My choice of Rush albums is almost the polar opposite of yours. Here is my list of favorite Rush studio recordings from least favorite to favorite:
19. Rush 18. Fly By Night 17. 2112 16. Caress Of Steel 15. Grace Under Pressure 14. Vapor Trails 13. A Farewell To Kings 12. Counterparts 11. Hold Your Fire 10. Test For Echo 09. Hemispheres 08. Snakes & Arrows 07. Signals 06. Permanent Waves 05. Moving Pictures 04. Clockwork Angels 03. Power Windows 02. Presto 01. Roll The Bones As far as my favorite Rush live albums are concerned, this is the order: 10. All The World’s A Stage 09. Rush In Rio 08. A Show Of Hands 07. Time Machine Tour: Live In Cleveland 06. Different Strings 05. Snakes & Arrows Live 04. R30 03. R40 Live 02. Clockwork Angels Tour 01. Exit... Stage Left |

I don’t know every single Rush album, however, I know that Hold Your Fire should be in the top half of rankings........

^Why a Farewell is eleventh when Hemispheres is sixth? You know they´re both my big Rush favourites and I have found a lot in common in them. And first album better than Farewell?

1. Moving Pictures A+
2. Grace Under Pressure A 3. Caress of Steel A- 4. Permanent Waves A- 5. Fly By Night B+ 6. Hemispheres B+ 7. 2112 B+ 8. Hold Your Fire B+ 9. Rush B 10. Signals B 11. A Farewell to Kings B 12. Clockwork Angels B- 13. Counterparts B- Don’t know the others well enough to say. But as by letter grades show, even the lower ranking albums are well above average for me.

Wow, this is rather similar to mine. I could actually get behind this list too although I might rank Clockwork Angels slightly higher. Then again you are missing a few others so if you heard them maybe CA would stay where it is.

^ I love Rush and I don't think they ever did a bad or weak album, but I'd put Vapor Trails at the bottom, too if (or better said when) I'll try to make my list :)

I'm guessing you're trying to make a point, but I can't figure out what it is. Sorry. |
