Presto, easily. ClapClapClap

I have always loved the songs, Alex's guitar work, Geddy's singing and the overall production on this album.

Second, probably Power Windows. (My fave Rush album for a short while)

Can't choose a third, too close to call. Confused

Has to be Signals. Hard to explain why, I just happen to like it more. But none of them are bad (although Permanent Waves and Presto tend to bore me).

Permanent Waves for me - it's probably my favourite album of all eras of Rush.

Ya know, I actually like that song... But yeah, I agree with your comment. Big%20smile

So anyways, since Moving Pictures got such a high vote.. I might as well go ahead and buy it... since it's one of the few I don't have yet. Tongue

  1. Moving Pictures
  2. Permanent Waves


The other albums don't compare to these two.

Hold Your Fire

have some clappies....  it probably is my favorite as well.  Not their best of course... just the most fun to listen to for me.

of the 80's albums.....  loved Signals so much...  the next albums disappointed me so much.. they lost me.. and have never gone back I guess

edit... damn... forgot your clappies..

ClapClap
