lerxt1990 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Aug 31 2009, 11:00 PM) 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. 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! http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/wallpaper/ASOHcrowd2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, I'll never convince the non-believers. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just bump Signals down a tier as its a 50/50 and put 2112 in its place That period was an incredibly giddy run though - agreed!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

toddnbeth Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hot: Caress of Steel (The most underrated album IMO) 2112 Hemispheres Permanent Waves (My favorite album) Moving Pictures Power Windows Feedback (I know, I know...I cant help it...but I love this album) Snakes and Arrows Warm: Rush-mostly because it brings back good HS memories for me Fly By Night A Farewell To Kings (very close to "hot") Signals Grace Under Pressure Power Windows (also on my "hot" list-it was too close to call) Hold Your Fire Test For Echo (recently started appreciating this album) Vapor Trails Cold: Presto Roll The Bones Counterparts (I know that there is alot of love for this album, but for some reason, no matter how hard I try, I just cant get in to it at ALL).
