To make up for having forgotten to mention Neil Peart in my poll for best classic prog drummer, I launch two polls, one to vote for the best Rush album released in the 70's, the second to vote for the best Rush album released in the 80's. Good polls !

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

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

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

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

( 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 ).

Yes, Hemispheres is a great album, but IMHO it would sound more delightful if Geddy had sung at that time with the voice he had on the further Rush albums (I mean records such as 'Power windows' or 'Signals').

Ah, finally a poll I can sink my teeth into.

AFTK for me, followed closely by Hemispheres. I find these the best back-to-back album release of all time.

  1. A Farewell to Kings (despite Cinderella Man)
  2. Hemispheres
  3. Carress of Steel

The others I'm not too fond of.
