Some big media account on Twitter asked people what they think the best music album ever was, front to back.
While some albums are more iconic than others, the fascinating thing about the question is...
For me it was Rush’s Moving Pictures. I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma and the only radio stations were religious based, country, and top 40. The first time I heard Rush was on the back steps of the high school AKA the smoking area. Yes we had a smoking area at school. In 1984 Rush was going to be in Tulsa so a bunch of us drove down to Tulsa spent the night on the sidewalk in front of the convention center to get tickets for us and at least 20 others. It was a great show and I’m still friends with those guys. We get together about every 5 years and had one of those gatherings last week. We’re mostly in other states now but anytime we get together it’s like we just saw each other yesterday. Every time I hear Rush it always reminds me of a simpler carefree time. And Moving Pictures was a perfect album from start to finish. Thanks for sharing Lyn. I always love how certain songs can bring back great memories
