Favorite RUSH period

[Orfanos]

Well, it's difficult to have a poll with each one of Rush albums, so I decided to create one with choices between the periods of the group.

So, I am waiting your votes.

I went with the first era. Although I do enjoy their modern era simply for Peart's drum solos.

 

[delize]

Rush/Fly By Night/Caress of Steel/2112

 

[Psychonaut]

2112 is incredible but I chose the era with Grace Under Pressure. I'm really partial to that album for some reason and is my most listened to Rush CD. I haven't heard the new one yet.

 

[rokk]

I went with the second era but 2112 is by far my favorite of all Rush albums.

 

[TheWhisper]

A Farewell To Kings/Hemispheres/Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures...but I would also add 2112. After Moving Pictures they are very hit and miss for me.

 

[ElectricWiz]

I like 'em all, but Signals through Hold Your Fire have a strange allure for me. Funny too, because generally speaking I'm more of a guitar/art rock kind of guy. Still, they were writing with such great emotion in that period. Subdivisions, The Mission, Time Stand Still....great stuff.

 

[Hawk]

A Farewell To Kings/Hemispheres/Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures era for me. But my favorite album is Power Windows.

 

[Cold Gin]

A Farewell To Kings/Hemispheres/Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures .... because Permanent Waves is my favorite Rush album. But it is very hard vote as I love Grace under Pressure and also Presto a lot, not to forget A Show of Hands which is a great live album.

[Wyvern]

I couldn't vote since my favorite era is "2112"-"Signals"

 

[Trans-Siberian Outcast]

The second period is my vote as it contains three of my four fave Rush albums, Hemispheres/Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures. 2112 is #1 in my book though.

 

[ramses]

Second Period with me....but I have every album, and the only one I'm not too fond of, or at least listen to the least is Roll the Bones. My top 3...
Permanent Waves
Hemispheres
Caress of Steel

 

[sixxswine]

Farewell - Moving Pictures...

 

[Orfanos]

the only one I'm not too fond of, or at least listen to the least is Roll the Bones.

I love Roll the Bones, because it was my first Rush album and I was listening to it when I bought it for more than a month!

But the second period (AFTK until Moving Pictures) is my favourite. All the four albums have incredible quality.

 

[kittybeast]

had to go with Farewell and more....you just can't go wrong with "Closer to the heart" damn good song all the way around.

 

[Ascension]

Had to go with A Farewell To Kings/Hemispheres/Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures even though Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures are not high on my list. My favorite is Hemispheres...then Farewell To Kings/Caress of Steel/2112

 

[Platinum Maze]

FTK > MP for me as well.

Except for 2112 and Fly by Night, most other Rush is "hit or miss" for me too, but there is stuff that I love on almost every album.

 

[Mxgonzo]

I went with A Farewell To Kings/Hemispheres/Permanent Waves/Moving Pictures with Hemispheres being my favorite. After Moving Pictures their stuff is a bit spotty with me.

 

[Flavio CotM]

I couldn't vote since my favorite era is "2112"-"Signals"

Seconded, exactly i feel the same way

 

[Papa Josh]

Jesus, what a difficult poll...
