So I'm giving Rush a chance and I don't know where to start. What album is a good way to get into Rush? For your information I've heard 2112 the song and I think it's awesome.
-
Moving Pictures and Hemispheres
-
The best albums to start with are pretty much universally accepted to be Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. Not my two favorites, but to a new listener they are the two I'd suggest.
-
Get these albums first -
2112
A Farewell To Kings
Hemispheres
Permanent Waves
Moving Pictures
After that, if you like the direction PEW and MP move in, I'd go with getting Signals and Grace Under Pressure afterwards. Also, it wouldn't hurt to go backwards and get their first three albums, Rush, Fly By Night and Caress Of Steel.

Power Windows
Always a good decision
-
First album should always be Moving Pictures. Then go chronologically from 2112 to Permanent Waves, then get Power Windows, Counterparts, and S&A. Then buy the Caravan/BU2B single. Then get everything else.
-
By the way, Hemispheres and A Farewell To Kings are their best albums.
Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Good thing then that the question isn't what the best album is; it is what is the best album to start with. ;)
You can't go wrong with Permanent Waves or Moving Pictures.
-
I know, I'm just saying :laugh: I agree Moving Pictures is the best place to start.
-
Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures are definitely the best place to start. After that, I'd suggest 2112 and Hemispheres, then Counterparts and Fly By Night.
-
Perm Waves and Hemispheres. :heart
-
any rush album is a great album imo. grace under pressure is what really got me into them though.
-
A Farewell to Kings
Permanent Waves
Hemispheres
Moving Pictures
2112
in that order

I completely agree with both posts.
-
any rush album is a great album imo.
Except for Test for Echo.
And Presto.
And Vapor Trails.
And Rush.
And...well, you get the point. :p
Still the best band ever, though. :)

Actually I really like test for echo......
-
And I like a handful of songs off Vapor Trails.
-
Both albums have good songs, for sure, but great albums? Meh. Neither are bad, but neither are great.
-
Snakes and Arrows was a great start for me. Still, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures are good starts. I love A Farewell to Kings.
-
Yeah, I cannot in good faith say Vapor Trails is a "great" album :lol
I still need to hear Snakes & Arrows :\
-
Honestly, I can't help but just recommend their greatest hits album. None of their albums really stand out as 'amazing' or even 'great' to me, but each one has a few ridiculously awesome songs.
-

Go listen to Far Cry now!
GOGOGOGO
