This. Permanent Waves would be my second choice, and A Farewell to Kings third. I'm not a fan of Moving Pictures except for Tom Sawyer and YYZ; it's bland and uninteresting imo. -------------  |

Moving Pictures, with PW in second. Not incredibly fond of the other two, though when it comes to Rush I pretty much like all of it to some degree.

A Farewell to Kings contains their best track ever (Xanadu), the others I consider masterpiece albums with Hemispheres having the lead, closely followed by Moving Pictures. -------------

Went with "A Farewell to Kings". It was my 1st Rush album and I remember being completely blown away by the finish to Cygnus X-1 and the disturbing/disquieting chord arpeggios on the fade out. Brilliant way to end an album and still gives me the chills. ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Permanent Waves is probably my favourite Rush album, so that. That whole early 80's era was just prime. Some of greatest tunes laided on track. -------------

Their best period! I vote for my first Rush album, Hemispheres, which is still one of my favorites. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Hemispheres is one of those albums that gets far too much praise for my liking. La Villa Strangiato and The Trees are superb but the rest I don't care for. The excellent Permanent Waves seems like a rehearsal for the all time classic and unique Moving Pictures. One of the last truly great moments in prog history. I really like Farewell To Kings as well which is Rush's second best album imo.

It is difficult, but I revert to Moving Pictures as my favourite Rush album. A perfect blend of hard rock, progressive rock, and power pop/rock. Genius. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org |

I love all these albums, but the songs "Vital Signs," "The Camera Eye" and "Limelight" (with one of my favorite guitar solos ever) are the reasons I go for Moving Pictures over Hemispheres' Side 1 and the superb Permanent Waves. Alex's best guitar tone ever, too (followed up by Geddy's best-ever bass tone on Signals). ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
