I can only name 1 I don't like:
Presto.

The rest are just lovely.

5. Roll the Bones/Counterparts (Damn, these albums would be good if the better song from both were combined and made into something not unlike Presto)
4. Feedback (Uggghhh.. I don't EVER want to hear another cover of Summertime Blues again.)
3. Vapor Trails (I maybe like one song. Maybe.)
2. Snakes and Arrows (One listen in enough.)
1. Rush (Not another Led Zep cover band!)

I can't believe all the Presto hate. Presto is great from start to finish! Sure it's no 2112 or Moving Pictures.
Then again, my favorite Rush album is Grace Under Pressure/

I agree they are terrible really. But take the best tracks from these and form one album and you have a winner.
 
What is actually good from Presto I wonder? Any ideas?

In no order..

Rush
Test for Echo
Vapour Trails
Hold Your Fire
Roll the Bones

Overall least favorite is Vapour Trails, but I dont think they've ever made a 'bad' album, as such. These are merely my least fave from a generally excellent back catalogue.

I'm quite surprised to see Presto slated so much. The production is a little weak, but there are some gems on that album, especially The Pass and Available Light.

I can only name three it seems: Hold Your Fire, Test For Echo and by far Vapor Trails. The next would be worse than the great Rush albums, but they're essentially good Rush.

Would be those three for me too. But only TFE and VT leaves me relatively cold, even though they have some killer tracks.

that occurred to me, Alan...
 
but more immediately, this is the n00b's first post...they haven't introduced themselves, or said anything constructive...merely decided to criticise the later output of one of this site's staple bands...Ouch
 
the word 'flamer' springs to mind....Wink

I hadn't noticed that Jared. It's always a good way to start in the forum, doing a "worst of" on one of the top bands. LOL

I actually like Rush. Smile
 
Of course "five worst" (and your listing of six) implies that more than five are at least "bad."
 
Heck of a way to break the ice here, on your first post....Ermm
