Your Top 5 Rush Albums


Steevo
 Share

Recommended Posts

My top five is complicated. I've got five albums that I enjoy equally. Consequently, there is no true number one, just a collection of greats.

 

AFTK

CA

CP

PeW

PoW

Well, since I made this list I've gone through a change of sorts. I've replaced Counterparts with Exit Stage Left. God that album is amazing

 

Thank the gods!

I've changed mine in the last year:

 

Caress of Steel

Hemispheres

2112

Moving Pictures

Clockwork Angels (I tried to talk myself out of it, but I still love the entire album, minus some vocals on 7CoG).

You guys realize you are criminally overrating Clockwork Angels right?? I get that the band is into it because it's the most recent, but come on...

The only ones that were in competition for the 5th spot were AFTK and PeW, but those albums have my 2 least epics (I still really like them, just not as much as the others) and a song or two that I'm not completely in love with. Clockwork Angels has 40 minutes of music that is stronger to me right now than what those two albums have. But the list is always changing, so who knows where they'll be tomorrow.

Absolutely. 7CoG isn't my favorite, but it's still quite good. There's no song on the album that I don't like.

Dude I just threw on SCOG. I love Geddy's voice on that cut. Lyrically brilliant

It looks like you generated the list by hitting "random". Usually I can get a sense of what a person likes about rush and what they don't like, but I can't make sense of your list at all.

Ok, it's time for this old fave again. Always interested to see how they rank here and if the order has changed for anyone.

 

Hemi has jumped up to second but still cannot topple the perfection of MP for me...rank away then :NP:

 

:rush:

1. MP

2. Hemi

3. PeW

4. AFTK

5. 2112

:rush:

 

same, except move AFTK to the number 2 spot.

1 - Moving Pictures/Hemispheres

3 - Permanent Waves

4 - A Farewell To Kings

5 - Caress Of Steel

 

Oh it hurts to ignore Signals in the top 5.

I can't stand his high voice on that song. I like the song and they lyrics, but the vocals just don't do it for me.

Its good and almost the same as mine. You put their first release at #11 and move the rest down one and we would almost agree completely. Just my well known opinion by now, anything pre 86' beats anything after. Clockwork Angels possibly the only exception. I would probably still rank it 12th at this point however.....
