Considering I just listened to those albums in a row, I pick Permanent Waves. It's good, just not the best of the choices up there.

To me, the first era ended with Hemispheres, and the second era started with Permanent Waves (and ended with Hold Your Fire).

Hemispheres and A Farewell To Kings are my two favourite Rush albums. Permanent Waves is one of my four least favourite, so guess which I voted for!Wink

Permanent Waves is the most flawless, then Hemispheres. Moving Pictures will always mean something special to me.

By process of elimination I must vote for A Farewell to Kings.

So tough!!!! All of them are gems! As a big Rush fan, I can't really knock these albums at all, but I'd have to say Hemispheres is the "worst" of these albums.

^^^Hemispheres is the best (imo ofcourse). The "worst" (if you can speak of anything like that in this context, which I'd rather not do) imo is Permanent Waves, but that's still a VERY good album!

So that's why i am asking which of those four albums is the Worst, or if you do not want to use so agressive word you can tell us which you "Least Prefer". My Pick is Permanent Waves, greatcover but it seems to be a bit dull... Like a pale shadow of Moving Pictures. Only 2nd era album i don't listen to regulary. (If some of you who are "Not so much into Rush" ask this, Caress of steel and 2112 are not second era albums even though they are very progish)


I have to insist with my LEAST FAVOURITE (sorry Smile)... and that one is Permanent Waves...

Permanent Waves becuse of Spirit of the radio. It's just too "pop-ish" for my taste.
But PW is still an excellent record.
