JohnnyBlaze Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 We already had a 90s Rush vs. 21st century Rush thread. Now, I'm interested in seeing how this one turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Love it all, but I mostly lean toward the modern Rush era. Especially since we're only including first 3 albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Finn Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 the first 4 > the last 4 But the first 3 vs. the last 3... can't really say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingInPrimetime Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Easy poll for me. Rush, Fly by Night, Caress of Steel = Bottom three on my list CA, SA, VT = Three best albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Rush and CA are pretty much awesome all the way through. Caress of Steel and S&A are both about 60% awesome. FBN blows VT away by a hundred million miles. The first three! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Tough one. CA > FBN > COS > Rush > VT > S&A 12 > 9 Early Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Early Rush. Caress of Steel is my favorite Rush album, and while I like Vapor Trails, it lags behind these other records, thus dragging its "team" down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriGuy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Can't see how the first three can stack up against the last three overall, considering you've got CoS in there -- the album that nearly killed the band and produced the "Down the Tubes" tour.

bluefox4000 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) I piced they last 3. Even though the sound quality is not the best I do enjoy and connect with those last 3 more. I could never get into the debut or Fly by night....just such a hard listen for me. Although, COS is fuckng great So last 3 Mick Edited June 22, 2012 by bluefox4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 This one is tough. Basing it on what songs I have on my phone. I have: 2 songs from 2 from FBN 0 from CoS 0 from VT 0 from S&A 12 from CA Although there are 12 new songs, there are 4 from 2 different old albums so I'm going frist three.

Presto-digitation Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Oh fer fecksake, the most recent three. The first three are my least favorite Rush albums...ever. Period. CA is better than any of them. You cranky old schoolers crack me up. Give me Headlong Flight over In The Mood, thanks! Give me the title track to CA over Fountain Of Cobbled Together Bit & Pieces Posing As A Song. ANY random 3 Rush albums are better than the first three.

GUP1771 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Hmm... Rush: only enjoy Working Man FBN: only enjoy title track and Bytor CoS: can't listen to anything on the album VT: very good songs, however held back by production, mixing, etc., so it's unlistenable SnA: Far Cry, Workin' Them Angels, The Main Monkey Business I really enjoy. Few others I'm working on CA: I love the entire album and it's in my top 5. (#3 currently, but time will tell where it ends up, but will be in my top 5 regardless.) Easy choice for me. CA pretty much carries the Modern era, while CoS hampers the early years. Also, I've always thought of the first 3 as being a period of the band "finding their sound", which was established at 2112. So because of this, that also holds back the first 3. Definitely the last 3. Edited June 22, 2012 by GUP1771 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 For me, easily the last 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriGuy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Another strike against the first three is Neil's absence on the first album. Don't misunderstand, I like all the albums. From the first, I can listen to Finding My Way and Working Man any day. I like a lot on Fly By Night, including the title track, Anthem, BB&B Making Memories and In the End. On CoS, enjoy Bastille Day and Lakeside Park. But up against the last three, I'd take them without a moment hesitation.
