2112 Moving Pictures, Hemispheres and A Farewell to Kings are also excellent |

| 2112 was the first Rush album i purchased. I have always loved it but I think that Hemsipheres followed by Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures are the best. Really, all the albums between 2112 and Signals are among my favorites. |

| None of their studio albums are remotely as good as they were live, where they were brilliant. Therefore I go for All the World's a Stage, the only album I think deserves 5 stars. Fly by Night comes closest of the studio albums. |

| Has always been 'Exit stage left', they were and are still always a live band, the close of the 70's and early 80's they were at their pinnacle. I just love 'Jacobs ladder' and 'Xanadu' on this album.. |

Hemispheres and Farewell to Kings are imo the best prog metal has to offer. Fly by Night and 2112 are two of the best Hard Rock albums of all times, and Moving pictures + Permanent Waves are the greatest albums of the eighties. Rush proved that prog could rock as hard as anything else.  It's way to hard make a choice.  -------------

Oh geez... Rush through Signals are all great albums, but I'm going to have to go with Hemispheres. C'mon, Cygnus Book II, the Trees, LA VILLA STRANGIATO?!?!? It's great! Although I was about thiiiiiiiiis close to voting for Farewell to Kings... that's a great albums as well. Ooh, wait, I forgot about the live 'uns. My favorite live record is Rio, but I'll still go with Hemispheres... ------------- THE DEMON CODE PREVENTS ME FROM DECLINING A ROCK-OFF CHALLENGE!!! |

I don't have every Rush album but I would chose 2112. The song is
incredible and the backing tracks are very good as well. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

I definitely like the early stuff most, up to 2112 (the suite only)... although "Counterparts" is very cool, too. ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

Love all Rush albums till Moving Picturs, but A Farewel was my introduction to Rush world and I will never forget how my neighbour "teach" me how to pay atention to Geddy and Peart. But with the exception of some weak 80s albums, I do love all Rush albums, from the hard rocker Rush to Vapor Trails. |

LOL!!! How on earth did AFTK manage such a big lead in this poll??? It's one of the weakest records in the Rush discography as far as I'm concerned, with or without Xanadu. Give me something like Test For Echo over this album anyday. I will go for Permanent Waves; near perfection is this gem. In terms of proggy Rush, nothing really comes close to Hemispheres. ------------- I was made to love magic |

| Given that FTK is winning by a large margin, it seems odd that this album is behind Moving Pictures and Hemispheres in the PA Top 100. I assume it's to do with the number of reviews. |

I voted A Farwell to Kings. Frankly anything from Fly By Night through Permanent Waves offered some great Prog music. Not to put Moving Pictures off, but I never really considered it Progressive. I know the band wanted to grow musicaly and stretch themselves, but I never cared for anything after Signals very much. ------------- "To seek the sacred river Alph, To walk the caves of ice, To break my fast on honey dew, And drink the milk of paradise..." |

I have voted for Signals by Rush, although this isn't their best album
it has a lot of sentimental value for me as I have a lot of memories
associated with this album.

Hemispheres for total album consistency. The others I considered were A Farewell to Kings, 2112 and Moving Picture (which would probably be more popular on this site if less popular with mainstream radio audiences). I can't believe all the votes for Signals, though. I would definitely go with the above as well as Permanent Waves over Signals and then put Signals in the next tier. |
