Another year for Cardiacs-Rush albums.
Here are the two longest tracks from each album for those not familiar with both albums: Which rocks your world more? Edited by Logan - May 23 2021 at 21:45 |

Thought about including that option, but decided not to as it can come across to some as unnecessarily negative. I actually was thinking that can't decide possibly could work for that option. Question: Which album do you prefer? Answer: I can't decide on that as I passionately despise both albums so very much [insert reasons here]. :) Edited by Logan - May 24 2021 at 00:07 |

I actually don't like either album here and literally cannot choose one from them that I like slightly more than the other lol.

Sing to God.
One of Cardiacs best. But I'm almost afraid to praise them at all on this site for fear of being burned at the stake

This is not such an easy decision as the other poll, as I rather like Test For Echo. But it still didn’t take too much time or thought to decide it was Cardiacs again.

By the way, I've mentioned this before, but the 180 Gs (David Minnick) covered the whole Sing to God album with Singin' to God a cappella style and I think it's great in its own way. Also did a the Residents cover album. Here is the Singin'to God album playlist as uploaded by David Minnick (the man behind it) https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOwe-ErrEN0xprxPLEGq-JiQQbuy8cSLs

Rush still didn't win me over again with this one, and this is a great Cardiacs album, so easy choice.
Don't worry, you're not alone. And every three months Logan is putting up a poll "Cardiacs vs. [other famous prog band]" so in six years he can declare that Cardiacs are actually the best prog band ever!  |

Oh damn, my MO had been exposed. it's a long game, but will be worth it when I can show them all with hard poll evidence what should already be known. One thing I will avoid is putting Cardiacs up against other greats such as Can. Now just wait for my Cardiacs vs. Dream Theater poll. Edited by Logan - May 24 2021 at 01:55 |

Nah, Cardiacs seem to be well received by the people here. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I don't think you are in any trouble. In fact I might be in trouble for liking post Moving Pictures Rush.

A lot of post Moving Pictures Rush is better than Moving Pictures. Test For Echo is one of those. |

I overplayed Moving Pictures. Solid album, I rarely listen to it these days. Signals is one album i am very fond of, one of my go to Rush albums these days.

I never really got into Moving Pictures, so it’s not been overplayed by me, so much as just not played. It was actually my first Rush album, but if 2112 hadn’t been my second, I’m not sure I’d have bought any other. I don’t think Moving Pictures is overrated, as there must be something about it that makes it an album that is still acclaimed as one of their best, but whatever that something is, it never really did it for me. Signals is easily my favourite of this early ‘80s Rush era, for sure. 👍🏻 |
