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?  ------------- “War is peace.

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.

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 |

| About the Rush live albums I prefer All the World´s a Stage. Exit...Stage Left has of course better song material, but it sounds much lesser live album to me. And I really don´t care at all the other Rush-lives, specially R40 is painful listening experience (because Geddy´s todays voice). |

1. A Show of Hands 2. Grace Under Pressure 3. Power Windows 4. Counterparts 5. Hold Your Fire 6. Presto 7. 2112 8. Exit... Stage Left 9. Signals The rest (I don't really care for their 70's hardrockstuff, but Exit..Stage Left is a great live-compilation, all I need from that era).

I agree. Everyone wants Rush back touring but I can't handle Geddy not being able to sing the old songs the way they deserve to be sung. I wish they had released a live album pre-Moving Pictures.

The important thing for me to point out is that, on a Rush list, a low relative ranking is in no way indicative of a bad album! 1. Moving Pictures (A+) 2. 2112 (A+) 3. Hemispheres (A+) 4. Permanent Waves (A+) 5. A Farewell to Kings (A+) 6. Signals (A) 7. Hold Your Fire (A) 8. Power Windows (A) 9. Clockwork Angels (A) 10. Roll the Bones (A) 11. Fly By Night (A-) 12. Snakes and Arrows (A-) 13. Rush (A-) 14. Caress of Steel (A-) 15. Test for Echo (B+) 16. Vapor Trails(B+) 17. Grace Under Pressure (B+) 18. Presto (B) 19. Counterparts (B-)

Maybe an odd number 1 here as many find it uneven (and not prog nor hardrock anymore ayayay!) Well it was my introduction to them around 1983 and they ruled my playlist for the next 10 years or so. 1977-1980 finds them at a peak but the albums are too uneven imo. Really, Cinderella Man, Entre Nous... What were they thinking? 4-5 star stuff: 1) Signals 2) Moving Pictures 3) Hemispheres 4) Fly by Night 5) A Farewell to Kings 6) 2112 3-4 star stuff 7) Power Windows 8) Permanent Waves 9) Counterparts 10) Grace Under Pressure 11) Rush 12) Caress of Steel 3 down to 2 stars 13) Vapor Trails 14) Snakes & Arrows 15) Hold Your Fire 16) Test for Echo 17) Roll the Bones18) Presto 19) Clockwork Angels |

I started listening to Rush two years ago. They are not among my favorites. But I only partially know their discography. From what I see in the Top 100 of PA and in your comments, they are a group that has not recorded a masterpiece recognized by all (or almost) as their best ever (such as Close to the Edge for Yes or In the Court of .. for KC). It seems to me that they have recorded at least 4-5 records that are competing as their absolute masterpiece. ------------- "Happiness is real only when shared" |

Yea, I'm in it for the metal/hard rock and the folksy, mystical proggy stuff. In fact, a good deal of Hemispheres leaves me cold...and it shouldn't really be on my list. Yea, I couldn't put Rush higher than 3 because the next two were just killer hard rock albums.

I was already a huge Rush fan when Signals came out and I hated it at the time. But over the next few years, I shed my preconceptions of what a Rush albumbshould sound like, and I came to see it as no less brilliant than any other Rush album. Plus I was a bassist and my band did a couple songs from the album. New World Man is really fun for a bassist. |

Both spots are a great topic as to why.......But I can see how someone might rate Roll the Bones fairly high. That is a sleeper album, if you sit and listen to that album it is excellent. For me it would never rank higher than AFTK, but I can see it rather high on my list. -------------

I have, since it was released in fact. My opinion of it has only gone down over the last couple decades. Dreamline is great and a couple other songs are okay but overall "sleeper" is a great description of what it does to me when I spin it.

Well I really enjoy RTB, Ghost Of A Chance is an excellent song.....the last song is a dud. -------------
