Top 5 RUSH Albums

[LOU/REALM]

Very true Khor...."Presto" IMO is a very underated album. I must admit though I may have let the side down here a bit and not purchased the last 5 RUSH albums

Someone bought Roll the Bones for me. I only liked one song on the whole thing. Then a friend kept playing Snakes and Arrows and I only liked that little 12 string piece Alex did. I always give a new Rush album a listen but I'm not sorry I don't own them.

Most likely the order I'd put mine in:


1. "Hold Your Fire."

2. "Moving Pictures."

3. "Permanent Waves."

4. "Fly By Night."

5. "Rush."



Numbers 1 & 2 are easily my favorites while the other ones are pretty good too.

I also own "A Show Of Hands" & think that it's quite a good live album.

 

[Big Ears]

The first five, but Hemispheres is great too.

 

[Ragged Glory]

I really like the albums that I picked along with several more Rush albums.

"Moving Pictures" was my favorite before I really got deeper into a lot of Rush albums that were/are rarely talked about. It's still amongst my favorite(s) at the top, yet after listening to and purchasing nearly every Rush album, "Hold Your Fire" can stay on top as my favorite for sure.***:It's a shame that many other Rush fans actually don't seem to give "Hold Your Fire" credit, while all they talk about is "Moving Pictures" or "2112" with the star and a guys a$s. After listening to all 3 of those albums closely and often, I still enjoy "Moving Pictures" and believe that it deserves to be credited as a great album. In all honesty though, I flat out don't think that "2112" is that great or even good. It's pretty disgusting seeing a guy touching a star and showing his a$s like that just for an album cover!I somewhat regret the fact that I purchased it even though there's some good to it. At least I got it relatively cheap for like 5 or 7 bucks. Oh well. Just a thought.

Forgot about the self titled debut. It can take the place of Hold Your Fire in my top 5.
Also didn't even notice that about the 2112 cover, still its a great album to me.

Just so you know what I was talking about.
