You'll have to excuse me. Right now, I am a bit overwhelmed. There is so much to do. I came here to do a brief review of Rush's Moving Pictures. I just realized, that is absolutely impossible.

This album was the first album that I bought from Rush. It is really, truly a brilliant album. I've listened to it many times since I got it three years ago. It grows on you a lot. There are so many elements to it that make it such a classic. I know you all know what kind of classic is this, but let's say something about this album.

It actually has more to do with their influence and significance. That, and we also feature a lot of prog rock bands here due to its similarities with prog metal, so the "metal" part does have some merit. ---- I have no memory of this place. Loading...

Yeah, I think lots of Rush songs are progressive hard rock (not Metal) but some are more like progressive Metal. And yes, Rush influenced countless Metal musicians. ---- "Why would we fear death, when life is so much more frightening?" Loading...
