Don't worry.  When your not busy entertaining yourself with Ginger and Maryann, the Professor is always available to invent things such as a solar powered CD player for playing that 1 CD that you were able to rescue.
 
Or better yet, make sure you have your laptop with your wireless broadband internet connection and then you will always be able to access prog rock radio.  Of course, that is only after the Professor develops that solar power generator thingamajig.

The answer, of course, depends on what you consider the best value. A surfeit of mostly mediocre, or a single serving of very good? I suspect Rush fans, as opposed to prog fans in general, might choose the surfeit more often, as it represents more of a particularly cherished thing. Not being one of those myself, with no disrespect, I'll go with the single serving of Hemispheres.

I lost sight on Rush after the mediocre 'Presto' and the disappointing 'Roll the Bones'. If this were not so, I still should choose for 'Hemispheres' because I think that their best years were the period frrom 'A Farewell to Kings' to 'Signals'.

Hemispheres is an obvious choice for me, since its my favorite album by them, and i don't really enjoy the 3 others mentionned.

I guess I would choose the last three.  That way I have three frisbees, at least until the technology is invented where coconuts can play cds, as you didn't mention anything about grabbing a cd player.  Wink
 
Better yet, how bout I just grab the nearest good looking woman instead, rescue her and bring her with me to the deserted island.  As much as I love Rush, methinks a hot babe beats the heck out of Geddy, Alex and Neil.  Tongue
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Look.. I have been playing Hemispheres quite a few times now, with this newly acquired solar powered CD player I have acquired (Cheers)

But... I am now sick and tired of Hemisruddypheres! can someone do a cargo drop for some other stuff.
