The Best and Worst of Rush
Vapor TrailsVapor Trails by Rush
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £3.13
In my opinion, the best Rush Album. Consistently solid and imaginative songs, full of inspiring concepts. Not easy to get into, but gets better and better with each listen.
PrestoPresto by Rush

Wholey underated album. Some real focus and energy emerging after the wishy-washyness of Hold Your Fire. Classic tracks, fantastic drumming. Not nearly as heavy as later albums, but crystal clear.
Moving PicturesMoving Pictures by Rush
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.90
It's Moving Pictures, dummy! The only problem with tis album is that it's not long enough.
Snakes & ArrowsSnakes & Arrows by Rush
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £3.25
Excellently produced... but falls off the top slot as songs seem too short... slightly too chorus heavy? Nevertheless, a fantastic album.
SignalsSignals by Rush
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.87
One of the first Rush albums I heard. So different to the others, yet so similar. Lovely pur songs that build on the strengths of Moving Pictures.
Grace Under PressureGrace Under Pressure by Rush
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.79
Difficult to choose between this and Signals really. Love every track - fantastic to hear them live still on the recent tour.
Test for Echo: RemasteredTest for Echo: Remastered by Rush
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.59
Mixed bag of very strong songs. Clearly a transitional stage - changing for the better. Can't get enough of 'Limbo'
CounterpartsCounterparts by Rush
Buy used from: £4.61
This would have been higher up the table if it wasn't for Nobody's Hero. Shame the live version of Animate is shortened.
Power WindowsPower Windows by Rush
Buy used from: £6.51
Good, but not as good as Counterparts. Songs sound better on A Show of Hands. A bit too over-produced.
Exit ... Stage LeftExit ... Stage Left by Rush
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.99
Good summary of the first 6 years of Rush. Xanadu to die for!
A Show of HandsA Show of Hands by Rush
Buy new: £8.79 / Used from: £4.86
Allmmost a 'best of' the last three albums. Best drum solo to date for NP. Red Sector A is a charm.
Rush in RioRush in Rio by Rush
Buy new: £11.38 / Used from: £3.48
Great album for the car - all the classic, one after another.
Different Stages: LiveDifferent Stages: Live by Rush
Buy new: £25.98 / Used from: £12.50
Not enough new songs. Irritating nobody's hero. Disc three is a delight - especially Cygnus X-1. All we need now is a live version of Hemispheres and the set is complete.

Not much different to Rush in Rio. Edited track list misses out some of thebest songs they did on that set list.
Hold Your FireHold Your Fire by Rush
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £6.99
Sounds tinny and unfinished. Good songs, but too many fade-outs. Have to mess with my graphic equaliser each time I listen to it.

Loads of energy & still fresh after all these years (drumming needs to be improved somehow).
Permanent WavesPermanent Waves by Rush
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.00
Getting there... The album where it all started to come together. Althoug, I fall alseep in the instrumental part of Jacob's Ladder.
HemispheresHemispheres by Rush
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £3.33
Too few songs. Overplayed 'The Trees'. Why include 'Circumstances' in the latest set list?
All the World's a StageAll the World's a Stage by Rush
Buy used from: £7.46
An essential album for the fanatic, but better off really with Exit Stage Left
Spirit of Radio - Greatest Hits 1974 to 1987Spirit of Radio - Greatest Hits 1974 to 1987 by Rush

Good starter for 10, if you've not got any other Rush.
Fly by NightFly by Night by Rush

Things starting to take shape.? Let down a bit by the cr*p cover.

I know, it's me, but I can't get into side 2 of this album at all.
Caress Of SteelCaress Of Steel by Rush
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £3.33
A tase of things to come. A good album, don't get me wrong. Streets ahead of RTB, but it's a learning album for them. Nice to go back to some times.

What they did when they got bored one weekend - pretty boring. Covers, but not their type of song, I don't think.

Why they got out of bed on these days! Can't listen to it. To cheesy, too simply, too commercial. Rubbish!
