What is Rush's worst album? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Some of which felt like Rush for people who don't like music.

I can't say I agree. Ouch

I would say Presto. Didn't quite work for me, but the albums before and after weren't all too bad.

I don't know what the worst Rush album is. I stopped purchasing Rush albums after "Power Windows". I don't know how or when...but I ended up with copies of Presto and Counterparts. I'd like to backtrack and purchase the picks of the litter from the "Hold Your Fire" to "Clockwork Angels" multi-decade period. I don't wish to wade through bottom-dwelling swill. I have never seen a consensus opinion on the worst Rush.

What is your least favorite Rush album?

What do you dislike about your least favorite Rush album?

I don't understand the question or statement Confused

.....As well the highlighted sentence should answer your question, there is a reason for that.

I bought Hold Your Fire used and sold it right back to the used record store.

I regret that decision. It's a fantastic album.

If forced to choose, I'm not really fond of the debut. It's too much standing in Led Zeppelin's shadow.

All the other albums are at least great, which is a testament to just how incredible and creative this group was.

Word....For me if my life depended in it would be Test For Echo, but only because I don't spin it that often.

Mr Skeletor, any new music coming out?? Thumbs Up

I'd say the debut album, and even that was quite passable!

Garage bands often covered "Working Man" in that era!

I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!!

Yes!

Ten new songs this year. Just need the sports season to wind down.

I gave up teaching and I'm now a sports editor. Once the lazy days of baseball get underway, I can finish the new project. It is called, Moments Between Light.

Awesome news on both fronts.
