix that😉🤘) #AFTK👑 #RushFamily

Day4 on @bsky.app, Album 4: Considered by many to be the band’s masterpiece, @RushTheBand’s 1976 release silenced media and record company critics alike, after a lukewarm (oftentimes scathing) reception of #CoS. Who had the last laugh?🤘 #Rush2112 #RushFamily

Day 3, Album 3. Acquired via the “Archives” triple album release in 1986 (gray jacket). Some of the best prog rock: “The Necromancer” and “The Fountain Of Lamneth.” “The three travelers, men of Willowdale, emerge from the forest shadows…” #CoS #DownTheTubesTour #Pratterday #RushFamily

Second day on @bsky.app complete. Unfollowed many at the other place. Still too much “noise” over there. Day 2, Album 2. First @rushtheband album to feature producer Terry “Broon” Brown. Favourite track: By-Tor And The Snowdog🐶 #FBN #GeddyFriday #RushFamily

First full day on @bsky.app is complete. Much less stressful than elsewhere.😌 Day 1, Album 1. #RushFamily

Why am I here? Because I’m here… #RushFamily
