   And Hemispheres is the last album standing......

In what order would you have eliminated the albums if you had your way?

	Mine has actually changed from what it was when the tourny started, sa I have gotten some things on CD that I didn't have before..... As of today I would say I would eliminate them this way: Vapor Trails Rush Roll The Bones Caress of Steel Presto Hold Your Fire Fly By Night Test For Echo Grace Under Pressure Power Windows Counterparts Signals 2112 Moving Pictures Permanent Waves Hemispheres and the last album standing would have been... A Farewell To Kings However, I add this caviat... They are really all very good to great albums, these rankings are only relative to each other! BTW the only reason VT is so low on the list is due to the crappy prduction. I just have such a hard time listening to it without geting a headache- seriously. I can take the songs one at a time and I like most of them, but I have a hard time ranking an album highly that I can't listen to in one setting straight through...

	I can't do a list like that, been into Rush for such a long time... My three least favorites are, in order : Test for Echo Roll The Bones Rush. That's all I can do !

Hold Your Fire (least favourite) Caress Of Steel Rush Presto Roll The Bones Vapor Trails (the best of the comparatively weaker ones, imho) Power Windows Grace Under Pressure Fly By Night Counterparts Signals Hemispheres Permanent Waves 2112 Moving Pictures A Farewell To Kings(most favourite)

	I would eliminate Permanent Waves, Presto and Vapor Trails, and keep the rest.

	Asking me to order those albums is plain evil. I'll not offend one Rush album to bolster up another!!! I will say that the S/T album would not be at the bottom (or top as the case may be) of the list.

	My order: 1: Rush, Presto, Vapor Trails, Test For Echo, Hold Your Fire, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows (one nuke eliminates that whole bundle for me) 2: Roll The Bones 3: Moving Pictures 4: Counterparts 5: Permanent Waves 6: Signals 7: Hemispheres 8: Fly by NIght 9: Caress of Steel the winner... the only Rush album that really stands with the giants of prog A Farewell to Kings (FABULOUS album)

	Not really part of the topic but has anyone ever heard whether or not Vapor Trails will ever be remastered?
