Favorite Rush album?

Recommended Posts

Title is pretty self-explanatory. What's your favorite Rush album? Also, you can rank every Rush album from 1-20 if you prefer (I do!) Sorry if this topic already exists, I looked it up and didn't see it so I decided to create it myself.

 

*EDIT* Feedback isn't technically Rush, so include it if you like but the songs on that track were made by other artists.

 

 

19. Presto

18. Caress of Steel

17. Roll the Bones

16. Hold Your Fire

15. Rush

14. Fly By Night

13. Hemispheres

12. 2112

11. Signals

10. Counterparts

9. A Farewell to Kings

8. Moving Pictures

7. Power Windows

6. Grace Under Pressure

5. Permanent Waves

4. Test for Echo

3. Clockwork Angels

2. Snakes & Arrows

1. Vapor Trails

I'm confused. Are you counting down to number one, or listing your favorite on top?

I find greatness in every album. This is my current rankings. Top five seems about right, CoS has just taken on a life of its own in my heart.

I go back and forth between A Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres - it is a tough call, as Cygnus X1 will never be unseated as my favorite song, and Xanadu up there too .. I even love Madrigal ..

 

The X factor is Circumstances, as it has climbed into my Top 5 Rush songs of all time ..

 

As of now:

 

 

- Hemispheres

 

- A Farewell To Kings

 

- Caress Of Steel ( probably would be #1 if Garden Road had been on it, like IT SHOULD HAVE )

 

- 2112

 

- RUSH http://a3.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music2/v4/0b/88/9d/0b889d6e-3b96-222d-c66d-dd07083142a4/cover100x100.jpeg

 

- Permanent Waves

 

- Fly By Night

 

- Moving Pictures

 

- Signals

 

- Grace Under Pressure

 

- Power Windows

 

after that, it is what it is

I was excited after hearing the Far Cry single, but after I got the record and gave it a first spin, I was as disappointed as I've ever been on a first listen of a Rush record. I listened to it on the way to work and I was bummed all day at work as I had been looking forward to it coming out for a long time.

On TRF at the time of Snakes' release, many TRFers were hot & horny because of the few second sneak peak release of Far Cry. Cries of joys and Hemispheres' connections echoed.

 

I was bored by Spindrift. That song, in particular, sounds like they tinkered with it too much. And the Bravest Face yodeling solidified its position at the bottom of the Rush albums. It's not all bad though (Monkey, Wind Blows, Hope, & Malnar are all good IMHO)..it's just that there's a lot of bad on there for me. At its best, Snakes has been the #18 Rush album.

My favourite RUSH album is the one from 1983 that got buried in the vaults. It's called:

 

JOHNNY BLAZE IS OBSESSED WITH LEGGY SCHOOLGIRLS

:LOL:

 

Nut.

Besides, Lucas is the master of the schoolgirl pics.

 

Also, thats a bad translation of that vault album. The true title was:

"Coed Legs 'Round Yer Torso: Live"

Its a mood album. I can tell you right now I do not think it stinks.

 

Not at all.

 

But right now, I can honestly say every other album has more appeal.

 

The bottom three are normally on my bottom five, and I enjoy all three a lot (just not AS MUCH as the rest of their catalogue).

 

Although arguably I am wrong with my placement of Roll The Bones, but the last few months I have really warmed to it (especially after listening to live versions).
