goose Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I guess this will increase my post count. 1. AFTK2. PeW2.5. MP2.75. Signals3. 21124. CA5. PoW EP, you're no longer a teenager, so there's mo excuse for you not being able to count to 5 !! You're right, I'm no longer a teenager, and I'm in college. There are infinite ways to count to five, especially considering it wasn't specified we had to start with 1. I simply chose one of the more reasonable paths to five out of the infinity. 1, 2, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 4, 5. http://cf.mp-cdn.net/32/e0/a908efc3b781530efd8cd6d259c8-is-humanity-becoming-less-intelligent.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 1 Moving Pictures2 Permanent Waves3 Hemispheres4 A Farewell to Kings5 2112 Move Signals into Hemispheres’ slot, and then move Hemispheres into AFTK’s, and you nailed it. Signals is third to last for me, after Test For Echo and the debut. Different strokes. It’s too similar to MP and PeW, and it’s sufficiently different from what came after it and GUP, to not be considered among their best work. I do not think it is similar to Permanent Waves or Moving Pictures at all, bar Vital Signs. But he songs I enjoyed I really enjoyed this time around: SubdivisionsThe Analog KidChemistry (surprised)The WeaponLosing ItCountdown Still not a fan of Digital Man at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But now you're asking me about a quarter of a dollar. One album can not simply be construed as a quarter of an album to make it fit the framework of an argument. I'm sure you could easily convince 45% of America to buy into and vigorously defend this logic though. ������Most of the last 30 years of Rush's career consists of albums that could be construed as quarters of albums. They are considerably more enjoyable when consumed in that manner, though Presto could charitably be better compared to a dime and Snakes to a nickel.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I refuse to let 2112 out of my top 3, so I prefer to count them in that manner. Glad to see this has started a lively discussion of maths though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 1 Moving Pictures2 Permanent Waves3 Hemispheres4 A Farewell to Kings5 2112 Close... 1. MP2. Hemi3. PeW4. AFTK5. 2112 My top 3 are so close anyway. The one thing is that MP is either #1 or #2 at all times Very close but I can't ever dislodge the ridiculous perfection of MP from #1, however thrashed. Hemi and PeW have swapped #2 and #3 a few times over the years but Hemi just by a whisker for a long time now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemi and PeW have swapped #2 and #3 a few times over the years but Hemi just by a whisker for a long time now. For me, it’s like this... MP has been #1 80% of the time. Hemis has taken #1 20%. PeW has always been #2 or #3. It means Hemis has varied the most of the three but none of them has ever gone out of the top 3. This likely will never change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap to PeW is a little larger, but all 3 are still pretty close, and always at the top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I can’t think of a band who’s had 3 better albums not in a row either. The next great 3 in a row I can think of by another band would be Dark Side - Wish You Were Here - Animals. I love these 3 albums. They’re all A+ ones too. And they’re my 2nd favorite band/artist. Yet those 3 still don’t come anywhere near MP-PeW-Hemis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) S&A never got in my top 5, probably not top 10 even tbh but giving it a lot of play lately and rediscovering the maturity and variety of it all. Tracks like good news first and the larger bowl weren't anything special to me years ago but loving em now Might try slotting it into my top 5 to see what happens VTS&APoWCoSCP Lol crazee sh*t, Left Waves out which is note perfect and been my fav rush album for aeons. Also HYF not in which is just bonkers. Kinda works though, i like the idea of S&A in there, the band at their most mature i think, and love all the acoustics in it. So varied.
