AFTK is the one classic Rush album I quite dislike. Give me Signals any day...

I am shocked by the hate for Cygnus X-1 Book 1. It's an obvious classic imo.
As for Signals being a classic, we can all have our own personal favourites (one person, the only female prog junkie I personally know actually, thinks Roll The Bones is their best album) but "officially" I think the Rush canon of classics is pretty much agreed to be 2112 to Moving Pictures and nothing on either side of that. I will say that since Vapor Trails they seem to be experiencing a thoroughly unexpected late career renaissance. I hope Clockwork Angels continues that. |

You know these are the only two Rush albums I have and after reading this thread I have to conclude that they are both crap and I should throw them out and never get any more Rush albums.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Even though I don't fully agree to the text in bold, it probably is the answer to your own question. Albums on this site don't get 5 stars for being cheesy, or for containing pop songs. It wasn't named ProgArchives just because it sounds cool... |

No......I like both albums very much and I play them almost weekly (along with many others in their catalog). Hemisphere is "half of a sphere".......my made up title is just the "King" acknowledging these 2 coming together as they should....in my world
I am perfectly fine with what Rush have done over the past 35 yrs.

Catcher: A day or two before actually.
Angelo: Couldn't be more wrong about the cheese. A lot of PA members love their cheese. |
