I agree.
    

    
Me too. In fact, Cyggie, my list looks exactly like yours except switch Counterparts and Vapor Trails.

Signals is quite frequently my favorite Rush album of them all.

Seeing as Signals was the last time I feel Rush showed much inspiration, I voted for that.

I love both, but "Signals" gets my vote.

"Signals" for me - it contains one of my favourite Rush songs (both musically and lyrically), that is, "The Weapon".

Signals. The last truly great Rush album. I have a feeling their upcoming album will match it or exceed it... hopefully...

Tough...
 
Well, on Signals, I don't like New World Man (never did) and Alex's sound (before the remastered version) was not good.
 
Power Windows has a lot of great songs (except maybe Emotion Detector and Middletown Dreams which I still like) and showcases Neil's best work post Moving Pictures up to that point.  His lyrics on PW are WAY better than on Signals, and I prefer the overall mood.  PW also includes Big Money, Manhattan Project, Marathon, Territories and Mystic Rythms, all classics to me.
 
So I vote for Power Windows.
 
Peace !
