I've always loved the first four songs of Moving Pictures, but could never get into the second half.
WHOA, NICE GRAPHICS!

IMO Permanent Waves is much better than Moving Pictures, but that's not a knock on Moving Pictures at all.  The Camera Eye is probably my favorite song from that album, and I remember my brother played MP to DEATH back then. :jets:

Apparently I'm some sort of prog nerd, because I guessed the album from the title. No, I'm not fluent on Morse code.

Moving Pictures is somewhere in the middle in my Rush albums. Witch Hunt and Vital Signs are a great one-two punch.

Here are some kitchen sink honorable mentions.  Tried to pick out a few that get little to no play here.


Helmet - Meantime - pretty good groove metal here, also serves as proto-nu-metal, but is also considered one of the founding albums of post-metal.




Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese - quirky, experimental, funky (and funny) metal.




3 - The End Is Begun - A lot of you know this one.  This is a very diverse album, as is most of their music.

Winger would be better!

I loved that Helmet album when I was in high school.  I'd break it out and listen to it, but I only have it on cassette tape  :lol

StSoC was my first Primus album. Good indeed. Jerry hooked me immediately and there are a lot of bass riffs on that album that are flat-out fun to play.

Primus sucks ;)

I saw Primus in 2004, when they were playing Sailing the Seas of Cheese live in its entirety.  Damn fine show that was. :metal
