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.

Yes you are on a deserted island (surprise surprise) but luckily for you (if your a Rush fan) you managed to escape the sinking boat with some music, but you didn't have much time so you could only grab what you could before the boat sank ! above are the things you can choose but the waters are shark infested and you can't carry much because you need to swim fast ! you are stuck on this island for a long time the music you select here is probably the only thing going to keep you sane till you are rescued DO NOT SELECT THE WRONG BUNDLE OR YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE !!! as keeping sane is your only chance to survive ...  |
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. 
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.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?
