LedRush Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 PoW has a lot of bad songs...GuP doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Power Windows gets my vote. Grace Under Pressure. It's the record I enjoy listening to the most of all Rush records. ^^^^^That about sums it up for me.....I can listen to it from beginning to end with no hesitation. Also my first RUSH album I bought, my first live RUSH concert of 49 now, my first fight at a concert....basically the start of my RUSHMANIA. Your first fight? How often do you fight at concerts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertrobyn Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I can not vote in this pole. It would be unfair. PoW is my #1 and GuP is #2 favorites of all Rush Lp's!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 For the synth era (82-87) -1. Hold Your Fire2. Power Windows3. Grace Under Pressure4. SignalsBut IMO all these albums are amazing! I love them all and 2-4 are tied! But I'm going to choose Power Windows because it was it's my 2nd favorite Rush album in all! I rate them in the exact opposite order. This was a much harder choice than I thought it would be. I have to go with GuP but it is only .00001% better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, that was my first and only fight @ any concert that is that I can remember of over 500 concerts I've seen. I was young, I had some drink, some smoke ( to the point where on cassette, in a car waiting on a friend I blasted The Camera Eye prior to GUP show. I started freaking out when it started up wondering who in hell is honking their horns on a parked car) went to the show @ the Hampton Coliseum, VA. I bought the white GUP shirt early and some really drunk dude grabbed it and took off. Well I ran him down tackled him and proceed to give him a nice pounding not to unconsciousness but enough to get by now my torn and tattered shirt back. Of which I do not have today.

I think I would also rank them in the opposite order...and they'd all fall to the bottom half of album rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Went with Power Windows, mainly because it's the one I most recently listened to, and I was blown away by the last three songs from Side 2. What a run of perfection. Edited August 5, 2014 by goose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Territories hasn't aged well for my ears, but the other three I really love. I only listen to it in the car, though. That makes a difference to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that mean exactly? I think Territories is the best song on the album. Very dynamic and grooving. And those drums...

NaturalHemisphereGarden Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Power Windows, because it has so many classics like Manhattan Project, Marathon, Territories, and Middletown Dreams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Marathon is such a great song it could make even RTB a top five album... ...that song is a Sex Hot Classic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjnev Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Power Windows accomplished the amazing. Take a HORRIBLE choice in direction (80's sounding Casio keys-based "Tears for Fears" wannabe music) and actually make it GREAT and make it WORK!!! I kinda liked the "Casio" keys . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
