Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I voted for Hemispheres because there's simply no letup on that album. All four tracks are cool. I'm not crazy about Tears and Cinderella Man on the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will bet you that "Hemispheres" will easily win this poll. "Hemispheres" is the greatest album ever made on planet earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hemispheres by a landslide. It's everything 2112 wishes it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hemispheres. It is perfection - and La Villa is my favorite Rush song, so... no brainer here. But OP is correct - they are all 3 superb albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hemispheres is the most consistent and wins easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 A Farewell to Kings Hemispheres has the better epic if we compare the title track to Cygnus X-1, but I prefer Xanadu to La Villa slightly and A Farewell to Kings, Cinderella Man, Closer to the Heart and Madrigal easily whup The Trees and Circumstances...

Xanadoood Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hemispheres. It is the most complete album of the 3. 2112 and AFTK sound like a band who are still searching for their sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hemispheres is my favorite Rush album of all time and has been almost consistently since I first heard it almost 30 years ago. The other two are fantastic as well, but Hemispheres is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Caress Of Steel is clearly the best 70s album (or any decade for that matter). I assume that is why JB left it off of the poll. The three albums listed, however, are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th best Rush albums (not in that order). I will go with Hemispheres, but I certainly couldn't question anyone voting for any of these MASTERPIECES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clem Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I picked Kings. Never cared for the "Hemispheres" side/song. I also think side 2 of 2112 is merely o.k. (love side one, though). Clem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 No Competition there! Hemispheres has always been my favorite since the day I discovered it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barchetta90480 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Indeed ... no competition here. AFTK by far. The other two albums have a weak side each - 2112 not so much as it's saved by Something For Nothing and Bangkok, whereas Side one of Hemispheres is one of the most forgettable pieces of music Rush ever put together (still love listening to it, for it's Rush) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where AFTK loses out for me is Cygnus X-1 - really good song, but I always get a little annoyed by the narration and by Geddy's screaming at the very end - I know that might seem like minor parts of a long song, and they are, but it generally keeps me from wanting to hear the song, and I usually turn the album off prior to that. Seriously though, if you took side one of AFTK and side two of Hemispheres and smushed them together, you'd have the best album of all time by anyone.
