I like the Rush of the Farewell to Kings-Hemispheres-2112 era.  Geddy's
vocals don't bother me.  I guess partly out of respect to Theo, we avoid
bringing it up that much.  I also rather liked Signals.  Most of the
stuff they've done since then I don't care for.

Hey, everyone has got to have their pet dislikes.  I was never all that
fond of 'Brainstorm'.  About the only version of it I ever liked was the
one on Live '79.  See?  And I can't stand 'Watching the Grass Grow'.
Nothing against Nik, mind you, just, well, never got those two.
