[QUOTE="GDPR 9733, post: 166076"] They didn't talk about it in hindsight. They talked about it in many interviews at the time, not in hindsight. They also ignored the advice of their record company at the time. They decided to focus on the concert halls, not the airwaves. They talked about this in the lyrics to the song 'The Spirit of Radio' in 1980: "One likes to believe In the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity. For the words of the profits are written on the studio wall: "CONCERT HALL" - Echoes with the sounds... of salesmen." By the way, when you write about Rush, it seems you are stuck in 1976. Rush stopped being a proggy band with Ayn Rand lyrics after their first albums.. From 1980 until 2018 they were more mature. You saw them in the seventies when they were still very young and still looking for their sound and style. It's like someone judging The Beatles based on their first singles, while ignoring every other thing The Beatles went on to do... [/QUOTE]
