2112 - 2112
A Farewell To Kings - Xanadu

Snakes & Arrows - Faithless

Ouch! Lemme stew on this for a couple of days.

OOOOhhhhhh.............. I'll be back.............

I edited one entry on my list, I wrote Subdivisions for Signals but I had intended to choose "The Weapon".

yeah I gotta think this one over too, I haven't jammed Rush in along time and have just recently started getting into them again. Besides from Signals on up I don't recall hearing those albums ever.

Hmm, the only two I'm positive about without revisiting the albums are:

Permanent Waves- Jacob's Ladder
Grace Under Pressure- The Body Electric

Rush - Working Man
Fly By Night - Anthem
Caress of Steel - The Fountain Of Lamneth
2112 - A Passage To Bangkok
A Farewell To Kings - Cygnus X-1
Hemispheres - La Villa Strangiato
Permanent Waves - Free Will
Moving Pictures - Vital Signs
Signals - Red Sector A
Power Windows - Middletown Dreams
Hold Your Fire - Turn The Page
Presto - Show Don't Tell
Roll The Bones - Where's My Thin?, Part IV: Gangster Of Boats Trilogy
Counterparts - Double Agent
Test For Echo - Dog Years
Vapor Trails - Freeze (Part IV Of Fear)
Feedback - Summertime Blues
Snakes & Arrows - Malignant Narcissism

Here they are:


Rush - Before And After
Fly by Night - Anthem
Caress of Steel - No One At The Bridge
2112 - Something For Nothing
A Farewell to Kings - Xanadu
Hemispheres - Circumstances
Permanent Waves - Natural Science
Moving Pictures - The Camera Eye
Signals - The Analog Kid
Grace Under Pressure - Between The Wheels
Power Windows - Middletown Dreams
Hold Your Fire - Open Secrets
Presto - Red Tide
Roll the Bones - Face Up
Counterparts - Between Sun & Moon

I really don't have any favorites from anything after Counterparts even though I do own them.

I don't own all of their albums; but I can list the ones I do know.

Rush- Working Man
2112 - 2112
A Farewell to Kings - Cinderella Man Cygnus X-1
Hemispheres - The Trees
Permanent Waves - Jacob's Ladder
Moving Pictures - Witch Hunt Red Barchetta
Signals - Subdivisions Chemistry
Grace Under Pressure - Red Sector A

EDIT: I've changed my mind after letting some of these albums sink in more.

Nice to see "The Analog Kid" make the list, that's a fantastic song.

So many great Rush songs, it's real hard to pick favorites.

Well hell,
Rush -Working Man (although this whole album is bad ass)
Fly by night -Fly By Night (yet another b.a. in total)
Caress of Steel - (i'm not sure i've never really jammed this one)
2112 - A Passage to Bangkok (2112 is just too damn long for me, but awesome jam)
A Farewell to Kings - (no fav here, haven't heard this in along time)
Hemispheres -(to me this is just on long jam I can't pick one track off it)
Permanent Waves - that tough "Freewill" and "The Spirit of Radio" are my faves I can't pick 1.

well that's what I got so far, this is tough.

List complete...

Nice choice, that's one of my favorite tunes from that album. It works great after the song Fly By Night, wish they would add those two tracks to their encore before they retire.

Nice choice for Caress Of Steel, Special Guest, I almost went with that one.

If anyone gives a shit, I changed mine around a little.
