So what do you guys think is the most underrated or underappreciated Rush album? I would say either Presto, Hold Your Fire or Test For Echo. I could say Roll the Bones but that one actually went platinum (as did Fly by Night).

^Caress of Steel usually is viewed unfavorably. I think it's a great album.

I'm not much of a Rush fan (like some music but not a fan really), but I have loved Caress of Steel. Maybe something to do with me not counting myself as a Rush fan. "I Think I'm Going Bald" is a pretty unappreciated song (over or under I won't get into).

"I think I'm going bald" is almost like the Rush equivalent of "Harold the Barrell" or "Get em out by Friday." It's a song that you can't really take too seriously even if it's not overtly comical like those Genesis songs. I suppose some people think "don't kill the whale" is kind of a dumb song too.

CoS is definitely underrated and underappreciated. Not by me of course though.

Under appreciated by the masses to me would be Presto. All the songs hold their own, but none are mega standout songs. I saw that tour back in like '90 in Maryland, the setlist during that era was kinda strange as the Presto songs did not marry up well with Hemispheres or AFTK.......It was the era where people were getting into Rush but because of Signals not because of CoS or 2112.

Things change over time and now because of the internet people get into bands through albums that they probably wouldn't have in the 80s or 90s. I would say these days most people are getting into Rush through Moving Pictures (and Yes through CTTE but this is a Rush thread
 ). |

I think "Show Don't Tell" is a standout and better than anything on Roll the Bones. It got substantial airplay till "The Pass" was released as a single. The Presto songs all sounded much better live (I saw them in Los Angeles and San Diego on that tour), especially "Show Don't Tell"! One of my favorite basslines by Geddy, too. This clip is excellent but is disabled for playback on other sites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J41AXq3-Mc0 |

Rush are releasing their "first ever" box set in March, including a $375 Backstage exclusive super deluxe set. his Rush Backstage Super Deluxe Exclusive contains a bonus pack of 4
lithos! Rush Backstage is the only place you can receive this special
offer. Celebrate 50 years of RUSH with their first-ever complete career anthology. 50 tracks on 4 CDs and 7 180g LPs featuring selections from every studio, live and deluxe reissue album. Igniting the experience are the very first two singles "Not Fade Away" and "You Can't Fight It" remastered & reissued for the first time ever. The collection showcases 7 unreleased tracks including five 1974 live selections with the non-album songs "Bad Boy" and "Garden Road," a Vault Edition of "The Trees" with an alternate guitar solo, and the very last performance with Neil Peart in Los Angeles on August 1, 2015 of "What You're Doing / Working Man / Garden Road." The 104-page hardcover book features new Hugh Syme 50th anniversary artwork along with stunning new song illustrations, photos and liner notes by renowned rock journalists David Fricke and Philip Wilding. Exclusive to this Super Deluxe are 20 lithos illustrating one song from each studio album and a second 100-page hardcover book The Fullness Of Time, a brand-new graphic novel by Fantoons storytelling a conversation by Geddy & Alex reminiscing on the trials, tribulations and successes recording each studio album and how the band's sound evolved with contributions from the producers and engineers the band worked with on their studio albums. Exclusive to this Backstage Edition are 4 bonus lithos! There is also a $250 7LP version and a $100 4 CD version. As a fan and a collector this is tempting, but really nothing I find worthwhile to make me want to fork out the additional bucks to make one of these part of my collection. What thinks the rest of you?

Even if it is Rush, live albums are a hard sell for me. Reissued live albums as a set with a couple of edits or extra songs are not super-tempting for me.

Pass. We were all waiting for the Grace Deluxe Anniversary Edition, and it didn't happen.

I thought hard about the 7-LP set but really nothing there that peaks my interest. The main issue with Rush is there really is nothing in the "vault". About all I can see getting is different live shows throughout the touring career. I have several Rush live albums already.
But am always looking at what my fav band of all time might release.
