2112

2112 Best album of all time? Probably not. Best Canadian album of all time? Unless you want to make a case for other rush albums, most certainly. And that decision depends on the listener's fave sound, and rush had plenty of sounds during their almost 30 year existance. I just happen to prefer early Rush, I love the combination of Led Zeppelin-esque british blues rock and the combined amazing talents of Geddy, Alex and Neil. Specifically, in this case, Neil's songwriting ability and sci-fi imagination. 2112 is a must have if you enjoy good intricate guitar and bass lines melodically intertwined with amazing rythms from probably the best technical drummer this world has ever seen.

P.S. As a guitar player I must also stress the improtance of Alex Lifeson and arpeggios!
