Snowdog Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I've been debating my answer since this thread started and I just can't choose between the 70s and 80s. If I could lump PeW and MP into the 70s, then I would be set. But I can't... so, if I have to pick, I'll take the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am I little puzzled as to the current score on the vote...if you go to the thread about "favourite albums" the three best are 2112, Hemispheres (both 70's) and Moving Pictures (OK, 80's but early 80's). Personally I have a view similar to Slaine's, every decade has its magic...but for me, with Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres and 2112 being three of my fave albums I have to stick with 70's. I agree with this post 100% Ahhhh, my first forum post. Having gone to High School in the 70's, and being introduced to Rush in '75...the answer for me is simple, the 70's.

Alas some people forget that Well, I don't see that as an unfortunate situation at all. Being discerning is a good thing, after all. And I'm truly happy that I can leave RTB in my cd-shelf to gather dust... You on the other hand should feel extremely fortunate for being able to hear it as a masterpiece. I certainly don't want all Rush, I just want the stuff that suits my ears. So there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPeartFan2112 Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I am going to have to say the 1970s. 2112, A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres makeup most of my favorite albums. The 80s was a close call though. I liked a lot of stuff during that time as well. They're all good in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the songs on it are top tracks for me. Hemispheres, Circumstances, The Trees and La Villa Strangiato. Can it get much better than that for a studio album?

The Notorious B.S.G. Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Onward and upward! I voted for the current decade because we are blessed with the accumulated material of the last 30 years, and, absent a scientific breakthrough in temporal physics, this decade holds the only hopes any of us have to see the boys again. Besides, I love all their previous eras. They each have their particular selling points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Rygar Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I had to pick the 80's. I wasn't old enough to buy albums back then (born in '78 OK!!???!) but I do remember loving songs like Subdivisions and a bunch more from Grace and Hold Your Fire. It wasn't until I got the Rush "Chronicles" collection as part of a "11 for the price of 1" deal that I truly enjoyed listening to Rush. It has now developed into a madness, yes an extreme madness, where it's just about all I put in. I can't get tired of it. They have so so many good albums, it's easy to go far and come back and everything feels new. So many of my other favorite bands I have to say "Oh yeah, put that in, it's their "Good" album. Not with Rush! But honestly, I usually hover all over the 80's stuff, Show of Hands Video is where I heard alot of my favorites for the first time. So I had to pick '80's. P.S. Anyone who would actually say that anyone who likes RTB and/or Counterparts is worthless has the "Hitler" opinion syndrome. And you see where he ended up!

nebbish Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 As it was the late 70's when I started listening to RUSH - I'll go with that! Hard choice though they're all fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
