If it was up to me i would choose all of them, but if i had to pick i would choose their second period. All Rush music is great. Also im a big fan of the synth Rush period.

Clearly for me it's the second period.My four favourite Rush albums are all in that section.My all time fav album is "Permanent Waves. I remember buying "A Farewell To Kings" on vinyl in 1978 or so.The next three i bought on cassette when they came out.The record that came just before that period and just after that period are my next two favs."2112" and "Signals". Number 7 may sound random but it's "Vapor Trails".

But why you choose? what favorite track or favorite tracks are of you like the most?


Well, you caught me, I was sort of throwing a dart there.  I'm too much of a fanboy to really make a choice.  The only thing I can say is that I haven't been as impressed with their efforts post Counterparts, although the new one was a really good album.

Don't know their last 2 periods, and their 2nd just 2 albums.

But I'm sure I would still stay with the 1st Period, 2112, Caress of Steel and Fly by Night. I have A Farewell to Kings, it's not bad, on the contrary it's excellent, but it's not really my type of stuff, of course the title track and both epics are very good.

Fave album from the 1st Period: Caress of Steel. Fave track: Lessons

Hi, this topic is intended to show what period you like of the famous PA poll band Rush!Wink
 
i dare to divide in Four periods the music of Rush.
 
First period 1974- 1976, memorable riffs, great songs structures,powerful group sound,  4 epics (By tor and the snow dog, 2112, The Necromancer and  The Fountain of Lamment), also their most mystical and "obscure" in music terms period and compare of what they come to do later, and to me the best double album ever of they.
 
Second period: 1977-1981, Without a doubt their most progressive period, starting with AFTK and end with Moving Picts. a excellent live album and very complex songs and lyrics, and being Hemispheres and AFTK the cenit of their prog period.
 
Third period 1982- 1989, maybe the consolidation of a band that is among the best of prog rock, but the use of synths in a full prominent role, the artisitic direction that they have to the 80's do to the music, alieneated many hardcore fans of the two previous period. Excellent albums and with "obscure themes and topics" show, like Grace under Pressure.
 
Fourth and last period 1990- today, the consagration of a band that has survived four decades of rock and music in the first division. and in time the have the time to do a cover album and a excellent live album .
