I honestly don't care much for the rest, they could be ranked in the random order.

But I am sure that awful Vapor Trails is distant last in my book of Rush albums.

19. Signals

What's wrong with Signals?

 

 

 

I'm curious about this too, but probably because Signals was one of my first Rush records and I dig the whole thing. What doesn't work for you about it? :)

I am sure there is nothing wrong with it I just don't like it at all.

 

Two great songs aside.

^ Ranking AFTK with those others at the bottom cracks me up. Not that I have a problem with it, I just find it funny that we all have such different tastes like Segue putting Signals at the bottom.

 

Neil de Grasse Tyson (if I got the name right) had tweeted that we need a county called "Rationalia" (I think that was it) inhabited by rational, reasonable people who would all agree on the rational and reasonable thing. I mean it must be obvious, right? (That last bit was sarcasm). He's a good physicist I guess (makes for good tv anyway), but he needs to read up on epistemology. IOW, I think it's normal that reasonable people will always have different perceptions. If not so, there would be only one school of economics, and these Rush lists would be dull in their sameness.

:goodone:

 

I am puzzled by the intense popularity of AFTK. Other than a cool album cover, Xanadu and Closer to the Heart, I find it to be a very ambitious but clumsily executed effort. On the other hand, I absolutely love Caress of Steel and Presto. so there you go.

Looks like the album-ranking thing is done about once a year, which isn't all that often. For long time TRFers, have your rankings shifted in any of these polls?
