Texas King Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 No Permanent Waves and no Moving Pictures in this poll! Those two albums are somewhere in between. Pick a side between these two. If you're undecided you have also "tie" as the option. For me prog/hard rock era all the way, though I dig synthy stuff, except HYF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I posted a similar poll a few months ago. However, I broke it up into about six different eras. The overwhelming majority chose the prog rock era though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I love both eras ALMOST equally, but the Synth/New Wave era wins by a slight hair.Or maybe an Oberheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 TIE! I would take the PROG ERA over the SYNTH ERA in a New York Minute! God I hate that Don Henley song! Anyway, I admit when I was just a teen Analog Kid I hated "Signals." But I learned to love it all. I'm a RUSH whore I suppose. I love everything up to Counterparts.

Lucas Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I've listened to Hemispheres 5x all the way thru in the past 24 hours I've listened to Hold Your Fire once all the way thru since it was released There's your answer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate2112 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Rush in the 80s is what made me fall in love with them. If I want prog I usually don't go to Rush first. I have Van der graaf generator, porcupine tree, gentle giant and the like for that. I think the atmosphere and dynamics of the later 80s material (Power Windows + Hold Your Fire) are some of the best stuff I've ever heard in that department. If I want heavy, I don't go to Rush. I'm a black metal fan and musician, so the early Rush isn't my go to for it. Same with prog. I felt like Rush hit their prime in the 80s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diatribein Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I would take ANY synth era album over any prog era album. The closest match is between A Farewell To Kings and Signals; I still like Signals more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad to hear you know who Van der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant are. :P How about Camel? Although I disagree for myself personally since I'm a big prog fan and actually like that era of the band I do respect your opinion. I think the eighties era is very interesting and enjoyable. Unfortunately at the time they lost a lot of their older fans. I suppose you could say the same about Yes and Genesis though. For some reason Rush will always be to many(if not most)a hard rock or semi metal band which is a shame because as well all know there's more to the band than just their heavy elements.

grasbo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Big thumbs up for Van Der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant although they could be difficult at times and Camel I just love.The Snow Goose is lovely .Andy Latimer is a very underrated guitarist.

yyz Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Most definitely the Prog era. Also, I haven't posted in about 10 years. Hello again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I listen to Signals, P/G, PoW and HYF a hell of a lot more than FBN, COS, 2112, AFTK and yes even Hemispheres. A hell of a lot more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
