Digital Dad Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Presto, by a mile. RTB's highs are very high and its lows are very low. Presto is consistent and enjoyable, but it is what it is, its not my favorite, more a sentimental favorite along with HYF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Roll The Bones is their worst album hands down. Couldn't disagree more! I'm not saying it's among their finest, but it is not the worst. In my opinion. The album which holds that distinction came along about five years later. In my opinion. The good - You Bet Your Life I'm going to give that one a three-blink salute. :blink: Terrible, terrible song on a decent record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Presto is one of the bands greatest moments. A real pop rock classic, every song is killer and some days I wonder why I don't just call it my favourite. How anyone can call Counterparts the bands best album, only to bash on Presto, is ludicrous to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 And Roll The Bones has a few nice gems. Some real stinkers (the worst songs by that point), but overall, an EP's worth of classic material, which is more than most bands have in their entire career!

How anyone can call Counterparts the bands best album, only to bash on Presto, is ludicrous to my mind. Personally, the only thing that bothers me about Presto is the production, I really can't stand it. It makes the whole record sound quiet and weak. Counterparts doesn't have that issue, plus I personally like the songs on Counterparts more (minus The Speed of Love that is!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Presto is pretty darn good. Not fantastic but it sure has a good handful of songs that are. Roll The Bones is their worst album hands down. The good - DreamlineBravadoYou Bet Your Life The ok - Where's My Thing?Ghost of a ChanceBig Wheel The bad - NeuroticaFace UpHERESY Gotta agree with this, although I personally would only label Dreamline and maybe the title song as good and everything else as bad.

Xanadu Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Presto because I personally find it more enjoyable than RTB (excluding Available Light, I can't stand that song). I WANT TO MARRY THIS GIRL!!!!!! That's all it takes? lol....I don't like the song either, do you want to marry me too? :P I am going with RTB on this very very close one for me. It's the battle of the few good songs vs. the few stinkers so flip a coin. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Available Light is bloody fantastic! Hey, it's ok, as you know.... Opinions vary. :) I had a great .gif for that but it just went haywire when I tried to post it. Edited October 9, 2015 by Xanadu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Available Light is one of the most beautiful songs in the Rush catalogue. Then again, Tai Shan is also one of my favourites so whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
