Moving Pictures.
Hemispheres and Permanent Waves are also excellent. |

I'm probably alone on this one, but for me, Rush's best album is Counterparts. My reasoning:
1. It's a musically strong album from start to (almost) finish, marred only slightly by "Everyday Glory." 2. The playing is outstanding, as usual, but Neil is deserving of special mention for his work on "Alien Shore," a song that Rush have never played live due in part, I believe, to the difficulty of the drumming: 3. I find that Neil's lyrics are at their best when dealing with the human condition, so devoting an entire album to songs about relationships was perhaps the smartest lyrical move, in my opinion. 4. It sounds great--unlike the previous two albums produced by Rupert Hine, but much like the two before that, which were also produced by Peter Collins--and is (again, in my opinion) the best-engineered (recorded/mixed/mastered) album in Rush's entire catalogue. 5. The minimalist album art is timeless: ![]() I don't expect you to agree with me, but I hope you can understand from where I'm coming. |

It's a very close 2nd or 3rd best for me. I waffle back and forth between Moving Pictures, p/g, and Counterparts as to my favorite Rush album. Today I picked p/g, I tend to listen to that album the most. But ask me again tomorrow and I might pick Moving Pictures or Counterparts.

No votes for Power Windows? I'll give it one. It's been one of my favorites lately.

I'd agree with you mostly. Counterparts is easily in my top 5. |

Counterparts is one of my favorite Rush albums (a soundtrack of my youth).
"Everyday Glory" is not a flaw- it's a brilliant ending to the album. |

A great track, though I don't think the drumming is any more complicated than a lot of other Rush tracks that they routinely play live.

If anything, I think "Double Agent" is the failure on Counterparts.
