9/4 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 It will take me a while to come up with my full list, but Permanent Waves is certainly among those tied for 1st place. I just listened to it, and decades after first hearing it, I consider it to be as close to perfection as an album can get. Off the charts in every dimension, and it all comes together to create a masterpiece for the ages. This is the sort of album that made Rush seem like gods in the minds of their fans.

TheGhostRider Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Very hard to rank the albums as they have so many good ones and there really is no such thing as a "Bad" RUSH Album. But here's my attempt at doing so: 1) Hemispheres2) 21123) A Farewell To Kings4) Clockwork Angels5) Moving Pictures6) Permanent Waves7) Signals8) Grace Under Pressure9) Fly By Night10) Power Windows11) Snakes And Arrows12) Counterparts13) Vapor Trails14) Hold Your Fire15) Caress Of Steel16) Test For Echo17) Roll The Bones18) Presto19) Rush Keep in mind, I love all the albums and none of them are bad by any means. Some of them are just better than others. Edited March 14, 2020 by TheGhostRider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherman Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'm new here. I'm also a guitarist who cut his teeth on Alex Lifeson's parts nearly 30 years ago.Please let me point out that this is an impossible exercise. I vote that we instead vote on our favorite Rush era. Here's my breakdown of the 6 major eras: 1) Finding Their Way/Beginnings2) High Prog (you know the albums)3) AOR Success (Perm Waves to Signals)4) High Synth (GUP to HYF)5) Refinding Their Balls (Presto to TFE)[Peart break]6) Heavy Old Man Rock My vote: Refinding Their Balls is the best era. Here's why: a) Presto - nearly every track is polished and strong and classy. What a smart album. I could do without the step-up modulation in Superconductor, but that's quibbling. It's one of their strongest, most accessible albums. In a just world it would've enjoyed the same success as Moving Pictures. b) Roll the Bones - half the songs are wonderful, other half are warm trash. Wish they could have recorded it with more bottom end.c) Counterparts - gets better with time, I like it more now than in 1993. At least 7 songs are really terrific. d) Test For Echo - I only included it because I couldn't fit it in any other era, would prefer to forget it Nobody asked, but here's my other opinions: - To my ears now, Finding Their Way (Era 1) is too derivative, and High Prog (Era 2) while accomplished is annoying. Don't kill me for saying that. I play most of Lifeson's parts from this era, and yes, a lot of it is annoying and self-indulgent. Learning them gave me chops, but to this day nobody has ever complemented me on my note-for-note rendition of the first 3 movements of La Villa Strangiato, ya know? - High Synth (Era 4) wanted to be better than it was; there's some good tunes scattered amongst the forest of thin keyboards, such as Afterimage or Lock and Key or the interplay of Alex with Neil's drum pattern in Mystic Rhythms. But those were exceptions in the era. - Heavy Old Man Rock (Era 6) is what it is. They were coasting at that point. Can't blame them. - AOR Success (Era 3) was terrific and the only reason I put it below Era 5 is that I'm tired of listening to Perm Waves and Moving Pictures so much. lol Anyways, thoughts? Love to hear different opinions, esp from fellow musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnoble Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Since Neil wasn't in the band yet I consider not counting the debut album as a "real" Rush album for these types of lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
