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.

This dissection of Limelight is incredible, it will give everyone more appreciation for Rush and explains why I like Xanadu (all those rare minor and sus chords)

Limelight was my favourite track from Moving Pictures - side two of that album was so good, like side 2 of Duran Duran Rio - much more interesting than Side 1 that got so much more radio play.
@reubent Presto is quite good. Some of their tightest playing and more catchy melodies. It's thin on production, but lyrically one of Neil's better offerings.

@shadorne  My license plate:  "LYMLYT"
@shadorne - Thank you for the link to the Beato video.  Holy cow! That was awesome.

I'm a consumer of music. I don't know music theory and I don't read music. All I know is that since a young teen, I've loved Rush and always felt they were different and exceptional. Watching this video helps me understand how different and exceptional they were. 


Picked up a major score while bin diving.

1974 debut. Not the elusive Moon first press, but the 1st run Mercury, which is just as tough to find. My copy that it is replacing was a mess. This one is in fine condition.

"Working Man"@ max volume with the tubes cookin....good stuff!

Nice find indeed TableJockey.

Just a bit envious!

My LRS has literally tens of thousands of great albums Inc Styx, LedZep, Floyd etc.

But not ONE SINGLE RUSH album have I ever seen in there!
