prolix Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 For Example: Vapor Trails is a very upbeat and positive album. Nice to listen to in the Spring, when everything is blooming. Winter: Fly By Night or Caress of Steel Spring: Vapor Trails or Signals Summer: Power Windows Fall: Grace Under Pressure or Moving Pictures I originally got the idea to make the topic after a post in this topic: http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/97722-presto/page__hl__anagram__st__80 By this user: http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/user/14277-blue-barchetta/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day of Light Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) I saw the little bit of conversation about the albums in that thread as well; it's an interesting topic! I think every Rush album has a seasonal mood to it. The way I'd put my albums is as follows. I put my favorite for each season in italics: WinterCaress of SteelA Farewell to KingsGrace Under PressureTest For Echo SpringPermanent WavesPower WindowsPrestoVapor Trails SummerRushMoving PicturesSignalsHold Your FireSnakes and Arrows FallFly By Night2112HemispheresRoll The BonesCounterpartsClockwork Angels Edited March 17, 2016 by Day of Light 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Winter-Grace Under Pressure or Moving Pictures,both bleak sounding records,not a bad thing.Spring-Power Windows or Permanent Waves.Both bright albums 'springing ' to life.Summer-Roll the Bones-I played it all summer long in my 1959 Pontiac without a care in the world.Autumn/Fall-2112 or Hemispheres or anything by Leonard Cohen,winters coming,foreboding.

JohnnyBlaze Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Imho, no Rush album seems to fit New Year's Eve ((except for JUST side 1 of 2112)) but I can think of a few that work well on New Year's Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Bay Rush Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Too technical for me... how about this: Any Rush album anytime? Right now, on Youtube, Rush just came on with By Tor... so, I just HAD to turn that SOB up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Autumn for me is Hold Your Fire or Power Windows. Maybe it's because they were released at that time. No other album has a set time for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Rush is good any time of year, I don't discriminate between the albums I love :sundog: Presto is horrible any time of year, though. Probably worst during summer, because all that thin and dry sound is going to leave me severely dehydrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Barchetta Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Winter: Presto or AFTKSpring: Signals or P/GSummer: Moving PicturesFall: Hold Your Fire or Power Windows Weird how there are so many different opinions on this. I think it depends on when the first time you heard the album was, as well as maybe a certain point in your life when you were listening to it. I fell in love with Rush after hearing Grace Under Pressure in the spring of '84, so that will always be a "spring" album for me. BTW: Lorraine! My font is doing weird crap again!

greg2112 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I always associate Signals with winter time, most likely because it was when I first got into Rush and saw them in December at MSG for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
