Although here on Prog Archives, the two most popular Rush albums are Hemispheres and A Farewell to Kings, the two most popular Rush albums with the general public have been 2112 and Moving Pictures. So, which of these are your favorite? Personally, I think 2112 is overrated, but I absolutely love Moving Pictures.

Moving Pics by light years.....2112 is one of the weaker classic albums imo
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...Road Rage Edition

I'm gonna go with 2112. I've always found Moving Pictures a bit overrated. I love Limelight and I have a fondness for Vital Signs no one else seems to share, but I am forever baffled at the popularity of Tom Sawyer.

Moving Pictures is overall much better, although it is hard to beat 2112 by itself.

I love first sides of both albums, but I just don't like MP second side while I like 2112 second side. So 2112. And I find Moving Pictures to be overrated.

As a teenager at the time, it was my most played song off that album.....I loved it. Hearing it live last year was a major treat.

The highest-rated album is in fact Moving Pictures with 4.40.

I prefer Moving Pictures, but I'm not a big Rush fan, so what do I know? Wink

Moving Pictures of course! 2112 suite is good, but the rest is average stuff.

Moving Pictures is the best Rush album with Hemispheres a close second.
 
2112? About 5th.

2112 for me. Although the second side is rather weak. But the 2112 suite on the first side is enough for me to have the winner...

Although the 2112 suite is one of my favourite Rush songs and probably better than any song on Moving Pictures, the rest of the album isn't that good, the only song there i find pretty good is Passage to Bangkok, and the rest ranges from simply bad to okay. But on Moving Pictures most songs are great and the worst song is just good, so i vote for Moving Pictures.
