Sigh.......Fine. Does not change what i feel......which is AFTK Is way over-praised. It. ain't. that. gooooooo............Dah, lol

Mick

Just teasing you, Mick. We all have different music taste. :cheers:
I still think we need to do a group listen and commentary thread soon and make sure we are listening to the same thing....

Let's plan on one soon. Like tomorrow.

What shall we listen to?
I actually did go on a walk. A beautiful evening it is. A hint of humidity and nice temperatures. Anyway. AFTK's sounds good to me. Mick needs some help I feel with this one asap.... :)

OK

:o You actually like Roll The Bones better than a Farewell To Kings? :o :o :o

Can't really stand AFTK......save Xanadu.......never could.

Mick
I'm sort of with you. Xanadu, Closer to the Heart, and Cygnus X-1 are great, but the rest is…meh.

Ok since I did the 25 greatest RUSH songs I might as well get the best RUSH album out of the way. I have included live albums up until
Different Stages.....here goes.

http://www.progarchives.com/wallpapers/RUSHCOLLAGE.jpg

Grace Under Pressure
2112
Permanent Waves
Vapor Trails
Exit Stage Left
Moving Pictures....due to the song The Camera Eye
Clockwork Angels
Hemispheres
Hold Your Fire
All The Worlds Stage
A Farewell To Kings
Caress Of Steel
Signals
Different Stages
RUSH
Presto
Power Windows
Counterparts
Fly By Night
Roll The Bones
Feedback
Snakes & Arrows
A Show Of Hands
Test For Echo

I hope I didn't leave out any of RUSHs great work throughout the years.

Some changes are coming to this listing of RUSH albums as I'm going through the Sectors 1 2 3. I was so impressed relistening to Presto which will be moved up but I'll wait till Sector 3 comes in then Sector 1. Power Windows listing may also change when it gets here, it was during this album release I had a RUSH lull.

The Presto Tour was the first Rush Tour I took a young lady on a date, first girl I met who was as big a Rush fan as I was....man was she ever flexible being a gymnast.

I agree that AFTK other than Xanadu is as you say meh!

I haven't a clue. The break in that song is one of their best ever. I swear I can remember buying it first day it was out. I waited months for my first "new" release. The title track on down is pure heaven.... :codger:

Me too. I'd think HYF and Presto would be higher, though probably not top 10...

Ask and ye shall receive. Studio albums only as we should all know what my absolute favorite is by now....

A Farewell To Kings (Xanadu and a steaming pile according to some :) )

2112 (I love both sides alot)

Permanent Waves

Hemispheres

Moving Pictures

Caress Of Steel

Signals

Rush

Fly By Night

Grace Under Pressure

Power Windows

Hold Your Fire

Presto

Clockwork Angels

Counterparts

Test For Echo

Roll The Bones

Snakes & Arrows

Vapor Trails (the sound is just to awful. It probably has better songs than at least the three above but the sound puts it at the bottom)

None of these surprise me much. I do really love the elite 8 of HYF but I can't move it past 85' and before. Just can't. Some I admit may just be nostalgia but it is what it is...
