To celebrate the induction of Rush into the RRHoF, let us play a game.

Post a picture that represents a song or some lyrics from the great band that is Rush, and then let us try to guess the song and/or lyrics. Let the frivolity commence!

well, I knew the morse code thing - I got no idea what time signature things are in...I still don't understand all that and I was in choir in Jr High. I just sang what they told me when they told me. And then I hit puberty and my voice changed and I couldn't sing any more. :/

First Rush album I bought, actually.

Bought a few more after that. Found out it wasn't their best effort by a long shot, but still a good listen.
