It was between A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres and Hemispheres is too short and I don't like the synthy work so much. Still, plenty of great albums nevertheless.

Okay, how is Presto more "fusion"? Presto is an uneven album, but it's much better than Roll The Boner (hehe). Presto has some great songs, faves being "Chain Lightning" & "Available Light."

i think that is going to be a controversy, but to me is PRESTO...
these record shows a more matture band and a different approach to music, more melodic and more "fusion", less hard rock.
sounds strange, but is my favorite.
peace

Definitely Hemispheres, for me! Any album with a side long epic, and tracks like 'The Trees' & 'La Villa Strangiato' has to be a winner....

I voted for Farewell to Kings. But ask me again in 5 minutes and it will change. I had to go on a buisness trip, and I only brought Hemispheres and Caress of Steel. So if that tells you anything.

No, no! No Andy Ward... Andy Newmark instead!  I like him better even Dave Stewart! 
I just think of Pete Bardens as one of those "Kings without a crown" within the drummers world, and just like you say, if he would've decided drums over keyboards, surely we have never been given such ellegant CAMEL compositions... ( "Mirage" is my favorite album with Bardens BTW... )

I casted my vote to "Signals". Firstly, it was my premiere approach to the band, and ever since I listened to "Subdivisions", I realized Neil Peart had to be somewhere in between the "Best Drummer" category (I'd also put Cozzy Powell and Pete Bardens in there ) !!!

Signals. Why is it my favorite? Because it is. But I like it, Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves, and Grace Under Pressure fairly equally. Those are four mindblowing albums. I love every Rush album, some more than others, with the very first pre-Peart album not in my collection (no need for it), and Roll The Bones is also left out because the only songs on there I like are better-represented on the live albums.

I agree, there is a very loose connection between the two, but I am convinced that it is there.

I like all Rush albuns. This band is my favorite one but if I have to choose one I would choose Moving Pictures. But Permanent Waves is also fantastic and so is Counterparts, Signals, 2112...

The whole Cygnus X-1 series is my favorite song probably ever, but i think Book ii.: Hemispheres is my favorite part and the whole rest of that album is a giant masterpiece especially La Villa Strangiato. I just had to vote for Hemispheres.
