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.

Hemispheres. 2112. Moving Pictures. Permanent Waves. Farewell to Kings in more or less that order.

Tried real real hard to like anything after Signals. Both when the later albums came out and then again a few years ago. Cannot find a single song or riff that I like after Signals. I don't like the direction they took after Moving Pictures but that never diminished my respect for the band or the individual in it. The Geddy Lee interview by Dan Rather on The Big Interview as fantastic. Encourage all Rush fans to seek it out and watch it.
2112 
1st album - Excellent 
Fly By Night

  Saw them perform these albums when they were new.
Hemispheres
2112
Moving pictures.

I had the red vinyl edition of hemispheres. 
It was so cool. I was 10yrs old. Wish I still had it. 
Never cared for them - to many other good bands of the era with much better songwriting and musicianship.  Never liked their shtick.  
My favorite grouping was Caress all the way through Grace. After Grace I found myself picking songs I liked rather than the entire disc. That certainly doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the body of work though after some listening time. I was certainly one that thought Signals was golden while the rest of the fan base was trying to take swan dive into an empty pool lol. They certainly should be ranked among the greatest of all time and given their due,
