robertrobyn Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Power Windows in my top 5. Nice to know we have a new song on Counterparts.

The Analog Cub Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I think I agree with that list, except I would swap out the first album for Fly By Night or Snakes and Arrows, both of which are much better (if you disagree with Snakes and Arrows, then put in Vapor Trails). I'm VERY pleased to see Clockwork, Counterparts, Grace, and Power Windows in there rather than the usual "anything after Signals sucks and we hate it if Terry Brown didn't produce it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 It would've been really nice though if they took the time to actually write out some well thought opinions on each album rather than recycle old reviews. Can't say I'd ever give RS much credibility, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ranked it, they only did so loosely because they put Moving Pictures and Hemispheres at the end (10 to 1), and I mean loosely because they put Power Windows higher than Signals.

Powderfinger Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Just about the strangest list of top Rush albums I've ever seen. Is it in order from 10 to 1? No Permanent Waves?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even think about that. Drop the first album for Permanent Waves. HTF did I forget that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 No Permanent Waves? Rush better than Fly By Night? Grace Under Pressure AND Power Windows? Very weird list. But it shouldn't surprise because this was voted on by hardcore fans who, almost by definition, want to vote for the things that aren't traditionally popular.

Rick N. Backer Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 The omission of Permanent Waves is nothing short of fatal to the seriousness of this list. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanalogmiddleagedman Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 To set them straight: Hemispheres, PeW, Moving Pictures, 2112, Signals, FbN, AFtK, Counterparts, VT, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 The omission of Permanent Waves is nothing short of fatal to the seriousness of this list.Agreed. Even a top 5 without Permanent Waves makes the list worthless in my humble opinion.... :) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Any Rush fan that was around in the 70's, 80's, or even the 90's shouldn't even give RS the time of day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 SInce when could Rolling Stone ever do a proper top RUSH album list? Since when could they ever do any music list properly? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I don't believe the poll. No Permanent Waves…..Rush's very best album. Incredible…..really? I mean really? Blech. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I can't believe a lot of this list, I can believe the top three though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBob Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've listenes to 2112 numerous times...So, um at what part does it reference Greek Gods? '2112' With Fly by Night and Caress of Steel selling less than expected, Mercury Records pushed Rush to make their fourth LP their most commercial. The resulting album may not have been pop in the sense that it opens with a 20-minute suite referencing obscure Greek gods and telling a story resembling that of a dystopian Ayn Rand novel, Also I remember that jaggoff's review of Clockwork Angels. 'Mount Nerd'? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBob Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I don't believe the poll. No Permanent Waves…..Rush's very best album. Incredible…..really? I mean really? Blech. A list of the best RUSH albums, or all-time rock albums that doesn't include Permanent Waves is a joke. One of the few albums where every song in my opion is perfect. Theres a central theme amoungst all the songs, the production is high quality, the energy is there in every song, and the musical perfection is clearly visable in every song. PM is my favorite album. And its such a joy to listen to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
