Rush Albums (un Hi-jackable)

I'm always shocked by how low people rate their debut. Easily their most underrated album. Yeah it's nowhere near as lyrically complex as they would get, and obviously there's no Neil, but John Rutsey was no slouch, and it's such a fun hard rocking album with killer energy and guitar solos aplenty. Oh well, I'll never convince the non-believers. tongue.gif

I said it before and Ill say it again. I miss this finale, and the energy, and the hands over the head, and the happiness that always surrounded this simple rocking song.

 

 

Rock on.

 

And as always - dont miss magic yellow shirt guy at 0:19!

It's fun but ultimately kinda boring. It's fine for what it is, raunchy bar music, but it's just not quite Rush to me. I do love Finding My Way, though, the best song Led Zeppelin never wrote.

I've been watching you dude! Love you put VT at the top. What balls! But I'm curious about your thoughts on Presto and the first four albums.

No redeeming qualities whatsoever.  We're talking colder than ice caves a mile beneath the surface of the North Pole.  Liquid nitrogen...

Oh thats far too harsh Goobs, leave VT alone 1287.gif

What Steevo said! Ease up rushgoober. That's cool if you don't like it but DAMN! laugh.gif

Well everyone's being honest and I am too - Sorry, that's how I feel! Maybe I had a little TOO much fun being as descriptive as I was. tongue.gif

 

Hey, at least I don't feel that way about any other Rush album... unsure.gif

I admit taking a little too much extra glee in my dislike of VT. I really do love Rush.

Actually, as far as the most hot, we were very close. I'd just bump Signals down a tier as its a 50/50 and put 2112 in its place tongue.gif That period was an incredibly giddy run though - agreed!! trink39.gif

One thing I've always found fascinating, and I've seen a LOT of threads on TRF over the years where people rate all the albums in order of most to least favorite, is I've never seen anyone with a list that was the same or even almost identical to mine. It's just interesting is all...

I've been watching you dude! Love you put VT at the top. What balls! But I'm curious about your thoughts on Presto and the first four albums.

Presto - I love about half of it. Show Don't Tell, The Pass, Available Light, Scars & Red Tide are top shelf, but it also contains alot of what I consider average Rush songs in Presto, Chain Lightning, Superconductor War Paint & Anagram. Too many average to poor songs, therefore it rates near the bottom of the pack for me.

 

Rush - I have real little interest in this record aside from Working Man.

Fly By Night - l love Anthem & By-Tor. BB&B is ok. Nothing else moves me.

Caress of Steel - Bastille Day, Necro & In The Valley are decent, but I do not love this record by any means.
