LedRush Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Note: 1. I have put Permanent Waves in the 1970s because every single bit of the album was done in the 1970s, and it was released on 1-1-1980. That's not an 80s album in my mind. 2. I've combined all post 2000 albums into one "decade"; it seemed to make sense to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'll go with the 1970s. Four of those albums are in my Rush top ten (including my all-time favorite in CoS) and none are in my bottom five. It's hard not to choose the 1980s. MP and Signals are both in my top three. But PoW is by far my least-favorite Rush record, and Presto doesn't help matters much. It's close. If PeW had been placed in the 1980s group... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I think I'm on solid ground for putting PeW in the 1970s, part of my reasoning was to break up the power duo of PeW and MP to make the choice more interesting and difficult.

laughedatbytime Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The presence of PeW in the 70s made this one easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K Man Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 PeW is an 80s album, so the 80s got my vote. Three of my top five (PeW, MP and PoW) and three of the other four are better than the first three from the 70s, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 MP, Signals, and GUP are 3 of my favorite albums, but PeW is my second favorite. I guess I'll have to vote for the 80's. Its a tough choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av450 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 PeW, HYF, and signals are all in my top 5. 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastille Dave Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 this one's easy: the 70's. as far as PeW goes, I have always considered it a 70's album. I go by when an album was made, not when it was released. Same thing with Van Halen's 1984, which was made in 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next question? Well that kinda spoils the friendly debate aspect of this topic. To me, a lot of rush is timeless music. Some of the 80s stuff however sounds like the 80s...but hemispheres or farewell to kings have no time definition, which to me makes them epic.

Tommy Sawyer Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If Presto was included in the 90s group (as I think it should be) I'd go for the 90s. This is though because each other group has an album I really don't like (Rush, Signals, S&A) but the three 90s albums by themselves are not good enough. I'll probably go for the 70s.
