January 8

R.I.P. Phil Kennemore of Y&T

THE ALBUM OF THE DAY
RUSH...Moving Pictures (1981)
(CD, vinyl, Allmusic review)
The 8th studio album from Rush is absolutely superb! It is my favorite of all Rush albums, and the general public must agree as it is the most successful record in the band's history, selling more than 4 million copies in the US alone. The album reached number 3 on the US Billboard album charts. My favorite Rush song ever is on Moving Pictures, "Red Barchetta". The other 6 are also great tracks, with the highlights being "Tom Sawyer", "YYZ", and "Limelight". It is highly recommended for your collection
