My Favorite Rush album follwed closely by 2112....

wheel,

two very good choices. i also really like signals, permanent waves, and hemispheres.

I've seen Rush at least a dozen times..

wheel,

Saw them back in 82 or 83.. I think.. Memory is kind of fuzzy from back then. Who were they touring with at that time?

No frickin' way.

Their best album BY FAR is "A Farewell to Kings."

+1 on the "Farwell To Kings"

I also liked "Test For Echo".

Dang it! Now I gotta haul out my Rush CDs and revisit them.

2112 - I wore out that 8-track. That was some heavy-duty headphones material.

Bytor and the Snow Dog...

Moving Pictures was the very first rock record (yes vinyl) I ever bought

My Favorite Rush album followed closely by 2112.

Holy ****..NONE of you **** are right......"Caress of Steel" = Best Rush album

wheel,

Hey, any album before Test for Echo makes my top album list. I like TfE and later albums (except for Vapor Trails, the only Rush album I really do no like at all). It's just that MP and prior were much better, IMHO. Also seen them a bunch of times, although Mrs. Pacman may be growing weary of that...the last time we saw them, it started raining halfway through the outdoor show, and we were pretty well drenched. Also killed off any chance of cigar-smoking during that half.

pac, have you listened to snakes and arrows? i really like that one. in fact, it's my favorite since hold your fire. vapor trails has a few good songs on it, but i think it's the weakest in the whole catalog.

My vote for the weakest is "Signals".

Just can't get into that one.

The thing with Rush is that even on their "worst" release theres a song or two I can listen to.

Rumor has it a new album will be out soon followed by a Tour..

wheel,

D'oh! Man, am *I* ever having a Monday!!! Snakes and Arrows is actually the one I don't like. Vapor Trails is OK.

#17 Heard? I've got all of them (even if I can't--apparently--tell the damned difference today). My favorite band EVAR (I knew wheel had to have SOME redeeming quality). I even have that album of covers they did...and I guess there is a second album of theirs I don't really care for.

If you haven't seen them live, do so before you (or they) die. They always put on a great show. Considering they've been at it for some 30+ years, and how particular they are about their gear and sound, I have to wonder how much longer they will keep touring.
