Your favourite Rush albums?

"Grace Under Pressure - not everyone’s choice"
Well, it is mine, and an easy one to make ~ they hit their stride here, then fell off the wall...they gradually morphed into something you didn’t see coming, listening to this album ~ and ALL the musicians I knew when I was playing back in the 80s talked about this album, and pretty much it only ~ reverentially.

Moving pictures, Hemispheres, Signals. I love most rush but my least favorite is snakes and arrows. Need to give that some more listens though bc it sounds like most people like that one.  I think production wise rush really took a step back after Broon. And the last one clockwork angels I’m not sure what they did but it sounds terrible to me which is unfortunate bc I like most of the songs. As I side note the guy saying rush lacks musicianship and in the next post claims Santana is a great guitarist is a bit curious. Lifeson can play circles around Santana. Check out Santana playing the star spangled banner on YouTube it’s cringe worthy. 

Favorite Rush studio albums:

Everything from 1974 to 2012.

P/G is such a sonically gorgeous album, especially on vinyl.  The songwriting is dead-on, as are Peart's lyrics, which balance the line between self-conscious and detached.

I remember tearing up slightly at my last Rush show during the R40 tour when they ended the first set with "DEW"/"Subdivisions", knowing I'd never hear them live again.

Just to mix it up...

Likely my least favorite album is Clockwork Angels.

Geddys vocals probably at their worst.
Song construction seems tired.
Production is definitely not the best.

Nearly gives me the impression of going through the motions one last time.
