Post-Moving Pictures favs: Presto Roll the Bones Hold Your Fire Big Money from Power Windows is a great song as well. But I would have to agree with Warhammer on Exit: Stage Left. Great live album, and I don't usually like live stuff either. That album capped off "classic" Rush for me (not that I haven't seen them a half dozen times since...)  Nightwish - Stargazers |

Oh yeah. Hold Your Fire is the best Rush album ever. |

 I'm picking up a little sarcasm there, because, come on, while Hold Your Fire IS a triumph of heavy rock, Moving Pictures is a little better... Emerald Sun - Escape from Twilight |

Quite the range of their career there. Rivendell (Fly by Night) is one of those songs that should end about 5 minutes before it actually does. The rest of the album is great. Hemispheres is at the end of their heavy prog period (2112, A Farewell to Kings) and is a little uneven. I really like the title track on Power Windows but didn't get into much else. Manhattan Project gets a lot of love from most Rush fans I know. |

Another track that just doesn't do anything for me... The image of Geddy Lee with that massive mullet and horrible looking washburn bass... You are making me think I need to dig out that cassette and re-assess my opinion. That, and crank up Hold Your Fire!! |

My personal favorite Rush piece/pieces (not sure if they're separate or together) is/are 2112 Overture/The Temples of Syrinx.

To be honest, 2112 is loaded with filler but the title track is one of the greatest songs of all time, regardless of the genre.
