Mine has actually changed from what it was when the tourny started, sa I have gotten some things on CD that I didn't have before.....
As of today I would say I would eliminate them this way:
Vapor Trails
Rush
Roll The Bones
Caress of Steel
Presto
Hold Your Fire
Fly By Night
Test For Echo
Grace Under Pressure
Power Windows
Counterparts
Signals
2112
Moving Pictures
Permanent Waves
Hemispheres
and the last album standing would have been...
A Farewell To Kings
However, I add this caviat...
They are really all very good to great albums, these rankings are only relative to each other!
BTW the only reason VT is so low on the list is due to the crappy prduction. I just have such a hard time listening to it without geting a headache- seriously. I can take the songs one at a time and I like most of them, but I have a hard time ranking an album highly that I can't listen to in one setting straight through... ------------- Facebook hashtags: #100greatestprogrockchallenge #scottssongbysong #scottsspotlight |

I can't do a list like that, been into Rush for such a long time...
My three least favorites are, in order :
Test for Echo
Roll The Bones
Rush.

Asking me to order those albums is plain evil. I'll not offend one Rush album to bolster up another!!! I will say that the S/T album would not be at the bottom (or top as the case may be) of the list. |

My order:
1: Rush, Presto, Vapor Trails, Test For Echo, Hold Your Fire, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows (one nuke eliminates that whole bundle for me) 2: Roll The Bones
3: Moving Pictures 4: Counterparts 5: Permanent Waves 6: Signals 7: Hemispheres 8: Fly by NIght 9: Caress of Steel the winner... the only Rush album that really stands with the giants of prog A Farewell to Kings (FABULOUS album) ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

| Not really part of the topic but has anyone ever heard whether or not Vapor Trails will ever be remastered? |
