I voted PEW,MP, and Signals..3 classic lp's Edited August 4, 2011 by go2wrk@95974

[apetersvt]

My top two albums are COS and Hemispheres. Unfortunately there's not a choice encompasing both.

 

Voted for COS-2112-FTK (I see one other like mind out there so far )

 

2112-FTK-Hemi a very close second.

 

All of the albums from COS-MP are so awesome!!!!

Come on everybody, let's vote for: http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/downloads/wallpaper/T4Ecov.gifhttp://www.2112.net/powerwindows/downloads/wallpaper/VTcov.gifhttp://www.2112.net/powerwindows/downloads/wallpaper/SAcov.gif and screw up this guy's poll. It'll be fun...just like when we teepeed that mean middle school teacher's house after he gave us all that homework.

I see two problems with that - Test for Echo and Snakes and Arrows.

[teababe27]

Permanent Waves - Moving Pictures - Signals

[An Enemy Without]

[CMWriter]

I went with AFTK/Hemi/PeW for a few reasons...

 

1. I was never all that crazy about MP for personal reasons, so if it's not in the list I won't b'aww.

2. I hate having one part without the other. So I can't have Cygnus X-1: Book 2 without Book 1. (Also Xanadu is on AFTK.)

3. In terms of pure, raw, unadulterated power and musicianship, at least instrumentally in that "HOLY COW" factor, I feel PeW was the tipping point. Did they do some freaking awesome/amazing things later? Oh yeah. But those three albums were the epitome for me.

[Tinwoodsman]

lotsa good choices ... I went with CoS 2112 AFTK

[RobW]

wow, tough choice for me between:

 

A Farewell To Kings - Hemispheres - Permanent Waves

 

and

 

Hemispheres - Permanent Waves - Moving Pictures

 

but I went with

 

A Farewell To Kings - Hemispheres - Permanent Waves

 

 

[StuartBruce]

One thing this poll will show is the demographic of it's regular visitors. It is easy for us to assume that everyone here grew up in the 70's or 80's and favours works from that era.

 

Hemi-PW-MP will win I have no doubt, but I was intrigued by some of the other collections.

 

Amazing that 2112 was such a "from nowhere" album that the collections either side of it means it has received only 8 votes as yet.

Ain't that the truth

[greyfriar]

Voted No. 6

[micgtr71]

I am going to go with Hemispheres, PeW, MP, though there are times...not too often...where it would be Pew, MP, Sig.

[greg2112]

Definitely MP-Signals-Grace, because this is the stretch where I became a fan.

[IChoseFreeWill]

I put:

 

PeW- MP - Signals

 

 

Second choice would have been:

 

PoW- HYF- Presto

[J2112YYZ]

A Farewell To Kings

Hemispheres

Permanent Waves

[tontonfranck]

Presto - Roll The Bones - Counterparts

 

Don't blame me.

 

I discovered the band back in 1991 with RTB. This wasn't supposed to be my stuff at the time but it really blow (blew?) me away.

 

Then I listened to "Presto" (and "A show of hands") a few weeks after and loved it too.

At the time in my countryside I couldn't find anything else by the band so I had to wait the next album to put something else in my ears.

 

I don't want to lie but I remember well the first time I put the K7 on the player : I can't tell in english how glad I was when I bought "Counterparts". It was beyond all my expectations.

 

 

Most of you guys live in USA or canada and Rush is well known around so I don't want to be boring while talking about discovering the band 10 years after "Moving pictures".

But I really hope you all guys once felt the same emotion when you first listened to them and the same emotion when the next album blow (blew?) you away when you heard it fo then first time!

So I'm not the only one who voted for that stretch.

[The Big Money]

MP...SiG...GUP

[Lost In Xanadu]

Amazing the results, like a perfect bell curve... ramp up to the peak then ramp down.

[LerxstLuthier]

I voted Hemispheres, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures.

Those 3 records profoundly influenced who I am musically.

Not to mention there are friends of mine on those covers
