 Topic: Top 5 Rush Albums
Posted: March 20 2010 at 20:03 |
In name of Rush's great introduction to the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in Canada I believe it's top to name your top 5 fav's
1) 2112
2) Hemispheres
3) Signals
4) A Farewell to Kings
5) Permanent Waves
(Moving Pictures is easily tied for 5 but personally I feel as if the album is too commerical... oh well)

Beginning with number five:
5. Presto OR Counterparts (really tough choice)
4. Test for Echo  (that's right)
3. Permanent Waves
2. Hemispheres
1. Vapor Trails (that's right)

Been listening to a ton of Rush lately, so this is pretty good timing. What I find I'm really admiring is the complexity they put into their 80s/synthesizer/"commercial" period. There are a ton of little things to find if you're looking for them. They are one of the few bands who moved towards synth-sounds and tighter/shorter songs that did so without losing anything.
1) Grace Under Pressure 2) Permanent Waves 3) A Farewell to Kings 4) 2112 (Didn't realize this until recently, but side 2 of this kicks ass! "The Twilight Zone", "A Passage to Bangkok"!) 5) Moving Pictures

This is insane. If a madman pointed a gun at my hand and asked me what my top five favorite Rush albums were, I'd f***ing die.
...
Still...here's my attempt at a top eight (four? depends on how you look at it)....
1. Moving Pictures
1. Hemispheres
2. Fly By Night
2. Permanent Waves
2. 2112
2. A Farewell to Kings
3. Signals
4. Presto

May vary depending on the day of the week. Actually it strikes me as a rather uninteresting assortment
