I imagine I'll be alone in voting for Counterparts. Neil's lyrics are at their Neiliest, the music rocks hard, and the production sounds great.

I love Counterparts, especially 'Stick it Out'.

All in all, they gave prog a rush job. Big fan, though.

I agree with this although i'd add 2112 to the mix.

Get out. Now.

2112 because it was my first a lot of years ago and the first side is astonishing.

Depends on what you mean by "total annihilation".

Learned to appreciate Rush with Hold Your Fire... (i'm a late bloomer at an old age)...

But I've grown to turn into a Rush zombie listening to Hemispheres. Hemispheres is EPIC!

listen to streaming stuff! no commercials!

I would say they were largely a young persons band, still true for their early stuff: If you aren't a fan by the time you're about 21, you probably never will be, and the band somehow made progrock exciting and immediate rather than some English guys and their turgid rock symphonies.

God I love that description....you made my day!! LOL

So do I. I became a fan at the age of 21, just before Moving Pictures was released

Probably '75 for me, I was 11 when I heard Fly By Night, 2112 really hooked me and both A Passage To Bangkok and Something For Nothing got huge plays.

Permanent Waves on the whole. I enjoy the whole thing, whereas usually there's a track or two on every other Rush album I'm not fond of. Entire discography is strong throughout really however.
