Love them both, but had to go with Moving Pictures on this one.

I'm a dick. I couldn't choose. Initially I almost chose MP because my least fave from that, Vital Signs, wasn't enough to set it behind my two least faves from PW, Entre Nous and Different Strings. Also I REALLY like all ten remaining songs from the two albums combined. PW contains the first song I ever heard by them, Freewill, my alltime Rush favorite, Natural Science, and Jacob's Ladder is just cool as shit. MP, while not containing the killer's row emotionally speaking that PW does for me, is a fantastically consistent album front-to-back.

I tried listening to the "weaker" tracks thinking this would give the two albums some separation and it made it worse. Now I actually like them all. You could say I won.

Moving Pictures.
This is as exciting as superluminal neutrinos. The sexy thing is that this actually exists :D

Permanent Waves, which would probably be my favorite Rush-album.
I never really cared much for Moving Pictures, it was good and all, but didn't enjoy it as much as the other 'classics'.

Oh that's a hard one. Voted MP but could easily have gone the other way. Not a great deal between them, both are essential. In fact thinking about it maybe I should have voted PW...

Permanent Waves easily, but I'm not surprised to be in a minority.

Choosing between Rush albums is always hard. These albums, I feel, are both equally as good; in different ways, of course. But if I HAD to choose... I guess I'd have to go with MP.

(PeW almost did win me over with the cover art, though.  ;)  :D  :P  :angel: )
