I wonder if that's where they got the name for their next album(kind of like the "relayer" part on tfto). I will say this though "vital signs" at least sounds like a preview for the next album since it sounds more like something on signals than the rest of MP(imo).

Look folks. I think our signals are getting crossed. The balance is becoming distorted by internal incoherence.

Vital Signs is my least favorite from the album. I just don't find it very memorable. Witch Hunt at least has a very cool synth in it.

It's not my favorite Rush album either (I prefer A Farewell to Kings) but even so it's better than 3/4 of this list. Vital Signs is one of my faves. So quirky in its 80s style. Everybody needs reverse polarity.

I’m not a huge fan of it, I like hemispheres a lot better, Tom Sawyer through the camera eye is all great. But the last two songs don’t do it for me. |

That album is actually incredible imo, def deserves its place in the top 20 maybe even higher. Mindblowingly good. Edited by dougmcauliffe - July 13 2019 at 16:15 |

I'm just scratching my head as to how Moving Pictures can be #20 when it blows 3/4 of that list out of the water. Is it Opposite Day today?

Anyone who puts LTiA last in that list is fundamentally wrong.

true that.. what is the harm ehh.. putting an asterick by those I would probably put in my own personal top 20 and I think I grossly estimated how much my tastes overlap the forums... *01: Close to the Edge 02: Fragile 03: Dark Side of the Moon 04: Selling England 05: Wish You Were Here 06: Animals 07: Mirage 08: Itchycock 09: Per Un Amico 10: Relayer 11: Larks Tongues in Aspic 12: Nursery Cryme 13: Red 14: Foxtrot 15: Moonmadness 16: Thick as a Brick 17: Moving Pictures 18: Godbluff 19: Pawn Hearts 20: From Silence to Somewhere (ummm what the f**k is this album.. and what is it doing here on this list btw) |

I'm not sure whether even one of these is in my personal top 20 (although I like many of them a lot) but I don't mind. The game is to rank these. And I'm fine with that. I don't need to put my personal favourites up in every ranking of anything...

Hi,
PASS. That list is way too commercial for me, and at least 10 of my choices would be material that most of you will laugh at and think it is stupid, and will never listen to it ... except Micky, of course!

There are some I would kick out, and I would definitely not have more than one album for each artist (that's nothing but fanboyism; no artist is that great, not even VdGG), so about half of them would have to go.
