Fly By Night is actually pretty good. Anthem, the title track, and By-Tor are highlights. It's a solid 7.

 

Caress of Steel is just not my cup of tea. Bastille Day is good, and Lakeside Park is growing on me…but I just can't stand the rest of it. FBN is far better.

I give my vote to Caress Of Steel. It got the first masterpiece song on it, The Fountain Of Lamneth.

 

And I give 7 points to Fly By Night

 

And I give 10 points to Caress Of Steel

I am now at a stage where I think I love Fly By Night enough to put it top five...but yeah, Caress Of Steel is a real masterpiece.

 

CoS. It's grown on me to become my second favourite Rush album.

 

I always had a major love for this album though.

Wow! Tough question! Fly By Night and Caress of Steel are both in my Top 5 Rush Albums, and are both from the same time in Rush's career. They are quite similar in many ways. But.... I had to choose Caress of Steel for the following reasons. First of all, it has a lot more "progressive-ness" than Fly By Night. Although Fly By Night started the trend with By-Tor And The Snow Dog, Carress of Steel turned it up to 11 with The Necromancer and The Fountain of Lamneth. Second of all, Caress of Steel has more of a groove to it than Fly By Night. There are many other reasons, but don't forget that I still LOOOOOVE Fly By Night, I just LOOOOOOVE Caress of Steel a tiny bit more. Both albums are rated 10 out of 10.
