Your favourite Rush albums?


Started as a side discussion on another thread so thought I would just make a thread for it.

Pretty simple really, your favourite Rush albums and why?

To keep it simple, studio albums ONLY, no bootlegs, live albums etc.

I got into RUSH with Fly By Night,  2112, and Hemispheres but I don't play them that much now. Though still very enjoyable to me.
I have several copies of RUSH media, from albums, CD's, to high-res files. The best for me is the high-res.

1) Moving Pictures
2) Clockwork Angels
3) Signals
4) Roll the Bones
5) Vapor Trails (has to be the remixed)

The original Vapor Trails CD was so bad I threw it in the garbage. The new remixed is a favourite.
@uberwaltz I would tend to agree on your fluff comment. I actually was listening to alternative radio in Toronto during that time and not much RUSH because I was not a fan of the ’fluff’ disks. However, I got back into RUSH when I moved to the US and started listening to the DIFFERENT STAGES live recording. That disk had some tunes from Roll the Bones and I was hooked.

My sister’s neighbor is the recording studio that RUSH recorded Presto. A truly awful release for me. This studio is in a rural area north of Toronto.

If you ever watch a Toronto Blue Jays game on mlb.com, and maybe a good time now with Vlady Jr being called up this week, look on the second row a few seats to the left, that would be Geddy Lee with the cap on.
I love Clockwork Angels. Saw them in Vegas for that tour and was hooked on the disk. 
When I was in high school RUSH filmed the video for Subdivisions in my school. I used to be an uber geek who would point out my school locker in the video. I don't think the girls were impressed by that. Remember videos.
