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.

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....

Been out of it longer than I thought...
 
Tough decision, but since 2 of my favorite Rush tracks, Xanadu and Cygnus-X1 are on AFTK, I eliminate Hemispheres.
