Grace, hugely. My fave of the 80s by far. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

| Both albums are quite good. However, Signals has Subdivisions, Countdown and The Weapon that I rate ahead of any track on Grace Under Pressure. |

more of a Signals man these days... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Grace Under Pressure ahead of Moving Pictures and Permanent Waves, two other 80s releases. You don't see that everyday. |

Signals, as it brings back great memories of my later HS years. I saw that tour as well at the great LA Forum. Subdivisions is such a great song........That being said GUP is no slouch either. -------------

For the poll, in my head I was thinking Signals-forward when using the words "by far." But you raise a good point that the two previous albums were also 80s. Taking those two albums into the mix, I would drop the words "by far," yet still I prefer Grace over both of them. Such consistency, punch, and quality songwriting. It is my clear favorite post-Hemispheres and near the top of my overall list. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

GUP. It smells like the fabric of an AACR2 steamroller. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

I confess my ignorance ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Signals because it has Subdivisions, while Grace Under Pressure does not. Also, I personally can't stand the overprocessed electronic drum sound on GUP. -------------

Signals, by far. It's timeless, future-focused, and the best album they ever did. Grace Under Pressure is the most "dated" Rush album. It's not bad, but it's just "kind of there". If it disappeared tomorrow, I wouldn't miss it. |
