The Rush Scam: Revealed!

I like Rush. Not the conservative radio personality, but the Canadian rock band. Nobody else in my family shares this opinion and every time I put on a Rush song my wife and brother make fun of me to no end.

I recently added the double CD "Chronicles" to my collection. It's a compilation of their best work, released in 1990. Unfortunately, the existence of this double album reveals the Rush scam. In 1997, Rush released "Retrospective", another two CD set of their best material. A comparison of the content of these two collections reveals they're virtually the same. It's a maddening Rush cash-grab!

• Exhibit A: Song lists for Chronicles Disc 1 and Chronicles Disc 2
• Exhibit B: Song lists for Retrospective Disc 1 and Retrospective Disc 2

Good Canadian boys double dipping their loyal fan base? Say it ain't so...
