    Geddy's vocals aren't "screachy" on both Waves and Pictures... if you'll except the one part on Natural Science

    Close, but I'd have to go with "Permanent Waves."

    Permanent Waves by far. I found Moving Pictures rather compromised to a more "mainstream friendly" song form. Signals tried to correct that by embracing influences of new wave, synth music even reggae and resulted in a substantially different sound. But Grace Under Pressure put them for me, on a perpetual road to stagnation.

    That guy probably can't help being "screachy" even while snoring. One of the reasons why I could never be a big fan, 'though not the main one.

    I totally agree that GL was screechy before Waves....

    It's precisely that fact that I didn't like Waves...; it created a WTF reaction to me and a few first hour fans

    Signals was hardly a move away from mainstream friendly. More of a let's cop the sound of The Police and see if that gets us more airplay.

    Definitely some Police influence but for my part is way better than anything I've heard from the Police (which admittedly is only the "greatest hits"). Signals is one of my favorite Rush albums. Easily.

    But I love Rush and can't stand The Police.

    I have to remind myself that I'm not on a Rush Forum... "I warmed up to the other songs on Moving Pictures"

    Easily Moving Pictures, their best album, and which includes their best track, "Red Barchetta." Permanent Waves is good, but I should like it better than I do.

    Incidentally, I can personally attest that the run from Hemispheres to p/g produced some outstanding tours. Great live shows in this era.

    Waves is a filler album compared to the albums that surround it

    this is not the first time I read this and in some ways, I can agree to it...

    Though I definitely prefer some Police albums (Outlandos & Ghost IA Machine) to Signals

    there are a couple of tracks on MP that are not quite great.

    This a highly recommended show for the great MP clan of fans (including myself), their Cleveland performance featured them back in form with quite much of their full 70's fire, for those who think they could on longer be any close. And Neil Peart really shows what he's for, especially on those most explosive triple fire off Rush's discography, ever! (Tom Sawyer-Red Barchetta-YYZ)

    It's "Moving Pictures" for Me (I love all the songs on it)! "Permanent Waves" is a close second (only song I don't like on it is "Different Strings").

    On the whole, I vote Permanent Waves, but Moving Pictures gave us "Vital Signs" which is my all-time favorite Rush tune.

    Moving Pictures is better because of one thing....Spirit of Radio is on PW and I HATE THAT SONG!

    Yea, Rush used to be me fav band but ever since around Roll the Bones, I just don't like the way they took musically. Can't see them live because Geddy's voice is gone and I just remember the shows of the 70's through the 90's and leave it at that.

    A Farewell to Kings is Rush's best with Caress of Steel being a close second.

    Well, this is from their run of five "perfect" (to me) albums starting with AFTK and ending with Signals. Really impossible to choose, maybe I'd pick Permanent Waves by a hair because I like the "lesser" songs (Entre Nous, Different Strings) better than the "lesser" songs on Moving Pictures (Witch Hunt, Vital Signs)... although Vital Signs became a lot more interesting once I had the tablature and played the bass line.
    You say Mega Ultra Deluxe Special Limited Edition Extended Autographed 5-LP, 3-CD, 4-DVD, 2-BlueRay, 4-Cassette, five 8-Track, MP4 Download plus Demos, Outtakes, Booklet, T-Shirt and Guitar Pick Gold-Leafed Box Set Version like it's a bad thing...

    One of the first rock bands I really warmed up to during the early 80's, despite Lee's scratching vocals hahah
    Yeah many different nuances I find in both, never noticed much of a great bass line on Vital Signs, will have to spin it again after a long while. Always appreciated the different colours that Entre Nous and Different Strings added to PW, pretty much like Broon's Bane atmosphere which fit so pefectly as an intro to The Trees - 'E... SL' is btw a GREAT live recording.
    But I enjoy even more the weirdness of Witch Hunt these days, so today MP would get my vote.

    Vital Signs is definitely in my top 5 songs from Rush. Good pick, Ian!

    Man you're absolutely right, on target! Been thinking it is indeed their kind of Holy Trinity for my ears too. No Rush album achieved that triple height at the start of it, 3 fire spitting in a row! This makes MP so special for me too, closing with their best instrumental ever, just The Main Monkey Business perhaps can reach YYZ league.
