Snakes has the early lead.

 

Yeah, gotta go with Snakes. T4E, HYF and Presto received some consideration, but each of those albums have a few good songs that still hold up. Only the two instrumentals on Snakes get consistent repeat listens from me.

Someone voted for A Farewell to Kings!

I don't accept the contention that one of the albums is worthless, but the worst album they released is the eponymous debut, by far.

 

Unquestionably the weakest lyrically, and by far the least interesting musically.

 

If it was all they had ever done I doubt I'd own it. That said, the musical chops are clearly there, and some of the songs while lyrically forgettable, really do rock and are at least fun. It's not a bad album. But it's not remotely a 'Rush' album in the sense that it may as well have been a completely different band.

The "worthless" bit is really just hype for the thread. :smoke:

The answer is definitely RTB by the way. Not worthless, but nothing I would say is wholeheartedly great, plus a bonus of a side two along through such annoying numbers as Heresy, Neurotica, and You Bet Your Life. Ghost Of A Chance isn't even that good either.

None of the albums are worthless to me...but a couple of them are trying to be :P

 

Neurotica and YBYL are on my top 10 Dislike list.

 

Ghost of a Chance nearly sinks in quicksand if it weren’t for Lifeson’s solo.

Neurotica has a really good guitar solo though. It's fierce!

That's like saying a day old, completely melted, hot, and smelly ice cream sunday still has chocolate in it. Of course it does, but I'm not going to eat it!
