YYZumbi Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The two maybe most successful albums Rush have ever made.... which one is the best one? Permanent Waves or Moving Pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 I think this is a really hard one.... but I think I will go for Permanent Waves, because of Natural Science and Freewill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Moving Pictures transcends the Rush fan base. Like a lot of "classic" albums, I never ever get bored by it. Side one - is it the greatest ever? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 PeW does not have Tom Sawyer, win to the Waves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 PeW does not have Tom Sawyer, win to the WavesI'm trying to wrap my brain around this reasoning. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I love both dearly, but Moving Pictures gets my vote because…well, because…I don't know. It just does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 This is so tough for me. I have to give the nod to Permanent Waves, but both albums are absolutely phenomenal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Moving Pictures, though it's pretty close. Apart from Natural Science, the songs on Moving Pictures stick with me more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) PeW by the slimmest of margins. Natural Science is my all time favorite Rush song, so I've got to go with Waves. Maybe SJG can tell me what was going on in my life to make it so. Edited March 8, 2015 by laughedatbytime 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I love both dearly, but Moving Pictures gets my vote because…well, because…I don't know. It just does.It is more perfect. I don't think I like it better, but I can admit that it is their all-around most perfect effort. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Permanent Waves, and it's actually not that close for me lol. Permanent Waves is #3 on my list and MP is like...#11 or 12. Still a great album of course Edited March 8, 2015 by Geddy's Soul Patch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 i love them both to death but Moving Pictures is longer so there's more to enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I voted for Permanent Waves, but it was in no was a diss of Moving Pictures. The edge PW has for me is very small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driven_to_xanadu Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Virtually even for me, I'll give Waves the nod though. I'd rather listen to Freewill, Entre Nous and Natural Science over Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta and Limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 For me its like choosing between Holy Grail and Life of Brian. They are both excellent for different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Whatever the result, these two albums are the absolute peak. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
