As much the Rush fan as I am, I have to go with Leftoverture. That album does not get the cred it deserves as a prog classic. And Rush got way better after 2112, anyway. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Moonmadness>Leftoverture=Trick of the Tail>2112 Leftoverture and Trick are the two albums that got me into prog, so they have a special place for me, but Moonmadness is my all time favorite album. 2112 is great too but the others mean more to me. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

Never been a fan of Camel, Kansas is such a great album hard not to chose that one. Trick is too easy of a pick, agree it is amazing and one of my favs for Genesis. I pick 2112 just for the fact it could have been their swan song (album), luckily for the music world it was not. -------------

Don't forget the "song" 2112 is really a number of quite separate tracks strung together.

So is Supper’s Ready, and many others. So long as they are strung together well, it’s fine with me. There are some epic tracks that were written as one track which are good, and some which are not. There are some epic tracks that were strung together from separate track which are good, and some which are not. 2112 is probably my favourite Rush song. I love the separate sections, and how well they are put together. The overture does just what an overture should do (often bands title a track or passage as an overture when it’s no such thing), and the sections which follow tell the story more overtly, concisely and recognisably than many concept driven epics - both through the music and the vocals. I’m no great Rush fan, by any stretch of the imagination, but 2112 is definitely a great song. Length of a song is meaningless, if the song doesn’t serve the length. There’s probably more long songs that I think are needlessly long, but 2112 for me is one of the few that gets it just right. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

That’s what I came down to, for me, as well. Despite my having argued why I think 2112 is a great song earlier I’m this thread, 2112 is very far from being my favourite 1976 album. But it’s daily my favourite from those listed here, so..... 🤷🏻♂️ ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

2112 is Rush's Tarkus. Brilliant first side, second side, not so good (although better than Tarkus, I guess) ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
Posted By: nick_h_nz
Date Posted: January 20 2021 at 05:10
Agreed, on both points. Though I pretty much never listen to Tarkus’s second side, while I actually enjoy all the songs on 2112’s second song. They’re not as good as 2112 itself, but I do think they are somewhat unfairly compared against it. In terms of other Rush album, those second side songs are better than an awful lot of Rush’s discography.... 😳 ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

A Trick Of The Tail, even though Rush is a great rival. The yellow album demonstrates the level of hierarchy and professionalism of the band after the departure of their most important and leading member. It's an album just as good as the previous ones! ------------- -Will I see you tonight? -I never make plans that far ahead. Casablanca (1942) |
