I think your list is the farthest away from my list that I've ever seen. We must be listening to two entirely different bands. tongue.gif

laugh.gif I just read your list. We do have Hemispheres in common at least.

Ok, if we ever hang out, we're listening to Hemispheres. trink39.gif

Perfection

 

1.) Permanent Waves

2.) Moving Pictures

3.) Signals

 

Each song on these albums is a classic. It's quality all the way through. They are three of the finest rock albums ever made

 

Awesome!

 

4.) A Farewell to Kings

5.) Hemispheres

6.) Power Windows

7.) Grace Under Pressure

8.) 2112

9.) Snakes and Arrows

10.) Counterparts

 

These albums are very strong efforts with great material...but not every song is a classic

 

Very Good

 

11.) Fly By Night

12.) Vapor Trails

13.) Test For Echo

14.) Rolls The Bones

15.) Presto

 

These albums have some songs that are essential to the Rush catalog, but the quality falls off on some of the other tracks

 

Good

 

16.) Caress of Steel

17.) Hold Your Fire

18.) Rush

 

There are no bad Rush albums, but these three don't hold up to the rest of the catalog. Each album has a gem or two on them, but the quality on the rest of the album isn't as high as their other work.

I don't get the hate for this album either - it rocks and it's awesome. yes.gif 1022.gif 2.gif

Maybe, but it doesn't really have the qualities for why we love Rush. It's like a different band.

 

I'd listen to Roll the Bones over it any day.

I like "Rush" a lot more than I used to. Sometimes, it's nice to get back to the basics.

 

Recently, I posted a youtube link to "Before and After" on Facebook. It's my favorite tune on the first Rush album.

Who's this "we?" I'm part of "we" and I love it, so it does have some of the qualities of why I love Rush.

As far as I'm concerned, Neil is only 33% of the band. Rush made good music even before he joined. My opinion of course.

Just because it's on the bottom of the list doesn't mean ya hate the album. I couldn't hate any Rush album. I'd rather listen to 2.gif over just about 99.9% of all the albums out there. It's just not as good as their other material. I don't know why that has to equate to hate? confused13.gif

Exactly, I like every Rush album. But when making a relative list, obviously something has to go near the bottom.

 

I graded 'Rush' a C, but in actuality it's probably more of a B- or a B when compared to other bands albums.
