It will then post the little viewer box. Alternately, use the "Share" link in the middle of the YouTube page. It will give you a shortened URL that can be posted here.

LedRush Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Snakes & Arrows or Vapor Trails... take your pick. Vapor Trails is a Rush classic. No, it isn't. Yes, it is. How the hell is this a classic? Has it hit any record sales? Anyone begging for that material to be played? What's the amazing track on that album? Ghost Rider is one of the band's best. Perhaps not top 10, but still an amazing track that stands up very well against the best work they've done. Vapor Trails isn't in the top 5 for me, but it's better than quite a few albums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I prefer to use the phrase "least favourite" rather than "worst". In the right frame of mind RTB can be immensely enjoyable as far as pop rock is concerned. We have the same bottom 2, and those are locked in for me. The others switch around a bit, but the PoW to Presto run would produce much of the next "least favorite" for me.

GeddyLeeRoth Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I vote Roll The Bones, but its still a good album. My main issues are that there is very little emotional weight to it, its very dry and contained. Ironically, this is the album that drew me back to Rush. I kinda put them on the back burner during HYF and Presto (years later I learned to appreciate these albums more—though, they still remain in the bottom half of any rankings). Second 'worst' album I would say is T4E. Though I do have a certain fondness for this album as well, but only give it a spin once every few years like RTB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bottom 5 but at the same time I never imagine it as one of the worst... it lacks identity but at the same time it's full out pop rock... I could go on and on.

It seems to have a very unique and specific identity to me. It's magical realism done with music which is comepletely unique and original. Google "magical realism" if you don't know what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars123 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The absolute biggest piece of shit Rush ever recorded... To me... Was not Presto (One of my favorites) or Roll the Bones, T4E (Top 12) or Vapor Trails (top 10) it's the debut. Only Working Man is good. Nothing else on the album but that.Your age is not listed and its none of my business anyway but you must be relatively young at least compared to me anyway. I will probably be proven wrong shortly after I hit post but I can't imagine anyone who listened to the band starting in th 70's or even the 80's feeling that way. There is nothing wrong with feeling that way obviously but it would surprise me some... :)You are correct, I am younger. I am not as wise (I don't want to say old. You're only old when you're dead) as you or any or any of the more experienced fans here. I do agree, if I had grown up when Rush was first starting I would be more in love with their 70's albums (not saying I don't love them). But because of when I was born, i first listened to their 80's albums and that's what made me fall in love with Rush. :) 2112 is my favorite 70's Rush song although.

Starting with ATWAS and backtracking as I did in 77' it is impossible for me to not have fondness and apreciation for the debut... :codger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
