barchetta90480 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Hell ... not even Moving Pictures is better than Grace Under Pressure ... (including Body Electric ... I always thought Red Lenses was the most unpopular song on GUP - both stellar tracks, anyway). With Power Windows, it's tougher. CA might at least be on par with that one, although it lacks a moment like Marathon. It has Headlong Flight, though ... To stick to the Eighties: signals is slightly better than CA, Hold Your Fire would be with a sound less dated. Presto, then, is a favourite of mine, so I'd rate it slightly above CA (and yes, I like both Anagram and Superconductor, as I love 7 out of of 12 CA songs). Just my two cents ...

GeddyRulz Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jun 26 2012, 10:29 AM) Why on earth would anyone put down GUP? As I was saying earlier, the songs aren't "bad," but neither are they very good, in my opinion. There isn't a single song on the album - not one - which makes me want to hear it... so I never play the album anymore. (It was the last album from the back catalog which I replaced with a CD; there was no urgency to get the disc just to have it sit on my shelf.) RTB, which I dislike even more than GUP overall, at least has the awesome "Dreamline." GUP has nothing I really care to hear, just a bunch of "okay" songs. QUOTE 1. Signals 2. Grace Under Pressure 3. Hold Your Fire (would be #1 or #2 if not for the last two songs) 4. Power Windows Pull your #2 and place it last, and you have my list: 1. Signals 2. Hold Your Fire (would be #1 if not for the last two songs) 3. Power Windows 4. Grace Under Pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DistantEarlyRushFan Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Interesting to see that classic is in the lead by about a 5% margin on the poll. While I tend to see PoW as a little soft, it is cool to see that you wiser fans can appreciate it. Rational fans FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE GUP has nothing I really care to hear, just a bunch of "okay" songs. I guess I'll split the difference here. I think some of GUP's tunes are among the band's very best, but I wouldn't be particularly distraught if I couldn't listen to the other few ever again. As for the synth-era album rankings, I'll go... 1) Signals (one of my favorite Rush records) 2) Grace Under Pressure (cracks the top ten) 3) Hold Your Fire (I like the last two tunes, but not Prime Mover or Turn the Page) 4) Power Windows () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I tend to see PoW as a little soft, it is cool to see that you wiser fans can appreciate it. Huh? Your assessment of the results is a bit off. At this moment, 32.35% say both "old" Rush albums are better than CA, while a total of 62.65% think CA is better than GUP or PoW or both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
