I think the obvious stand out here is Xanadu..

 

This is a corking album and would have been a classic if it wasn't for the dreadful Cygnus X-1

I'm going with the flow on this one & agreeing that Xanadu is the best. What a cool story!

oh the chimes, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome xanaduuuuu. When i listen to this track i feel young ish again. When my Uncle Fred goes to a rush gig its like a broken record, he keeps shounting xanadu and thats even after theyve played it. Thank you Fred for introducing me to a little band called RUSH 23 years ago common001.gif

Cygnus X-1 RULES! I have to play Hemispheres after Cygnus X-1 now. I can't listen to Cygnus without Hemispheres afterwards. AFtK and Hemispheres are my two favorite Rush albums of the 1970s HANDS DOWN!!!

I still remember when WHJY played this album in its entirety in August, 1987 and the DJ called this A Farewell To The Kings. I then subsequently got a legitimate copy of the album and it rules!

I love this album, as it is filled with my favorites. but #1 is Cinderella Man.

 

"Doing what you can

They can't understand

What it means

Cinderella Man

Hang on to your plans

Try as they might

They cannot steal your dreams"

For me the choice was between AFTK and Xanadu.

I love how Xanadu takes me to another place so it gets the nod.

I feel like I travelled on a long journey when it ends.

This is one of my favourite albums, Xanadu is incredible, and Closer to the Heart, Cygus and the title track are great too. My personal fave though is the underrated Cinderella Man and that gets my vote!!!
