 Topic: Ranking Rush AlbumsPosted: April 08 2018 at 17:24 |

Hey guys, this post and list was extremely difficult for me to make considering I am a huge fan of this band and that I think so many of their albums are just amazing works. All things considered however I made a list and I was wondering how you guys would rank your favorite albums by this band (Rush). Make a list if you can. Here is mine
19) Test for Echo 18) Roll the Bones 17) Presto 16) Vapor Trails 15) Counterparts 14) Snakes & Arrows 13) Clockwork Angels 12) Rush 11) Fly by Night 10) Caress of Steel 9) Signals 8) Hold Your Fire 7) Grace Under Pressure 6) Power Windows 5) 2112 4) Permanent Waves 3) Moving Pictures 2) Hemispheres And 1) A Farewell to Kings How would you make your list?

I'm not going to participate only because there's a few later albums that I'm not very familiar with.
