All those albums have their merits but A Farewell To Kings was the album that got me into Rush and has remained my favourite since.

I like all of the 70, as Rush fan, but the AFTK have a greater appreciation: guitar solos, good harmonious bass.

I can understand how Caress of Steel may be a little hard to digest for some, but it's my personal favorite of the classics Smile

Slight edge to Hemispheres, maybe just because it was my first Rush album.

How the heck does Caress of Steel get 2 stars while the first two get a higher rating from you? Confused
I don't think it's very good.

Bastille Day and Lakeside Park are nice, but their ambition was greater than their skills at that point, so the epics are very disjointed and unmemorable.

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it but I just thought it was a little odd because I would think you'd rank it above Fly by Night  as most people do

2112 for me, mainly on the strength of the title song.

I´m mostly interested in the band´s 80s output, but if I have to chose from the above options it would be Hemispheres.

That ending is freaking cray-cray I love it Big smile
