Posted: September 29 2016 at 06:53 |
My list would go: 1.HEMISPHERES 2.Permanent Waves 3.A Farewell to Kings 4.Moving Pictures(for which I always find that is the much more praised album than it deserves) 5.2112.

1. RUSH
2. Caress
3. Perm Waves
4. Moving Pics
5. Fly By Night
HM. 2112 and Grace Under Pressure
Some may scoff at this but my use for Rush at this point is not "proggiest" but "asskickness". These are the albums that most kick mine. It's also a snapshot only as I find the order of these changes over time.

I am including a live album because I am not much into live albums, but I listen to Exit...Stage Left as much as any studio album. If I remove the live album, I would add either Caress of Steel, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures, or Grace Under Pressure.
1) Hemispheres
2) A Farewell to Kings
3) Exit...Stage Left
4) 2112
5) Fly by Night

At this point, after being a Rush fan for 35+ years, any top 5 list (I'm gonna do a top 7 list because I can't stop at 5) for me has to be made up of what I still listen to on a consistent basis. Certain records like 2112, Fly By Night, and Roll The Bones, just to name a few, don't get that much play anymore. The following ones do and represent my favorite Rush albums. These are the discs that I will spin and listen to in their entirety.
1 - Hemispheres 2 - A Farewell To Kings 3 - Power Windows 4 - Caress Of Steel 5 - Permanent Waves 6 - Hold Your Fire 7 - Presto
After that comes albums that I still listen to fairly often but usually skip certain songs.
Moving Pictures Signals Test For Echo Counterparts
All the other studio albums fall into the "only listen to them when the mood strikes me" category I rarely listen to the live albums.

Maybe it's just the timing, since Signals came out at the time I was reaching the right age to be able to appreciate it. But that album has always been one of my favorites. I also kinda like Vapor Trails.
Other than that, I guess it would be usual suspects.

I'm with you on Exit...Stage Left. One of my first Rush albums and still one of my faves just for the sheer variety of tunes and the extra emotional punch the group tends to deliver in a live setting.
My top-5 albums...
1. Exit...Stage Left 2. Permanent Waves 3. Moving Pictures 4. Grace Under Pressure 5. 2112
I think the group peaked in terms of whole-album composition with Permanent Waves but virtually every album has its charms.

This is tough. I am an unapologetic Rush freak and I love just about all of their albums. Here’s my list today. Maybe tomorrow it’ll be different. I’ll leave out their amazing live albums.
1. Hemispheres 2. Grace Under Pressure 3. Permanent Waves 3. Moving Pictures 4. 2112 5. Fly By Night
Honorable mentions that may replace any of these on any given day:
A Farewell To Kings Power Windows Caress Of Steel Signals Clockwork Angels Counterparts Snakes And Arrows Vapor Trails Rush
