I was going for Hemispheres but I voted for Signals. I like like Alex's sound on that album.

 

Is there guitar on that album? I hadn't noticed.

I liked your post, because I know what you are saying, you big lug! But there is a ton of guitar on Signals. It's just all drowned out by the synth.

I know, but it was hard to capture that in a pithy way.

I was leaning towards A Farewell To Kings - Alex really came into his own on that album, with classical, 12 string, and the incredible atmosphere his volume swells and echo gave Xanadu ... It's also before he became obsessed with chours, as he still retains his raw sound ( which I love )

 

But the heck with that - the DEBUT is what, without fail, makes me say "holy shit, he's inspired"

All Rush albums have impressive guitar work, so for me to vote for one particular I will go buy best leads (impo). I was torn between Permenant Waves and Hemispheres. Permenant waves is the sentimental choice for me and Hemispheres is my new love, but I think Permenant Waves songs have better leads with the exception of Entre Nous. Funny thought just popped in my head with the two are so close together but so completely different but share certian similarities. EG; the riff in Cygnus Book X-1 II Prelude vs the opening riff of Free Will and each have a song with no lead included in the bridge Entre Nous vs Circumstances, and Natural Science is a prog rock classic of epic proprtions as is all of Hemisperes. Ok I am starting to drive me self crazy oops too late :crazy: :wacko: Edited by Crimsonmistymemory

PeW for me.

 

Love the solos in TSoR, Freewill and NattySci the most. JL has a killer solo too

 

Permanent Waves is one of my two favorite Rush albums. The guitar work, the production, the overall sound...just killer.

Folks will think I am nuts but so be it. Since the poll isn't public just think to yourselves "what @sshole voted for the Debut?"...

 

I will agree that the riffs on the debut album are just killer- Finding My Way, What You're Doing, Working Man, Before and After, Here Again...and call me crazy, but I just love Take a Friend. I don't know why that one doesn't get noticed more.

 

I love Take a Friend as well. My favorite next to Here Again and Working.
