Number 5 is tough. Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows were under consideration. Fan of both those albums. First four have been locked in those positions for many years now.


possibly the greatest 5 album run of all time. Signals is a great album and probably an album I like more than the stuff before Hemispheres. 2112 is undoubtedly classic but just now seems very dated and hasn't aged well IMO.


Richardh,

It certainly is one of the great runs. 2112 is probably the most important album in the band's catalog as it undoubtedly saved the band. And because it was done under their terms, it allowed them creative control going forward. Had Geddy, Alex and Neil bent to the label's demand to release a more commercial album, I don't see how we get Xanadu, La Villa Strangiato or Jacob's Ladder going forward.

However, like you, outside of the first 7 minutes of 2112 and A Passage to Bangkok it is not an album I revisit much.
