A lot of people say "Snakes and Arrows" is their best album since "Power Windows"
This should be a close poll

I like both, but went with Snakes & Arrows. I like it just a bit more. But I do agree Micky that I like Counterparts better than those two. In fact, that is probably one of my favorite Rush albums. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

I enjoy Snakes & Arrows but PW wins hands down for me. |

Don't find it hard at all - I consider Snakes & Arrows the best since Moving Pictures. ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

| Was listening to S&A yesterday and I decided its a pretty good CD with about 6 very good songs but the music isn`t as involving as Power Windows (exclude remark for main monkey, thats great stuff) perhaps the songs are better but its the music that counts I think ... went power windows though its close |

Could you elaborate a bit? I'm not really sure what you mean by that. Anyways, I went with Snakes and Arrows, though it was definitely a tough choice. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Ty1020/">

No comparison.
PW has classic elements: prog, epic, sonically, and OMG the BASS lines!
SNA is, at best, a good Pop Rock CD.

It takes time for an album so new to be as classic as Power Windows. It is still too soon to determine. I strongly feel that S&A will be one of Rush's best post MP releases. They haven't been this creative in well over 20 years. -------------

As much as I enjoy Snakes and Arrows- I have to go with Power Windows. Some of those songs on PW are just CLASSIC. ------------- |

| S & A for me - PW has some good songs, but others are rather forgettable. I do agree with my better half, though, that "Counterparts" is probably even better than S & A. |

| I agree with the ones that say that PW has some classic songs and in my case i´m very use to that record so i gave it my vote, but i have to wait for S&A to grow in me, a good album though. |

Well have not listened to Snakes and Arrows. Somebody just gave it to me and I'm afraid to waste an hour of my time listening too it after the last 25 years of tripe. And Power Windows bites big proggy bananas. So I guess I'll listen to S & A and vote in a couple weeks. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Easy choice for me; Snakes and Arrows.
Power windows is one of my least played Rush albums.
