I love everything from 2112 through Signals, and I don't have a distinct all-time favorite, but I will vote for my current favorite, A Farewell to Kings. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

Pound for pound, Permanent Waves is probably my fave, although its a tight call with several others around the same period... ...Natural Science is my fave track of all time by Rush... ------------- 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 |

'Moving Picture's' is the only Rush album I can play without skipping a few tracks so it gets my vote!

| the rush post-ATWIAS til EEL is the best one. My fav album of this time is the one that introduces me to the Rush world - A Farewell to kings. But either Hemispheres or Caress of Steel (to mention an old album_ could be easily inducted as the best Rush LP. |

| Moving Picture's is their best album for consistency and I even like Geddy Lee's singing on that one! |

i LOVE all of rush's albums, but to me, farewell to kings is the best all around album, with 2112 as a close second. 2112 is easily my favorite 20 minute epic of prog in general :D |

Lots of very good choices. For me, It's gotta be Power Wi ndows. Every track is excellent. ------------- David - Never doubt in the dark that which you believe to be true in the light. http://www.myspace.com/aardvarktxusa - Instrumental rock http://www.soundclick.com/aardvarktxusa |

2112 through Signals are all-time classics and wonderful masterpieces. My favorite though - Hemispheres (at least it is this week ) |

| A Farewell to Kings & Hemispheres are, to me, are the pinnacle of their work. |

Many albums have perfect performance but these are the most inspired IMHO: Hemispheres AFTK Power Windows (underrated!) |

The BEST one is the next one to be released. Each album, at one time or another, has been a "favorite". I can't wait for their next. ------------- Ad hoc, ad loc and quid pro quo. So little time, so much to know. |
