Voted for Test for Echo. Their most uneven album imo.

I think Yes elimination would be more interesting:)

Not Nescessarily, but it would be difficult to make an informed decision

    
Well, since I'd like to make an informed decision, I better not vote, then.
    
Especially since I rate both that I own between 4 and 4.6 stars (2112, Hemispheres).

a reminder that games of "albums elimination" have been long made, up in Just For Fun. It's good for the topic starter to moderate, this time, the entire situation, but let's not get into a slow motion danger. (or an accumulation of such "games")

I suppose there is a danger of 'tactical' voting here. I admit freely that I have just done that.
My  least favourite Rush album would be 'Fly By Night', but, as I like 'Roll The Bones', and it is in danger of being voted off, I have voted for the debut, 'Rush', to give RTB a chance.
Interesting and good poll with a difference though!Thumbs Up

You can't eliminate Presto, It's the greatest thing along with MP and Signals! I voted for Rush since if i had voted for 2112 i would have just wasted my vote.

Test for Echo is my least favorite Rush effort.

The Debut album.

It's not terrible but it's not that great lets face it. They were only about 20, they didn't have Neil Peart and they probably weren't even thinking in terms of prog.

Vapour Trails is my next least favourite. Cant get into it. By Rush standards it's just not interesting, melodic or imaginative enough IMO.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

OK...I am declaring the Debut Album "Eliminated" wih 11 votes against it....RTB with 9 and VT with 8 were the closest.....
 
If a mod or admin can close this poll I would certainly appreciate it (I wish there was a way to have the polls automatically "time-out", as they can on some other forums)...look for Round 2 to be posted shortly......

Presto is the worst Rush album (still not a very bad album) IMO. I liked some songs quite much in it but overall it does not possess enough quaility.

I only have 2112, Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, and Counterparts, so out of those I voted Counterparts (which is actually a good album but doesn't compare to their earlier efforts that I've heard IMO).
