Retrospective Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) I know everyone has an opinion on this, and I'm curious to hear it! What do you think is the best album for Geddy, Alex, and Neil as players? Best bass album, best guitar album, best drum album, best *vocal* album? 3, 2, 1, GO! :Alex: :Neil: :geddy: Edited June 5, 2013 by Retrospective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 probably hemispheres or permanent waves for all three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerofthor Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Definately ESL for Alex, and maybe for the other two as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm going AFTK for Neil. PoW for Geddy. Lerxt is tough, hhmmmmmm MP I think is the one for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShlappinDahBass Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 2112 for Alex. Hemispheres for Neil. Hold Your Fire for Geddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Definitely can't pick these off the top of my head, or even by thinking about it. To figure out my answer to this question, I think I'll have to listen to all the albums very carefully on a really good sound system with the question in mind I'd also have to include an album for Geddy's vocals! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogmiddleagedman Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I am not a musician, but these are my takes.Alex - FbN - like the rawnessGeddy - PoW - he carried the albumNeil - good god. Anything prior to Presto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBob Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'd say Power Windows is Geddy at his best bass and keyboards. Also his vocals are incredible on this album as well. Permanent Waves is Alex's best showing. His guitarwork is just amaizng all the way through Moving Pictures I guess is Niel's Best stuff, though I think Colckwork Angles has me playing lots of air drums! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I guess for the synths, you'd have to go with power windows! forgot to include that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Geddy: Power WIndows or Hold your Fire. He just kills it so hard on both of these Alex: 4 way tie between Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure. His lead work on the first two is so iconic, but his rhythm playing on the latter pair is so remarkable. Red sector A is just an amazing showcase of what Lerxst is all about. Neil: Can I pick a tour? Cause he's playing better right now than he ever has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Power Windows hands down for Geddy, For Neil, if we are talking diversity of percussion, I would go for A farewell to kings, for technique, I would go with Moving pictures, and for Alex, honestly I gotta say Clockwork Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodofTheZodiac Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Lerxst.....Clockwork Angels. He's simply on fire on this album!! Also, because the tone sounds heavy and there's just a heavy feel to his playing, and I'm a metalhead!! Dirk.....Hold Your Fire. Based on the fact that it had a cool jazzy feel and sound, along with how audible it was!! Pratt.....Signals. The drumming on Subdivisions, Digital Man and The Weapon alone are equivalent to entire albums in my opinion. It's just such an interesting drum album to my ears!!
