10-4 - the wrong one is going out (but I would have written that if it was 4-10 as well  )

| A Farewell to Kings contains great stuff such as Xanadu and Cygnus X-1, but is more inegal than Hemispheres. So I vote for AFTK. |

AFTK is my favorite Rush album, but Hemispheres is very close.......
So I voted to eliminate Hemispheres, but these are the two best!
I want to thank everyone who has been taking part in this tournament! It has been a lot of fun!
I just barely even got this post up yesterday, as I had a very busy day at school annd had to leave right after the students were dismissed to go to a meeting of music teachers in my county. I just kinda threw it up there and left for the meeting.
Deciding on the next tournament now....

Been out of it longer than I thought...
Tough decision, but since 2 of my favorite Rush tracks, Xanadu and Cygnus-X1 are on AFTK, I eliminate Hemispheres. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |

Not to be a wet blanket but we went through all of this to find out that Hemispheres is the best and that album happens to be the highest rated studio album as rated by the PA system.

Yeah...but wasn't it fun?
Plus the round isn't over yet....the gap is closing...
Also you could say that this validates the other ratings
 I can find the positive in most things ------------- Facebook hashtags: #100greatestprogrockchallenge #scottssongbysong #scottsspotlight |

Hemispheres is not quite as good as AFTK! ------------- In the constellation of cygnus,There lurks a mysterious force...The black hole |

Umm, Moving Pictures is the highest rated Rush album in the top 100. |

Welcome back then, and your reasoning is similar to mine...The gap is only 3 votes in advantage of Hemispheres - would be nice to have it a slight bit tighter before the poll closes tomorrow. ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.
