Somebody vote for Hold Your Fire....please, please

[Pags]

I have to go with Roll The Bones. My two favories things: Skulls, and dice!! To this day, I still can't get over that cover! It's awesome!

[My_Shrimp_Cot]

lets see...its between the kid kicking the skull, that owl one and....the bunny...can't choose yet..

[Pags]

Oh!! - It's also my favorite Icon in this forum. Restless Young Rushmantic. That, and The Professor.

 

I tried to edit the earlier post, but apparently I no longer have permission to edit.

[RushRevisited]

Exit...

[GhostGirl]

2112...it just says RUSH to me. I love most of them, but that's the classic.

[Slaine mac Roth]

This was a difficult choice:

 

The vibrant colours of Fly By Night

The eye-searing psychedelia of Feedback

The groan inducing puns of Moving Pictures

The career retrospective of Exit...Stage Left

The striking quality of 2112

The beautiful simplicity of Hold Your Fire and Counterparts.

The mood of Roll the Bones

The dragon of Rush in Rio.

 

In the end, I had to go with Hugh Syme's wonderful surrealism on P/G

 

[Digital Man]

Another vote for Exit...Stage Left.

 

I really like the references to all the earlier albums.

 

2112 is a very close second for the same reason GG gave above.

[Jack Aubrey]

'Moving Pictures'. For the puns.

 

[esmeralda]

2112 for me.I think this is the greatest.

grace has always been my favorite cover, have had that poster framed on my wall for 20 years, god am i that old? as far as overall packaging I have to say i love the whole concept of counterparts in form as well as execution, it's also a killer album, i think it's where the music started getting more emotional, great feel along with technical amazement

Welcome to the board!!

[The Notorious B.S.G.]

Roll the Bones is mighty cool. But I also like ATWAS, for it's simplicity, and promise of excitement. And P/G is my wallpaper on my PC, so obviously, I like it, as well.

[Moonraker]

MP here. I thought it was very clever putting pictures that were moving on an album titled "Moving Pictures: . Runner up for me was Grace Under Pressure.

[circumstantial tree]

I've always thought "Signals" was the best. The "down-to-earthness" of it is strikingly different than the "scapes" of previous and post album cover art. The striking black, white, red, and green colors against that beige border.

 

Kudos also go to Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves, ESL, Hold Your Fire, and Test for Echo.

 

I like Grace Under Pressure as a painting but not as an album cover.

[yyzyy]

Gunna go with Roll the Bones...for a couple of reasons...but the first being the backdrop of 'RUSH' written with dice and the background being 3's because of the 3 members of Rush...Lerxst Dirk and Pratt !!!

[Presto45]

I am going to go with Test For Echo, well for one thing its a Rock Statue in the snow. And it just looks cool with the sky and all.

Same for me GG. 2112 gets my vote. It's also my favorite album I was lucky to find a shirt and buy it a few weeks ago. The Rush Classic Album Cover Collection. I got 2112, Moving Pictures, and Fly By Night. All good albums. Just thought I would share that with you.

[DoubleAgent420]

There's just something about the Grace Under Pressure cover that really grabs me. Totally cool, and somewhat elegant in my opinion.

I could have gotten that one as well, but I liked the others better. I'll probably get that one sooner or later. Just a matter of time
