AnEggplant Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) It is well known here that Rush underwent two very musically different eras. I have seen die hard fans of each, but which one is the best? Edited November 10, 2015 by AnEggplant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 For me it's quite easily the prog era, although I do enjoy a lot of things in the synth era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Voting both. If that is not an option... I still vote both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graxxus Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 They were equally successful in both endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I added an option for 'both' now. ;) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I would have said synth But then i'd miss out on COS, Hemispheres, Waves, and MP. So.....both Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Remember this is about which era is better overall. I personally like both but I feel that there is more good stuff in the prog era than in the synth era, so I'm going for that.

LedRush Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I would take any 2 of the prog albums over all 4 of the synth ones. And it wouldn't be a hard choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm a prog era person . . . . . partly a function of when I first got hooked on Rush (prog era, obviously.) Naps would agree . . . . .miss you, Narps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I added an option for 'both' now. ;) I cannot choose between them- so the 'both' option is much appreciated. I have to have 2112 and Hemispheres just as much as I have to have Grace Under Pressure and Hold Your Fire.

YYZumbi Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 To me they are so different eras, I cant say who is the best one, they are good on different ways. So I vote for both are equally good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbobby10 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I listen to the progs more than I do with the Synth era, but it would be incomplete without it, so both are equally good to me even though i like the prog albums more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Any time a thread title includes the word "best" it's never going to end well. There is no such thing. It's just subjective. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered what happened to him. I noticed his account looked closed. If it was just taking time off I wouldn't think he would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it's pretty evenly divided depending on who's visiting the forum today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 come the f**k on! I'm one of the synth era's biggest defenders, I've been in countless arguments with led and the 50-somethings about the synth era's merits, but the poll was over as soon as I read "hemispheres." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_World_Man Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I suppose I prefer the prog era mainly because I got heavily into prog before I got heavily into RUSH. However, I really do like the synth era and for the eighties at least those albums were often very proggy. In fact I think in some ways you could say that RUSH as well as a few other bands(Marillion comes to mind)carried the prog torch into the eighties and beyond.
