Sorry Rush, but I grew up with BIA and I love it to pieces.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

You see this is what happens when you vote out the good stuff before this stage.

Rush. By a couple of light years . though I do like the title track on BIA.

Rush - Power Windows all.....the......way.

Dire Straits.
The bones of beasts and the bones of kings become dust in the wake of the hymn.
Mighty kingdoms rise, but they all will fall, no more than a breath on the wind.

Dire Straits.


I love Rush, don't get me wrong. But Power Windows is one my least favorite Rush albums, and well - Brothers in Arms is a classic.
