Your Favorite 3 Albums by RUSH


crazygeo

Recommended Posts

Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures flip-flop between 1 and 2.

 

Number 3? Tough call... either forward to Signals, HYF, or Counterparts, or backwards to AFTK or Hemispheres.

1) Farewell to Kings - I love everything about this album - the songs, the sound from each band member (esp. Geddy's bass tone and vocals), the way that synths were tastefully used, etc. The atmosphere of this album is amazing. I never grow tired of listening to this all the way through (and yes I love Madrigal ..)

 

2) Hemispheres - Ditto everything above. Synths are expanding with the Oberheim 8-voice (hurray for polyphony!), but still used to great effect. This album f'ing rocks.

 

3) Moving Pictures - This barely beats out Permanent Waves for me. Great mix of songs and sounds. Different format/style than my other choices, but rocks just as hard.

1. Hold Your Fire
2. Signals
3. Fly By Night

"Hold Your Fire" and "Signals" stay locked in at #1 and #2, respectively.

 

#3 tends to rotate. It can either be "Fly By Night", "A Farewell to Kings", or "Moving Pictures".

 

So whichever one is #3 in a long list, then the other two rank as #4 and #5, and those two rotate as well.

Only eight people (including myself) have Permanent Waves in their top three. I am disappoint. sad.gif

1. Permanent Waves

2. Grace Under Pressure

3 changes a lot, but 1 and 2 never change

Wow..I guess I have started a pretty good and thought provoking thread.

One MUST admit that for THREE solid albums in a row

 

1. Permanent Waves

2. Moving Pictures

3. Signals

 

are some of the BEST albums ever put out in a row by a band....

 

I have been on the Pearl Jam site for years and do realize that the 2.gif fan base is full of some very strong and dedicated fans.

 

I have always said, 2.gif is in the TOP 15 BANDS of all time (60's & 70's)

Some of my other choices are......(in no particular order)

 

Beatles/Zeppelin/Rolling Stones/Who/ Pink Floyd/ The Doors/Black Sabbath/Van Halen/Grateful Dead/ Yes /ACDC /Jimi Hendrix Experience / Aerosmith / Eagles

 

And you? applaudit.gif

Signals is not on the PW/MP level and i don't understand how anyone could think it is. But I see a lot listing it in their top 3 which never ceases to amaze me. To me, it's the weakest of the first 11 albums. But hey whatever turns you on. biggrin.gif
