Tough decision, but since 2 of my favorite Rush tracks, Xanadu and Cygnus-X1 are on AFTK, I eliminate Hemispheres.


Welcome back then, Wink and your reasoning is similar to mine...

The gap is only 3 votes in advantage of Hemispheres - would be nice to have it a slight bit tighter before the poll closes tomorrow.

Umm, Moving Pictures is the highest rated Rush album in the top 100.

AFTK is my favorite Rush album, but Hemispheres is very close.......
 
So I voted to eliminate Hemispheres, but these are the two best!
 
I want to thank everyone who has been taking part in this tournament!  It has been a lot of fun!
 
I just barely even got this post up yesterday, as I had a very busy day at school annd had to leave right after the students were dismissed to go to a meeting of music teachers in my county.  I just kinda threw it up there and left for the meeting.  
 
Deciding on the next tournament now....
 
Wacko

A Farewell to Kings contains great stuff such as Xanadu and Cygnus X-1, but is more inegal than Hemispheres. So I vote for AFTK.
