This is the version I sing to...studio.  I can almost get Geddy Lee's highest note.  

I know every single lyric and guitar riff and drum riff (if you call 'em drum riffs...I don't know, I just play air drums on the good parts...lol) and transition from section to section...

To sing 2112 perfectly is my ultimate goal.  

Uh-oh...impending 2112 vocal attempt...alert the neighbors...close all windows...

"We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx....

Our great computers fill our hallowed halls..."

2112 is the reason I like Rush. Listen to the lyrics from start to finish...
