You like Power Windows better than Grace Under Pressure?

Fave early period = Caress of Steel
Fave classic period = Permanent Waves Fave synth period = Power Windows Fave latter period = Clockwork Angels

By the tiniest of margins.

Is 2112 early period? Is Signals classic or synth? Are all periods divided by a live record?

Rush > 2112 = Early
Fairwell to Kings > Moving Pictures = Classic Signals > Roll the Bones = Synth Test for Echo > Clockwork Angels = Latter IMO. These are not black and white choices - tons of grey between eras.

Do you have to kind of fake it to enjoy the latter period stuff or do you really like it?
I respect them so much for what they accomplished but, to me, those late period records have no charm. Listening to those records is, to me, like petting an old faithful dog that has been stuffed by good taxidermist.

The Garden is a genius send off tune. So glad I got to see them a couple years ago after 40 years of being a fan and just blatantly missing each and every time they came to town. My brother, on the other hand, has seen them maybe 20 times. It was 1978 when I first heard 2112 and was transported into a new world of impeccable drumming, lush guitar chords, incredible bass lines, and fantastic futuristic story telling. Inimitable in many ways. From the Fear Trilogy, to Lifeson's Victor, Lee's involvement with the McKenzie boys and SCTV, and Pearts influence on the drumming world as well his family tragedy's, they encompass a world of perfection, struggle, and perseverance, as they go out with their integrity intact.

So glad they went out with CA. That album kicks serious ass! And I love how they quote bits and parts from their classic years. The perfect Swan Song IMO. PLANK, couldn't agree more!!! Feel the same way about Zep's I'm Gonna Crawl, their last official release. (Coda was old outtakes that were released to satisfy a contract with Atlantic Records)

Thank God Zep never tried to replace JB. I wish The Who had done the same thing.

Back on topic Rush is neat. I only ever listen to the early stuff. If they only released the song 2112, that alone would be enough for them to deserve their legacy.
