Rush - Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, and Signals

Once every six months or so, I'll just go on a major Rush kick.

There's a 5-pack for $20 that has the albums from 2112 to Signals aside from Hemispheres that I've been eyeing. The fact that I already own Moving Pictures and it's missing Hemispheres for whatever reason is what's making me have second thoughts about picking it up.

There is a similar Tom Petty 5-pack with some of his 80's albums and Into the Great Wide Open, though. That one I'm definitely considering.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!

I like Rush more with random songs, the only full album of theirs I really like is Moving Pictures. But that seems like a good deal.

That's... really odd that they'd leave Hemispheres out of there. No La Villa Strangiato, no sale.  :unimpressed:

Seriously though, it might be a nice pick up, both of them. Not for me, but maybe for you, as I'm a massive stickler for having albums together by release date in sets like these. Was the only reason I bought the Green Day one. I do know that they were releasing box sets for the Rush albums the same way they did with Genesis back in 2007/2008, but those are probably much more expensive.

Tom Petty fucking rules. The Heartbreakers were a band I heard all the time when I grew up, so their music is almost ingrained into me. Guy makes music that you can always go to when you can't decide what to go to.  :lol:

Petty's music really seems eternal. While most other classic acts will receive derision or the raise of an eyebrow when mentioned in high regards over time, I don't think his stuff has ever been out of vogue in any way, about as much so as the Beatles.

They also had packs for Lynyrd Skynyrd, KISS, and Marvin Gaye. Rush and Petty are the most appealing to me since they're the only two that don't have any greatest hits compilations (seriously, I swear that Gaye's has 2 or 3 of them, as well as a live album. Only What's Going On is a legit LP). KISS is especially annoying since it has the first 4 albums and a greatest hits. If they replaced that with Alive!, I'd be more inclined to get it. I'm not even much of a fan anymore, but at least I'd have them for a good price.

My only issue with Skynyrd as that I only really think the first two are classics. The rest of their material is very song by song basis, and I don't think the songwriting ever reached the heights of songs like Simple Man or Tuesday's Gone again.

If they included the first two albums, a live album, and a best of (and maybe their last album), then I'd say it would be totally worth it.

Well, I got so burned out on the road
Too many fags, too much blow
And then Mick and I split up and I said,
"Kid, it's time to take a little bit of a hiatus."
So I got myself a gig at the coffee shop
and I love it.
Why don't you take that corner booth,
I'll take your order in a minute...

Paradise Lost- "Honesty in Death"

Oh, and that Rush set I mentioned earlier? I was wrong, it's not even really in order. They swapped out Permanent Waves for Fly by Night, for whatever reason. And that's the other album I need the most, so blah.
