Alright Rush fans, what's your favorite album, and why?
Mine, and it was the first one I owned, is Exit...Stage Left. I just love every track on the album.
There are alot of other albums of theirs that I love too, but that one is my favorite.
The poll only allowed enough for 20 spots, so if you like
Feedback,
or the live albums
R30,
Different Stages,
Grace Under Pressure (Live),
All The World's A Stage,
Rush In Rio,
A Show of Hands,
you'll have to go with "other"...
I also left off the compilations...

I love Snakes and Arrows, but Rush albums have to go through a process with me like baseball players do for the Hall of Fame: no eligibility for at least five years! I need to give S&A a few hundred more listens before it assumes its place in the pantheon.

Still love Exit Stage Left (my intro to Rush), A Farewell to Kings is great, Grace Under Pressure was my first tour, and I am really enjoying Snakes and Arrows, it is a great record.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Denver | | | For me it's Moving Pictures by a country mile, but the one I like second best would be a very hard choice. I like a few of them that most people don't, and I don't like a few that most people do.
I love Presto, Grace Under Pressure, Counterparts, and A Farewell to Kings.
I don't like Roll The Bones, Test For Echo, Snakes and Arrows (sorry, everyone), or Fly By Night.
I actually like the tunes better on Vapor Trails than on Snakes and Arrows for the most part. If they were to re-record that CD with the production quality that Snakes and Arrows has, it would be a really good album IMO. |

Hold your fire, Hemispheres, Roll the bones, and snakes and arrows are also ones I rank highly. |
