GeddyLeeRoth Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 These two are probably the two most revered post-Moving Pictures albums. I will withold my opinon for a bit, and see what you people think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Signals....I loved them both when they came out and played the crap out of both but Signals stands the test of time much better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 If I were ever forced to dispose of my Rush albums, PoW is the first one I'd chuck. I'd miss The Big Money and Emotion Detector, but that's about it. Signals, on the other hand, features six songs I love and is one of my three favorite Rush records. Easy choice.

Your_Lion Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Definitely Signals. Then I'd go for GUP and HYF before getting round the PoW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBob Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Power Windows. There's just too many great songs on that album. I don't how I lived with myself before hearing Marathon and Manhattan Project. Those 2 songs have been life changers for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Power Windows by a TINY margin. I just love the melodies on POW. every song is a winner to me. It has one of my all time Fav tunes in Marathon. I love Signals too. It has some of Neil's best drumming. It also has one of my Fav tunes in Losing It. What tips the scales is Countdown on Signals.....awful song, IMHO. Both Wonderful records....but POW gets the nod from me. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vigilante Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Signals has punch ... POW has nice melodies ... I like served better with alittle punch. Edited July 5, 2012 by The Vigilante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Easily Signals for me. I rarely listen to PW, or rank it high, although Territories is a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeRoth Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Interesting. Thought it would be closer, but there's only been 19 votes so far. I have to go with Power Windows. I know its more 'poppy', but the production is better and the songs are just plain better on the whole. Subdivisions is the only song I absolutely love on Signals, while I love a majority of Power Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unattractive Truth Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I said "Like them both equally". I tried to decide, but kept going back and forth. Subdivisions? Manhattan Project? Analog Kid? The Big Money? New World Man? Middletown Dreams? Both classic albums, both in my personal Rush Top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I voted that I like them both equally because there are different times when one is better than the other. PoW is a fall album for me and Signals is summer. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because of when I was introduced to them...They both are fantastic records and my favorites of the post MP era.

The Cat 3 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I hope this makes sense... I voted for Signals, because I believe that it is a better album musically. However, I happen to like Power Windows better persoanlly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYM86 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Signals by a longshot. The songs are just as catchy as the ones on Power Windows, but the entire Signals album feels like there's a black cloud hanging over it. The songs have this dark moodiness to them that I love.

The K Man Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Power Windows. Better songs, better sound, comparable lyrics (quality-wise) and just a better flow and feel. But both are great. And to play the song vs song game, which is easy since both albums have eight... Subdivisions over Big Money The Analog Kid over Grand Designs Manhattan Project over Chemistry Marathon over Digital Man Territories over The Weapon (barely) Middletown Dreams over New World Man Losing It over Emotion Detector Mystic Rhythms over Countdown PoW wins 5-3.
