2. A Farewell to Kings
3. Permanent Waves
4. 2112
5. Caress of Steel
6. Clockwork Angels
7. Moving Pictures

interesting choices....in some ways quite similar, in others quite different.

surprised that the debut LP is so low down in some ways (though agree it is 100% rock not prog)

Looking at the thread elsewhere in progarchives it is clear that rush fans have a diverse view of the best and worst albums.

I've tried to be consistent in my assessment while recognising that this is entirely subjective and 'just for fun/interest'.

How would you rank them?

My rationale was to give extra credit for albums containing 'classics' that materially added to the Rush canon as well as some degree of separation based on the good album tracks, fillers and songs you wish they'd never laid down....
anyway this was my choice.

1 Moving Pictures
2 2112
3 A Farewell to kings
4 Permanent Waves
5 fly By Night
6 Rush
7 Hemispheres
8 Power Windows
9 Hold Your Fire
10 Clockwork angels
11 Caress of steel
12 Vapor Trails
13 Snakes & arrows
14 Signals
15 Counterparts
16 Presto
17 roll the Bones
18 Grace
19 Feedback
