In the years since 1977 I have grown to be a fan of Rush, have several albums (including 2112) by them, and this song is probably my favorite of theirs.
The debut album by Elvis Costello is an underestimated classic. Most of us know a song or two from it, but it was chock full of great songs and although Costello has had a great music career, I find it hard to say he’s done anything better than this first album.
Neko Case’s “Fox Confessor Brings the Flood” could be my favorite album of 2006. It brings back memories of working out with weights at the YMCA, and of vacationing with family in Montana. It’s an album that I had on heavy rotation for my personal listening for a long time.
