Have you noticed Donna Halper joins the TNB chat occasionally? I often wonder if people recognize her when her name scrolls past when she comments.

I haven't listened to the first 3 albums in decades, but I can say unequivocally that The Garden is my favorite song with lyrics and La Villa Strangiato is my favorite instrumental. But albums...nope. Can't order them or pick a fave.

No! I've not yet been able to catch TNB live and don't generally read the chat while watching the video. I may need to adjust my habits and preferences. I've seen her occasionally comment here, but didn't think it appropriate to fangirl on her. I hope she's noticed the Rush love several of us have brought here.

I still can't listen to "The Garden" without waterfalls of tears, but my son might agree with you. "Mission" and "Available Light" are almost always in my top five; I've sprinkled lyrics from the latter on my website. If I cared about the Grammys, I'd say it's a tragedy that none of their instrumentals ever received one. It's hard for me to rank their longer instrumentals, they're just too good. And then there's that short and saucy slice of heaven that features Geddy's sick bass: "Malignant Narcissism". :chef's kiss:

So nice to see so many Rush fansтАФand females at that!тАФhere.
