Tough choice as I really enjoy all 3 albums pretty much equally. But I picked CoS, if you think about the fact that CoS was released 1 yr after the debut, to go from Zeppelin/Who/Cream to The Necromancer and Fountain of Lamneth......awesome!

Fly By Night just edges out Caress of Steel - mainly because of By-Tor and the Snow Dog

I think that rush improved on evey release untiń their peak , the brilliant Hemispheres...it would have been hard to improve on that and they never did...not suprisingly the debut has got few votes, unsuprising for a no nonsense heavy rock album verses the evolving prog metal of the next two releases...

Not implying that the next few aren't also amazing though. My personal fav is AFTK. Hems has always read as a little clinical to me, ironic considering the concept of the title track. My favorite track from it is The Trees, though these days La Villa tends to contest it.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

also no Peart which makes a massive difference. Initially they sounded like a bad Lez Zep tribute band but Peart pulled them away from that thankfully. I prefer A Farewell To Kings over Hemispheres. For me Xanadu is the peak of that 'prog metal' period . Actually it's more symphonic than prog metal which is probably why I love it so much!

Yep same here. I think they were refining the formula to a point where it didn't feel very natural.

Just been listening to The Fountain Of Lamneth ...in my own opinion there's no way anything on Fly By Night reaches these peaks and I do really like Fly By Night BTW. I'm not so keen on the first album probably because they sounded too much like led zep who definitely aren't my cup of tea. But with respect I know many people like the first album, just not for me.

FBN by a mile really. Not only because the shorter songs are the best in their early trilogy, but only two tracks of the debut (Finding My Way and Working Man) and none of COS would find a spot on it by edging out the weaker FBN songs. As for the two mammoth tracks on COS, they're dinausors compared to their next epics, and the By Tor epic is better than Lamneth and Necromancer (despite being shorter). Something's wrong with them, to my ears., and believe me, this 12/13yo tried like hell to love them. They never really hit my target. |

I think FBN is the most consistent of these but I still voted for COS because the high points are better imo. They really pushed themselves on that one and it set the stage for 2112. I actually like it more than 2112.

Most of 'Steel is pleasantly appealing. That can't be said about 'Night.

I´m not a huge fan of either of them, but Fly By Night gets my vote.
