"(including?)" That's a bold statement! I think you need to listen to Moving Pictures again! Where's the track that isn't sublime(light) there?
Gotta say they're still not too shabby for 50 (very nearly 60) somethings! Most are on the gravy train, trotting out the same old, same old after 38 years. So, being brave on this album is to be admired. In fact, the last 3 albums (after a bit of a dip in form) have all been superb.
Best band ever! Best all-round guitarist ever (IMO), best drummer ever (in lots of peoples opinion), Geddy's pretty handy on that bass too. No mainstream publicity - ever - and they can still fill multiple nights at big venues. Biggest "underground" band ever? Perhaps so.
