Hiya everyone.

I voted for Power Windows. A tough choice between it, Presto, Hemispheres, and Signals, but in the end memories won it over. It reminds me of my first post high school girlfriend, and 14 years on, they are still pleasant memories. (Although, it was a terrible time...remember being 17? urgh!)

Heh heh I know what you mean - bitter sweet memories at that age.

 

Welcome to the board!!!

An extremely difficult choice.

 

Uhm.

 

2112

[ChefEllwood]

I'd have to pick "Moving Pictures" because I think it is the most complete, all around album RUSH ever did. My only pet peeve with this album/era, is that a lot of people jumped on the bandwagon. RUSH were the "flavour of the month" album, and tour wise.

I like a lot of the older stuff as well, (FBN, COS, 2112, FTK, PW). I also love the first live album, "All the World's A Stage", (the energy, and raw power on that disc is incredible).

I also love RTB, and I think "Presto" is pretty under-rated. Damn, this is a tough question for an older fan !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[superconducter]

power windows is my fave cuz its very political in content and if a democrat is like our labour party you could say im right wing

[i worship rush]

for me it was easily Moving Pictures though Hemispheres is awesome.

I voted for Fly By Night. It was a hard choice between this, 2112 and Moving Pictures. The tie breaker ended up being the amazing cover art.

 

BTW, I'm new here. Hello all!!

[TuBIGrob]

I had to Vote for Signals with counterparts and moving pictures also Test for Echo

all a close second. In my CD player now is counterparts. My late teen years Signals Kept me Sane "I think" Countdown is a song that will pump me up like The Sprit of Radio.

This is my first post here.

 

I couldn't decide between 2112, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures so I went with Vapor Trails. After the Rush albums of the '80s and '90s, I found the heavy sound created by so much guitar and no keyboards very refreshing. There are plenty of Rush songs that I really like from the '80s and '90s -- especially Roll the Bones and Bravado -- but, musically, I like VT more.

I myself voted 2112 - It kicks my ass every time I put it in. However, in my player right now is a gem that I wanna see who else has... "Echoes on the Stage" (the soundboard rehearsal sessions). Anyone else here have this? What do you think of this?

Great choice. In addition to Vapor Trails sounding so heavy that it puts many if not all of the hard rock acts out today to shame, it also has a level of emotion and passion in it that they havent expressed in a long while. It really sounds like Neil is digging into himself to try to pull out ideas not even for the music, but simply to help heal himself from his ordeal. That takes so much energy and focus to be able to turn yourself around and be able to turn your feelings extrovertivly into music. I have an incredible amount of respect for that record simply that it was made.

 

And welcome to the board

 

Oh, I also have Echoes on the Stages as well, there are some very good moments in it that you hear Geddy stop singing the lyrics and focus solely on the music. It is very interesting to hear the music like this as it gives a new perspective for the listener. I very much enjoyed the R30 overture on this tour for that reason as well. Especially during Finding My Way and A Passage To Bangkok, the music was able to speak for itself.

I voted Grace Under Pressure. I find myself listening to this one most. I'm currently on a Counterparts kick...

 

All the 80's albums rock. I'm enjoying the new DVD RIR now...

I find it impossible to answer this question. As with so many others out there, different albums wind up captivating my attention at different times. It becomes an endless cycle throughout all of their albums. As of this past couple of weeks, I can't get T4E out of my CD player - Time and Motion has got me and won't let go. Who knows which one is next? Edited October 14, 2004 by paganoman
