New World Kid Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Moving Pictures. At their peaks, they're equals. But Permanent Waves has Jacob's Ladder, a song which I've always found to be about 3 minutes too long. The riffs are played overandoverandoverandover. I get it, we're supposed to be toking up while you do that, but I don't have anything available, so it just sounds redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silas Lang Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's really splitting hairs to say definitively which is better. Most of Permanent Waves' songs are among my personal favorites so I give it the top spot but MP is right there with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush Cocky Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I went with Permanent Waves for the simple reason that there would not have been a Moving Pictures without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't care for it generally I liked the lyrics initially, but after seeing it live it did become epic and one of my favorites. It was towards the top of my list before, but moved up considerably after this past tour. As said many times, by many people, that's the beauty of this band, so much for everyone.

Gilbertk Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Moving Pictures. The back half of that album alone beats out PW in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Voted for PW because it is the underdog. Both albums are perfect. Its very hard to decide between the two. I think Jacob's Ladder and Natural Science decided it for me. And SOTR, that song makes me mark out every time I hear it. MP may have Camera Eye and Tom Sawyer, but Witch Hunt kills it for me. I just never could get into that song. Its not bad, it just doesn't seem to fit to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertk Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 QUOTE (SunlightOnChrome @ Oct 10 2011, 04:45 PM) I have to vote PW. As a Rush fan I'm a non-conformist. The popular choice would be MP, therefore I am forced to vote for PW. Plus, it has TSOR. You filthy hipster you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) These and Hemispheres are my three favorite albums...11 of the songs on these two records are in my top 25...and 10 make up half my top 20. I voted for PeW, which alternates with Hemispheres as my favorite Rush album (and favorite album of all time). Ranking the songs.... 1. Nat Sci 2. YYZ 3. Freewill 4. Red Barchetta 5. TSOR 6. Entre Nous 7. Vital Signs 8. Witch Hunt 9. Limelight 10. Jacob's Ladder 11. The Camera Eye (I bet I'll catch flak for having this so low, but look at the competition!) 12. Tom Sawyer 13.
