Your favourite Rush albums?

Hemispheres
2112
A farewell to kings
Caress of Steel
Exit Stage Left

These are the most creative and exciting in sound. Earliest Rush was still bluesy Led Zep style (fantastic but not as ground breaking as these prog albums). Later Rush became more pop as they followed the synth trend.

I think Rush were greatest and most differentiated at prog Rock hence all the love for the third to fifth albums. They were good at radio pop too but it is a heavily crowded area so die hard fans love them for their most creative period.

This dissection of Limelight is incredible, it will give everyone more appreciation for Rush and explains why I like Xanadu (all those rare minor and sus chords)

Limelight was my favourite track from Moving Pictures - side two of that album was so good, like side 2 of Duran Duran Rio - much more interesting than Side 1 that got so much more radio play.
