I'll probably catch it from the die hard Rush fans, but my favorite albums are probably the first 3. I was a big fan in high school. I'm actually particularly fond of the first album, but I probably like Fly by Night the best. Also like Permananet Waves. The further from Moving Pictures you get and the less I care for the albums. Signals was OK, Grace Under Pressure had a couple good songs despite the keyboards and tinny guitars, and Hold Your Fire had Time Stand Still, still one of my favorite songs. I don't have anything newer than that though.
