They're not bad, but the least good.

1. Caress of Steel
2. Test for Echo
3. Presto (kinda liked it the last time I listened to it, though. The Pass and Available Light are great at least)
4. Vapor Trails (the songs are good, the sound not so much so)
5. Fly by Night

As a PERSONAL point of view, I must say('preparing to run') that the CLASSIC ALBUM era is the "worst", actually I dislike..

My faves are the first 4 albums, plus Farewell...No need to purchase others.. Caress 2112 Fly by Night Rush Farewell

  • Counterparts
  • Presto
  • Vapor Trails
  • Snakes And Ladders
  • Grace Under Pressure
I don't include Feedback as it is an EP.

That was hard though.

Some of peoples worst five are my top five. Unhappy

I love Rush, but if I had to list my least favorite albums...

1)Rush
2)Feedback

Only two I could do without, all others are essential.

Even though Presto is my least favorite (in part because of how tinny it sounds), The Pass is a great song.

The only Rush album I'd really call flat-out awful is Presto.

Oh, I forgot about Feedback. Utter disaster.

Anything after Grace Under Pressure excluding Vapor Trails. I'd have trouble filling up a single CD of songs I like post-1984.

Edit: And to make an additional point, it's not the 80s sound I don't care about. I adore 80s Genesis and a good amount of 80s pop. I just think 80s Rush post-GUP is no good to me. As for the 90s albums... well, they're 90s.

1. Hold Your Fire
2. Power Windows
3. Grace Under Pressure
4. Counterparts
5. Presto

Those are definitely their weakest in my opinion.  From Grace under pressure to Presto the production on all the album sounds too 80's and there's not many great songs, although there are some really good one on Presto. All the albums before those are classics of course, and all the ones after I think their great (except maybe Counterparts), although not as prog as the others, but who cares? I don't.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

I can't even think of 5 Rush albums I dislike.  The only studio album I haven't heard anything from is Test For Echo, and from all the Rush albums I own, I guess my least favorite is Grace Under Pressure.
