Yokkov Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 People are going to yell at me for saying this..... but, you should just get Chronicles, and then collect the albums as you see them around in stores and you have a few extra bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I love the way some of you are insulting the album this new listener has heard and LIKES. That's not a good way to encourage someone to get into the band! I kinda like the "let the albums find you" suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you said, "prog rock at its finest", it sounded like you were saying that Caress of Steel was Rush's best album in the genre. Maybe you really meant it. I happened to disagree.

Sark Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hey maxelkat. The first album I ever bought was Roll the Bones. I was hooked from there. After that I started collecting their 70's stuff. I say start anywhere you want. If your more into classic rock start with Rush- Farewell to Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
