( For Lucas ) I'm sorry but that must have been some kind of mistake I have no idea how that got up there. Anyway, I voted on your poll and chose Hemispheres.La Villa Strangiato is a phenomenal piece of music. I can't even remember how many times I've seen Rush live. The best show was at the Montreal Forum in 1978 ( Farewell To Kings Tour ).

Glad too see some folks picking "Farewell"; a great album that is often underplayed IMHO.

Hey, don't worry about it.
Hmm, I can't decide; they all make very good candidates. Might as well just sit back and listen to them all back to back before I make up my mind

Sorry for the omission of 'fly by night' in the list.

This is a tough one. 2112 is classic to the nth degree. Hemisphere's contains some extra ordinary technical achievements, La Villa Strangiato is Rush's instrumental orgasm.
Hey Lucas, did you notice that you left Fly By Night off the list?
For me, however, I'm going to rate A Farewell to Kings as the best. Closer to the Heart is the Quintessential RUSH tune. Also, Cygnus X-1 is an adventure. I also like the balance between Sunlight and Shadow on this one. Real ear candy...... yum yum
