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.

 

 

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?

 

Counting down to number one. Presto is definitely NOT my favorite! lol

Wow...a lot of mixed opinions about Caress of Steel I notice!

 

I didn't really like the album because I feel Fountain of Lamneth was way too long and they just made it so long to stretch the album. "I Think I'm Going Bald" was also a negative, because it didn't tell much of a story and I didn't really dig the beat. Bastille Day and Lakeside Park were good, and The Necromancer was alright, but the other two songs I don't like.

 

Thoughts?

Test For Echo and Counterparts are pretty much tied for my favorite album, though.

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

 

Why should it have been on Caress especially since it would've been on the debut if...well, I have no idea why it wasn't included there

 

I would have preferred Garden Road to have Neil on drums .. and also, I Think I'm Going Bald kills the vibe of the album

Caress of Steel is one of their most underrated works out of their career, Lamneth is a journey to me of a persons life, pure genius, I think I'm Going Bald is a goofy song with an amazing guitar solo, Necromancer is my favorite of it all, just pure awesomeness.

Top Group I love these from start to end, every time I hear them

 

Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Hemispheres, 2112, Caress of Steel, GuP, Vapor Trails, Presto, :rush:

 

Mid Group I like them a lot, but aren't my first choice to listen to

 

Power Windows, Signals, HYF, Counterparts, Snakes and Arrows

 

Bottom Tier Rarely listen to these and when I do I can easily skip tracks

 

FBN, Clockwork Angels, AFTK, Roll the Bones, T4E

The Necromancer is one of the greatest hard rock / metal / prog songs ever

 

My psychotic love for Cygnus X1 is the only thing that makes me put the "one of" in there ... The Necromancer is an incredible piece of music and represents the dawn of the greatest era in music history very very well

How awesome! This is one of the most unusual lists ever and I say that in a good way. When it comes to Rush, they are one of the only bands where there are no wrong answers. Don't think I've EVER seen a list with Hemispheres last and I salute you for having the balls(despite being female) to do it. Bravo!!!!!

I had it in there and then forgot to put it back in. I'd give it a 9.5.

I didn't really appeal to The Necromancer too much...I prefer more heavier music like Vapor Trails, so that's why I put Caress of Steel so low. The Necromancer would have been better if they took the entire first part out, but they should've just split it into three songs instead of three parts.

I didn't really like Fountain of Lamneth too much, probably because I like harder rock more. I guess it depends on what type of rock you like better, softer rock or harder rock.

Agreed. I instantly fell in love with CoS the first time I heard it. Over the three years of owning it it's become my second favourite Rush album after AFTK. It has an atmosphere that is unique and musically it's just so ambitious and I can get lost in it. Every song is a winner.

 

Strange but satisfying.

I used to hate on this album.

 

I was truly an idiot.

Hemi. It's not as much a slam dunk as it once was, but it still edges out PeW and MP.
