Overall Favorite Rush Album

[len(songs)]

Feedback is still overrated

[Segue Myles]

My number one album is a five way tie:

 

In order of release (all 10/10):

 

Caress Of Steel

A Farewell To Kings

Moving Pictures

Grace Under Pressure

Hold Your Fire

 

I cannot choose just one from this list. I just can't.

 

Runner up in second (or sixth) place:

 

Hemispheres (9/10)

 

And third (or seventh):

Presto (8.5/10)

 

Eighth:

2112 (8/10)

 

Ninth:

Vapor Trails (8/10)

 

Tenth:

Power Windows (8/10)

 

Eleventh:

Signals (7.5/10)

 

Twelth:

Permanent Waves (7/10)

 

Thirteenth:

Clockwork Angels (6.5/10),

 

And then the rest fend for themselves. But these thirteen are great.

A Farewell To Kings...

[Cygnus 2112]

Caress Of Permanent Waves in a Farewell Signal to Hemispheres.

[Cygnus 2112]

Caress Of Moving Waves in a Farewell Signal to Hemispheres.

I voted for Hemispheres a couple of years ago but sometimes it is Signals

[Cygnus The God Of Balance]

This was TOUGH!!! I love Hemispheres

[Entre_Perpetuo]

AFTK

 

...

Yes, AFTK most definitely.

 

After that I had a list, but recently obtaining the nineties era CDs as well as FBN and CoS has thrown that list out of whack until further notice.

[Ardent15]

Had to go with Moving Pictures...every single song a classic, to me.

 

Agreed!

[lakai]

Power Windows, the sound is amazing, the lyrics great, it touched me all in all

[CJW]

Permanent Waves

[JohnRogers]

Permanent Waves

Your taste is impeccable my friend.

[robertjames1971]

I wanted to change my vote to Clockwork Angels, but the poll is a little dated. I'd say we should update it, but let's wait until the next album comes out.

[DistantEarlySignals]

Mine is Snakes and Arrows, but the poll isn't updated..so...

[TheWatchMaker97]

Permanent Waves.

[Babycat]

All of them?

[Ged Lent's sis]

How much time ya got for my answer?

[Red Sector B]

A Farewell to Kings.

[Red Sector B]

Rush is one of those bands that is hard to pick only one great favorite album as their entire body of work contains excellence throughout...i can't really picka fav album but i do have a fave period and that was the early 80's from PW to signals....

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

[prolix]

Permanent Waves. The 1,2 punch of Spirit of the Radio and Freewill is unbeatable, and the rest of the album is stellar.

I don't remember what I voted for, but I cannot disagree with your assessment. On a related note: http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/95490-best-song-ending/

Time has changed me

[Blue J]

Permanent Waves and Hold Your Fire. I can't choose any fewer than those two.

 

And that leaves out a ton of other astonishingly good Rush albums. But...there it is.

[Derek19]

I've said this on, and in three other similar threads as this, which is I think it's hard to pick a personal favorite Rush compact disk, and album because they are great, unique, and reflect in each of our lives differently.

[NetBoy2112]

Power Windows, for the sheer nostalgia.

It's the first album I ever bought.
