QUOTE (ColdFireYYZ @ Jul 9 2011, 08:00 PM) Best 80's - Either Signals of Permanent Waves. I can't decide. Best 90's - Counterparts +1. Signals is the ultimate synth Rush album, but Permanent Waves is so all around good that it has to rank at least top five of all time. 90's Rush doesn't really do it for me, but Counterparts had the better songs of that decade. Power Windows rules all synth Rush albums

80s - If I have to choose one, MP but all the rest except HYF get a close 2nd and HYF ain't crap either.

 

90s - T4E hands down for me with CP 2nd.

Unless you consider Presto to be a 90s album.

Which you cannot, because it was released in 1989.

presto is an odd transition album

 

has some great tunes though

 

anyhow my favorite 80s rush album is obviously moving pictures and the best 90s one is counterparts but they all rule hard

[lerxt1990]

MP was a 70s album, despite its release date, so Im not counting that.

 

Right now Im going to choose PoW for 80s and CP for 90s, but RtB close second.

Hello again. I've recently been listening to a Rush greatest hits collection and I gotta say, I'm really loving songs from the 80s. The Body Electric, Mission, Mystic Rhythms, Marathon, Time Stand Still, Distant Early warning, Force Ten, Red Sector A. All of these songs are great. My question for you all now is: Which album from the 80's is best? I don't know if the album with the most hits is the most consistent or if the album with the most songs I like is actually the weakest. Same Question for the 90s. I love Roll the Bones, Test for Echo and Driven. Which of the 90s is the strongest? Thanks for any knowledge, guys.

80's Permanent Waves as a complete album was my favourite.

 

90's i will be honest i lost touch with Rush.

O: Never too late to get back into touch.
