Whenever I play a 'Rush' album or song, I find it impossible to listen to anything else afterwards without feeling dissapointed. Everything else just pales in comparison...

Why?

Good answer, but I think it must be something more.

Subliminal messages?

I never liked Rush...they sound too..generic, repetitive...with their songs. But hey, this is coming from somebody who hated The Beatles for their vocal sound a few years back, so who knows; maybe I'll wake up one day and look through the MFSL Rush catalog again.

It might be the variation I like, whether its the prog style 70s or the synth 80s. It's all just too darn good.

But even I'm not hardcore enough to stretch for a MFSL 2112 disc.

Yet...

My Rush collection is one of the reasons I'm keeping the DT 770/80.
Rush make me hate my other headphones.

Repetitive, generic? You must be joking...They are all the opposite, there are not two similar songs in their repertoire...About the Beatles, I'm with you, I can not stand them five minutes...

Why you like them MuseMan? They are simply unique...

Moving pictures is the album that caused me to stop listen to Rush. I hated it.

Why would you stop listening to the band completely? Why not just ignore that album and enjoy the others if you disliked it that much?
