Red3angel Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Does anyone have 2112 in their top three albums ?And if you do where does clockwork angels fall in your list? Edited April 13, 2018 by Red3angel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas King Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 2112 is the second Rush classic after Moving Pictures and it's a landmark record for a band. It is my top 5 Rush album, due to a side-long title track. 2112 is probably my all-time fave Rush song. I'm not a big fan of side 2 of 2112 because I don't find it very strong and memorable (but I have to admit that Passage to Bangkok and Something for Nothing rock though).

Segue Myles Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 2112 is a top ten Rush song for me, and personally I think its the bands masterpiece. However...some oldies here will spank me with a frozen whale gizzard for saying this but...side 2 is basically a collection of farts set to music. 2112...if only it had Hemispheres second side... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) I've yet to buy 2112. I feel like if I do I'll ruin the Mystique. Edited April 13, 2018 by edhunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It is definitely not a top three album for me. It's not their best epic, it's not even second. Tears is boring. Something for Nothing is fantastic and 2212 is certainly their most important song- it kept them in the game after all, but it isn't in my top three. Based on that answer I assume my opinion of CA isn't relevant, but I will say it's better than 2112. It is also not top three, though. I should add that I love both albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 my "official" ranking 1. AFTK2. PeW2.5 MP2.75 Signals3 2112 so yes, it's in my top three ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Nope. the title track is great (though not their best epic, IMO( but i really don't like side 2 all that much. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 2112 is top 5 for me. (No album can break my top three of PW, MP, and Signals) I fully appreciate side 2. Surprised so many dismiss it. CA flies headlong into my top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 2112 is tied with Caress of Steel for fourth place for me; following AFTK , Moving Pictures, and Fly By Night. (I'm pretty much old school! :P ) CA is in my ever shifting top 10 somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas King Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 CA is probably ranked #9 in my book, after PeW, Hemi, AFTK, MP, 2112, COS, P/G and Signals, in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 It is my favourite Rush album. Not because it is their best work overall, but by the time it came out I was a total fanatic for the band and played it non-stop. It just evokes the best Rush memories for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Top five album for me and the title track is my second favorite Rush song. I love side 2 too. Clockwork Angels comes in around 14th. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I actually really like APtB and S4N, but 2112 is probably no higher than my 5th or 6th favorite album by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I rate 2112 4th. CA is probably about 9 for me. While I certainly prefer side 1, I dig side 2. Lessons would be pretty high on my 'underrated Rush songs' list. But I do typically skip Tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
