Weakly Criminal Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Too early to say really. Top ten would be very strong. Edited July 17, 2012 by Weakly Criminal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 4-7 initially. Maybe top 3 with time. I'm in love with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 4-7 at the moment. Time will tell if it falls or climbs. Surely top 10!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 QUOTE (Silas Lang @ Jul 17 2012, 02:41 AM) 9 or 10 This is where I am. I've been re-working my Rush album ranking list. I have #1-4 and #11-19 pretty well figured out, but those albums in the middle from #5-#10 keep moving around - slippery little suckers! Anyway, right now I'm deliberating whether CA gets a #9 or a #10, but that's where it lies for me as of now, and that's really a pretty great ranking IMHO consider the albums I have listed above it.

GeddyLeeRoth Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Its gotta stand the test of time, and I believe it will. Unless they release a better album than CA, its unlikely it will ever drop from my top 10, but I don't know if it will climb much higher either. 1. Moving Pictures 2. Hemispheres 3. 2112 4. Permanent Waves 5. A Farewell To Kings 6. Grace Under Pressure 7. Power Windows 8. Fly By Night 9. Signals 10. Clockwork Angels 11.

Tombstone Mountain Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Clockwork Angels bows to no other album. It is the equal to the best Rush has ever produced. It is a distillation of greatness. This is 2012 and the band has produced another timeless piece of musical treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 #5 for me right now. It will probably slip a little as time passes, but I think it is likely to remain in the top ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush-O-Matic Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Too early for me to tell if it cracks my top ten. But, then, I hate ranking albums anyway. What I am most likely to put in the CD player for the whole album differs from what I might choose to favorite songs from. (I think Permanent Waves may be one of the most perfect albums of all time, but if I only got to have one on an island, I'd take Hemispheres just for LVS.) Permanent Waves Hemispheres Signals Rush Moving Pictures A Farewell To Kings Presto 2112 Caress of Steel Grace Under Pressure Power Windows Clockwork Angels - the last four probably get juggled the most. In 5 years, I can see CA potentially moving its way up. CA is definitely my favorite from the last 20 years, which is pretty impressive for how long Rush has been together.

Yeah, anything in the ballpark of top ten is pretty remarkable. For me it's not quite there yet, but in the fullness of time it may just crack my top ten. But my top eight (the Lee/Lifeson/Peart/Brown albums) are pretty unassailable.

anchorman Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm glad to see Grace Under Pressure being listed in people's Top 10. It may be Alex's second best record. He was absolutely fantastic on it. Alex's top work was on Hemispheres. It would be nice to hear him play an acoustic nylon string (Spanish guitar) guitar again. He's very good at it.

ILSnwdog Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 My top 8 consist of everything from 2112 through Power Windows. That would put CA at #9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gedneil Alpeart Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 So far, close to 80% say top ten material. Remarkable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Clockwork Angels is definitely in my Rush Top 10, but I can't say exactly where because I find it so difficult to compare outstanding to amazing to incredible to magnificent to brilliant etc., as you must do when comparing the top 10 Rush albums. The closest I can come is three lists, each presented here chronologically: Listen to most often: 2112 A Farewell To Kings Hemispheres Permanent Waves Grace Under Pressure Snakes And Arrows Clockwork Angels Listen to a lot: Fly By Night Moving Pictures Signals Vapour Trails Don't listen to very often: Everything else The albums on the "don't listen to very often" list are albums that I'm somewhat less familiar with because they didn't really compel me when I acquired them during my first journey of discovery through Rush's catalogue. They all have at least a song or two on them that I like, and lately I've been thinking about revisiting them to see whether I feel differently about them now, or whether I may have overlooked any songs that I might fall in love with.

anchorman Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm shocked at how many people put HYF in the top 10. My guess is that HYF may have been the CD that got those listeners to become new fans. It is easily my least favorite Rush CD. Roll The bones would be the next least favorite. Don't get me wrong, there are a handful of songs from those CD's that I like but for the most part..... I'd keep: Force 10 Time Stand Still Prime Mover High Water Tai Shan Bravado Roll The Bones Where's my thing ? Ghost of a Chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I just really like HYF. To be honest, I hated it when it came out and it took me a couple of years to appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
