Nope. Counter Parts and Test for Echo; that's it and I rarely listen to those. I respect Rush, but I don't like Rush.

Do you own Rush - Moving Pictures?

Not the whole album, although I have bought Limelight and Tom Sawyer and some others as singles off Amazon. Kinda a half greatest hits.
I do own Snakes and Arrows? Correct title?
That was the one that I was going to listen to until I got Rush. I actually haven't played it yet, but I have high hopes. Someday.

Yes. Everyone has different tastes and prefers different Rush periods, but to me, this record hits that magical apex moment where they were fully in command of all their potential. They still had all the prog chops and still very much featured their old material live, but had also quickly built a stunningly effective melodic-rock foundation. And they also had their best producer at the helm, who was also at the height of his powers. This is the Rush the general public knows, and for good reason. The best songs on this album are amazingly confident and effortless-sounding as the best pop songs always are, and deftly bounce between dreamy experimentation and direct, accessible real-world statements.
Some may think that makes for the worst of both worlds - neither as prog nor as pop as they were elsewhere - but I like that middle ground where bands have elements of both pop and experimental.
This one is probably my third favorite Rush album to listen to - after Signals and Permanent Waves - but is undeniably a classic. Even if one doesn't enjoy the band, this is a tour de force of musicianship, songwriting, and production.

Yep... Bought it on vinyl the day (or that week anyway) it came out.
Got it on CD now for road trips. Listen to it often still.
Every song is a classic, my favorite being "The Camera Eye".
I still listen to Farewell & Hemispheres often too which are my 2 favorite LP's of theirs.

Moving Pictures is the album that made me notice Rush. I bought their back catalog soon after and have been a huge fan ever since. I bought the 30th anniversary edition of MP when it came out, and got to see Rush play the entire album live in 2012. Good stuff.
No, but I should. I've got 2112 on CD, as well as a two disc greatest hits compilation, but I'd like to get Moving Pictures, as well as A Farewell to Kings and Permanent Waves.
You can't call yourself a Rocker without owning it! I remember the first time I heard YYZ ... is it any wonder I took up bass?
IIRC Permanent Waves was the first album to feature the Jazz, however Geddy also mixed it up with his Ric on PW, MP and Signals, before switching to the Steinberger for GUP, then the Wal for PoW, HYF and Presto. The Jazz pretty much became his go to recording instrument from Roll The Bones onward.
I may be mistaken, but...

Yes, I own all the Rush studio albums, a couple of the live albums, and a few DVDs. No other band, with the possible exception of The Guess Who, says Canada quite like Rush does.
