This is how they rank according to the votes so far (based on my advanced rushometrics):

 

1. Permanent Waves

2. Hemispheres

3. A Farewell to Kings

4. Moving Pictures

5. Caress of Steel

6. 2112

7. Signals

8. Grace Under Pressure

9. Fly By Night

10. Power Windows

11. Counter Parts

12. Rush

13. Clockwork Angels

14. Hold Your Fire

15. Presto

16. Snakes and Arrows

17. (Tie) Test for Echo

19. Roll the Bones

 

Pretty interesting. Permanent Waves and Hemispheres are very close at the top and AFTK and Moving Pictures are very close at 3-4. There is a drastic drop off between Signals and Grace Under Pressure. Every studio album but Feedback has at least one vote. Really cool to see the differing opinions.

The top ten is about what it should be. They all belong in some order or another and I couldn't really argue with it with the exception of the Debut. Should be top ten in my view. Probably instead of Power Windows...

Appreciating the love Counterparts is getting in here

I bet. As soon as I see it or anything else made after 85' I move on and don't waste anymore time with that list... :)

:D

That too. Made in 89' but at least I like 60% of it. Not top ten in any way however. Hell I like 80% of HYF and I wouldn't put it in there either. To much greatness pre 85'... :codger:

Hemi just didn't do it for me on the first few listens. CA, on the other hand, blew me away right after I got used to the lower voice (was my second Rush album, first being 2112).
