Coolest Rush Album Title

[Tommy Sawyer]

Fly By Night

 

Great phrase

[goose]

Permanent Waves or Grace Under Pressure for me.

 

I agree that the love for Farewell to Kings is puzzling.

[HowItIs]

I've always loved Caress Of Steel. Sounds kinky

[New World Manny]

Had to go with P/G. Great cover, too.

Also shout out to Moving Pictures and Hold Your Fire.

[CygnusGal]

Hold Your Fire - Don't shoot!

Hold Your Fire - Here hold this; it is on fire so it might be tricky to handle

Hold Your Fire - Keep your passion

 

Hold Your Fire, imo. Ironic since it is my least favorite Rush album.

 

 

 

[Chicken hawk]

Roll the Bones.......

 

Seems like thats all we do to ourselves.

[Babycat]

Just made Permanent Waves equal with Caress Of Steel and Grace Under Pressure.

[Silas Lang]

I like Permanent Waves as a wry comment on the current musical fads and trends of the time and their own place within it.

 

Also, Grace Under Pressure is cool because that's what it's about...keeping your cool. As is Caress of Steel since I don't think anyone really knows what it's supposed to mean.

[DBJetsman]

Hemispheres sounds really cool...

[WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER]

Hard choice, so many great album titles.

 

I love the play on words titles like Permanent Waves, Hold your Fire..

 

I especially like the title Power Windows... I know the photo content is not supposed to come into play but this word play/photo is so cool:

 

Power Windows : binoculars

Power Windows : the boy, the remote, the window

Fingers on strings.

[rushgoober]

Wow, I had no idea when I started the thread where the votes would go. It seems only 4 album titles have any significant amount of votes:

 

Permanent Waves

Grace Under Pressure

Caress of Steel

A Farewell to Kings

 

All of those are in my top 7, so I'm happy!

See them bow there heads to die, thought I read somewhere meant head on the chopping block... La guillotine claims her bloody prize. Which as it turned out to be, Rush really stuck there necks out on this one, close to self inflicted career suicide. btw.. love this album it gets my vote as coolest title Farewell second which the cover to me as a Pink Floyd Animals Industrial vibe to it.

[SchemingDemon]

Grace Under Pressure

[Territorial_Game]

Never actually thought about this one before. Hooray goobs for a good poll! Voted for AFTK, but Test for Echo is a pretty cool title too.

In my mind I always thought of the steel as a sword but yours seems like a pretty good analogy and maybe Neil came up with the title with the intentional double meaning.

[USB Connector]

Caress of steel. I like that it says "I'm metal, but only slightly". Too bad the album is garbage

[Hatchetaxe&saw]

Went with PeW. Amazed at the number of votes for Caress of Steel. It sounds like an Anvil/Saxon/Manowar album title.

[OGr8imL84AD8inF8sBlackSedan]

As much as I hate the record, I like the name. T4E.

[treeduck]

A Farewell to Kings which is a nice play on the Hemingway tome A Farewell to Arms...

 

Fly by Night is a cool title too...

And it came out long before those bands emerged...
