My order for the studio albums would probably be:
Hemispheres
Moving Pictures A Farewell To Kings Permanent Waves
2112 Caress of Steel Fly By Night Signals
Power Windows
Grace Under Pressure
Clockwork Angels Snakes & Arrows
Rush Counterparts Hold Your Fire Vapor Trails Roll The Bones Test for Echo Presto
As 'All the World's a Stage' was the live triple album that got me into them and took me to the Free Trade Hall, Manchester on June 2nd 1977 as an awestruck 16 year old - that would be near the top too! 'Exit Stage Left' probably just a couple of spaces below as well. Like many, I drifted away in the late 80s and early 90s, but great to see them get back on song of late and start to approach their previous majesty.

Personally I have a soft spot for Rush's 80s material. I don't mind the synths and I love how they were able to branch out their subject matter away from purely political thoughts but still managed to maintain their rebellious attitude while improving their musicianship and work as a group.
My list of favorites changes depending on the day of the week but here's what it is right now.
1. Permanent Waves 2. Grace Under Pressure 3. Hemispheres 4. Signals 5. Counterparts 6. A Farewell to Kings 7. Snakes & Arrows 8. Clockwork Angels 9. Roll the Bones 10. Hold Your Fire 11. Power Windows 12. Fly By Night 13. Moving Pictures 14. Vapor Trails 15. 2112 16. Caress of Steel 17. Presto 18. Test For Echo 19. Rush
It's a big spread an it pains me to see some albums so far down on the list because on the overall list of every album I've ever heard most of these are pretty near the top

So what you are saying that if you were the sole survivor a horrific plane crash on a desert island and all the females are dead but you find a lamp and you rub it and a genie emerges and says to you I can grant you only one wish before the rescue helicopter arrives and that wish is to listen to any Rush album after 2112 that you are going to say to the genie I'll take my chances. Personally, I would go for a live album that has at least one track from 2112 or anything before.
Personally, I would stuff the genie back into the lamp. What kind of derelict genie would force someone to listen to Geddy Lee on a desert island? What fresh hell!
So what if he said you could have any Justin Beiber album or the whole post- Rush 2112 catalogue? Would you still stuff the b*****d back into his lamp?
How about the sounds of silence? I don't care for Rush, thanks, and I care for them less after 2112. Why is that so difficult for you to fathom? And If your f*cked up Canadian Genie offered Bieber, I would wrap up the lamp in Canadian bacon, go to the shore of this mythical Canadian desert island, and feed the lamp to some cod or salmon or perhaps a walrus or an orca. Whatever Canadian sea creature would eat the damned thing. Your desert island sucks, as does your genie.
I sense anger. Believe me I'm not too crazy about Rush myself. Last time I checked there were no Walruses living in Canada. Thanks to man they have been eradicated. One thing about Rush that I do like is Alex's Paris Hilton rants.

Yeah he actually sounded like a male later on. I think that he was trying to compete with Nick Gilder or the Bee Gees for the tightest pants competition. Even ABBA sounded like bass singers compared to some of that 2112 crap.
