Ok since I did the 25 greatest RUSH songs I might as well get the best RUSH album out of the way. I have included live albums up until Different Stages.....here goes.
Grace Under Pressure 2112 Permanent Waves Vapor Trails Exit Stage Left Moving Pictures....due to the song The Camera Eye Clockwork Angels Hemispheres Hold Your Fire All The Worlds Stage A Farewell To Kings Caress Of Steel Signals Different Stages RUSH Presto Power Windows Counterparts Fly By Night Roll The Bones Feedback Snakes & Arrows A Show Of Hands Test For Echo
I hope I didn't leave out any of RUSHs great work throughout the years.
Peace
Some changes are coming to this listing of RUSH albums as I'm going through the Sectors 1 2 3. I was so impressed with Presto which will be moved up but I'll wait till Sector 3 comes in then Sector 1. The Presto Tour was the first Rush Tour I took a young lady on a date, first girl I met who was as big a Rush fan as I was....man was she ever flexible.

Just received Sector 3 and I'll say this Test For Echo will not be dead last. I'll be honest here, Some of these albums from PW-TFE I have not listened to much in years. It's amazing how my musical tastes has changed over the years. RUSH albums I once detested I now like or has come across and sounds completely different than back in the day when I last listened to them.
I will wait till I go through them all to make the final post on this album listings, might do the same with the songs listing too.

After going back and listening to just about all the albums especially the ones after MP I'm given this a total revision.
Here goes my finality....
Grace Under Pressure 2112 Permanent Waves Power Windows....Mystic Rhythm....is a classic...I don't know how I underestimated this album do much along with the one below. Territories is another I missed somehow over the years along with others. Great album. Signals...I can't get Countdown out of mind....the imagery of take off is perfect Vapor Trails Exit Stage Left...will always be my favorite live album Moving Pictures....for me TCE makes this album Clockwork Angels Hemispheres Counterparts....the only tour I've missed since GUP of 49 shows, another underestimated album that slipped under my radar. All The Worlds Stage A Farewell To Kings Caress Of Steel Test For Echo.....I think we did something of the top 25 songs TFE has to be included. Hold Your Fire RUSH Different Stages Presto Fly By Night A Show Of Hands Roll The Bones Feedback Snakes & Arrows....never liked this album then and now after repeated listenings I dislike it even more. It's hard for me to listen it just doesn't work for me. Maybe due to me liking VT so much.
Some of the albums back in the time they came out I liked I now dislike SOMEWHAT and others vice versa. I'm getting old and my musical likings has changed quite a bit when it comes to RUSH.

That's not my list to a tee, but I dig it. I love seeing VT so high, and I would also put Feedback and S&A towards the bottom.
I have a hard time rectifying some of your albums being lower than others, but whatever. We can agree to disagree. But overall that's a solid list.
I hear ya BF....you should have seen me with my foot up trying heal it listening to all the albums I hadn't heard in some time wondering how I miscalculated how good or not so good some of these albums are today. My musical tastes as I've said has changed a lot over time, I be damned to know what that means.....by the time I hopefully reach 60 who knows what I'll really like then. I'm smiling just the same though, I'll never hesitate to go out and see them though even if they play S&A in its entirety.

Sticksman Neil says the thought of leaving his family for long periods leaves him feeling guilty.

Often, Peart says he dreams of being in the audience of his own Rush show.
"I'd love to observe what we're a part of," he says. "Our band has been together for 40 years, so I sense sometimes when magic is happening. And also, if I was in the audience, I wouldn't have to be working so hard."
I love what he says there. Although I believe Peart is the BEST playing drummer rock he's NOT the most all around talented member of the band.

Tough topic. I mean he's in the upper echelon of drummers in rock history AND he writes 99% of the lyrics...

Tough indeed, he speaks constantly about how painful it is to play on tour and being away from his young daughter. As far as his daughter I know you that pain been there surviving and survived that situation as a single father. Now as far as the pain of playing on tour has to be very difficult, as a musician drumming is the one intrument that one has four parts of the body moving at all times and has to be taxing on the brain to move those parts.
The heartbeat of aband.....that said Geddy to me has to be the most all around talented one in this band. His responsibilities are immense in playing bass, remembering lyrics written by Neil, singing said lyrics, playing synthesizer and engaging to a tough demanding/critical audience is really hard to do but he does mostly does this with ease.
That said ALL THREE STOOGIES I like to call them are so intertwined they ALL make this band work going on 40 years now. I hope they tour again soon and come down here to SOuth Florida, if not I'll have to Travel up to MD/VA to see them. The time is coming soon where they will no longer tour so catch them when you can.
Thank you for that article that was a good read.

I finally got around to seeing Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage last night. That was such an enjoyable documentary about the band. I thought it was really well done. I've been a Rush fan for a little over 30 years but didn't see them until the S&A tour. I saw them twice on that tour, once on the Time Machine tour, and once on the Clockwork Angels tour. I hope they tour in 2015. I really want to see them again.

I though it was a much better and much more thorough documentary than PJ20. It also had a much better flow and cohesiveness.

I just saw PJ20 the other day, I did like it I found out quite a few things about PJ I didn't know. However, there's some truth that PJ20 seemed to be all over the place and to some extent with me learning about PJ difficult to follow.

Something that I always wondered about Neil Peart and his tour drum kits. I wanted to know what did he do with these kits after each tour. Well something I never knew was that on many of the tours he used the same kit for several tours, he would just change the colors or a piece or two for each tour. I always thought he used a completely new kit but that's not the case and what did he do with those kits when he no longer used them on tour.
Here's a history of those kits.... The Drums Of Neil Peart: A History
I can just imagine the joy some of those guys felt who won NP's tour drum kits. If it was me I'd lose my mind for sure.

Grace Under Pressure
2112
Permanent Waves
Power Windows....Mystic Rhythm....is a classic...I don't know how I underestimated this album do much along with the one below. Territories is another I missed somehow over the years along with others. Great album.
Signals...I can't get Countdown out of mind....the imagery of take off is perfect
Vapor Trails
Exit Stage Left...will always be my favorite live album
Moving Pictures....for me TCE makes this album
Clockwork Angels
Hemispheres
Counterparts....the only tour I've missed since GUP of 49 shows, another underestimated album that slipped under my radar.
All The Worlds Stage
A Farewell To Kings
Caress Of Steel
Test For Echo.....I think we did something of the top 25 songs TFE has to be included.
Hold Your Fire
RUSH
Different Stages
Presto
Fly By Night
A Show Of Hands
Roll The Bones
Feedback
Snakes & Arrows....never liked this album then and now after repeated listenings I dislike it even more. It's hard for me to listen it just doesn't work for me. Maybe due to me liking VT so much.

But that is only due to the fact that every second song played on the radio is Rush. CanCon has ruined Rush for me.

Liked this from one of the comments...
Alex and Geddy: Sorry Neil, but this kid works for happy meals and animal balloons. We're gonna have to let you go.

I though it was a much better and much more thorough documentary than PJ20. It also had a much better flow and cohesiveness.

I can just imagine the joy some of those guys felt who won NP's tour drum kits. If it was me I'd lose my mind for sure.

Well it seems I might shoot for Tampa FL through Bristow VA tour for this R40 challenge. Never know this could be the last tour. Tampa will be my 50th tour concert if this is their last this will be fun way to go out if they are done touring.
