There are not many albums that I would call "perfect", but for me Moving Pictures definitely falls in that category.

 

Let's hear your thoughts.

Look, it's EASY to pin-point a band's most popular record as overrated. You can do that with Kiss's Destroyer too. And let's face it, MP is Rush's most widely popular LP. Frankly it's not even close because mostly it's older diehards (and prog fans) who own 2112. MP was and remains a more widely accessible album. It's more mainstream...has shorter, more radio-friendly songs, contains their all-time most-well-known tune, etc.

 

Still and all there's often a REASON it's so widely admired beyond being a "darling." Now that may not jive with your own tastes, fine enough. You like Coke, I dig Pepsi...so be it. But I think it's generally safe to say that Moving Pictures is only overrated in your own mind, much like nice tits are overrated...or a Porsche Carrera is overrated. You're a legs man...or you dig a Maserati instead. Cool.

 

But Moving Pictures is still the bomb-digity. That's as close to FACT as it gets when discussing Rush-related "opinion." I'll stand by it too. We'll always quibble about the merits of Vapor Trails and Counterparts, but not Moving Pictures. Not really...

Like the album...quite a bit. Over-rated...for Rush, yes. Hemisphere's is under-rated. MP is a good album for Rush beginners and maybe for those who cling to their olden glory days. ph34r.gif

 

Now that I think of it, I haven't played it on over a year. huh.gif

The way I see this poll is if you think that the essence of Rush is Moving Pictures and a few albums around it, then vote "Hell no!"

 

Otherwise, I think you have to vote "yes" to this poll, because it is those few albums that get soooooo much attention; hence, they are overrated.

Exactly..! What casual or non-fan owns Hemispheres?? (Please don't name them for me...it's rhetorical). Moving Pictures, however, is often owned by the Rush-curious.
