Rush - Working Man (I have to admit that the lyrics are pretty crappy for this song, but the bass line is so catchy)
Fly By Night - Beneath, Between, And Behind
Caress Of Steel - Bastille Day
2112 - 2112
A Farewell To Kings - Xanadu
Hemispheres - La Villa Strangiato
Permanent Waves - Natural Science
Moving Pictures - Tom Sawyer
Signals - The Weapon

Hold Your Fire - Time Stand Still

Roll The Bones - Roll The Bones
Counterparts - Stick It Out

Vapor Trails - extremely hard to chose: I absolutely love this entire album. I guess I'll say Stars Look Down

there are a few gaps, which are the albums I don't yet have.
Who you gonna call?

  1. Rush- Working Man
  2. Fly By Night- In the End
  3. Caress of Steel- The Fountain of Lamneth
  4. 2112- 2112
  5. A Farewell to Kings- Cygnus X-1
  6. Hemispheres- Hemispheres
  7. Permanent Waves- Natural Science
  8. Moving Pictures- Red Barchetta
  9. Signals- Subdivisions
  10. Grace Under Pressure- Between the Wheels

  14. Roll the Bones- Bravado
  15. Counterparts- Animate

That's it as far as studio albums go for me...

As far as Live goes...

  1. All the World's a Stage- 2112
  2. Exit... Stage Left- Jacob's Ladder
  3. A Show of Hands- Subdvisions (or Mystic Rhythms)
  4. Different Stages- Cygnus X-1 (off of Disc 3... even though Geddy is off at one point... or 2112)
  5. Rush in Rio- Natural Science (or La Villa Strangiato)
  6. R30- I'd say either Subdivisions or 2112.

2112 - 2112
A Farewell to Kings - Xanadu

Rush - Working Man (this one was easy)
Fly By Night - By-Tor and the Snowdog
Caress of Steel - The Fountain of Lamneth (though The Necromancer is very close)
2112 - 2112 of course.
A Farewell to Kings - Xanadu (but Cygnus X-1 comes really close)
Hemispheres - La Villa Strangiato
Permanent Waves - Freewill (solo section is absolutely amazing by all three, Natural Science is close)
Moving Pictures - YYZ
Signals - this is really hard... Losing It, The Weapon, Chemistry, Digital Man...
Grace Under Pressure - Between the Wheels, Kid Gloves
Power Windows - Emotion Detector, Territories
Hold Your Fire - Open Secrets, Mission
Presto - Show Don't Tell, War Paint, The Pass, Presto
Roll the Bones - Ghost of a Chance, Bravado, Where's My Thing
Counterparts - This is also really hard, Alien Shore, Double Agent, Between the Sun and Moon...
Test for Echo - Time and Motion, Test for Echo, Driven, Totem, Resist....
Vapor Trails - Ceiling Unlimited, Stars Look Down, Secret Touch
Feedback - Heart Full of Soul, Crossroads

Live Albums

All the World's a Stage - By-Tor and the Snowdog (ALex is great on this track)
Exit..Stage Left - La Villa Strangiato (Perhaps Alex's fastest recorded performance)
A show of Hands - Mission (Alex's extended solo is one of his best)
Different Stages - 2112 in its entirety
Rush in Rio - Secret Touch, sounds so much better than the poorly master studio version
R30 - Subdivisions, they performed it flawlessly and Alex's guitar and louder and crunchier

As you can see picking one favorite Rush song per album is extremely difficult if not impossible... for some of us anyway
