tony990 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) 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.

Lucas Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited June 14, 2016 by Lucas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

CA's sure fell off of the top of the heap for you, didn't it? 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). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
