Disappointed that Signals got voted out - love the humor of that one, along with MP. My vote goes to 2112 - pretty plain in comparison to the choices left altho iconic. Had the cover been the starman, it would've been one of the top 3 Rush covers for me.

Grace Under Pressure
:omg:
Seriously? That's their best album cover, IMO!

I say the same for you brutha! Actually RtB is pretty cool, even if half the music on the album is not. I'd rate it towards the top personally. I think about the work Syme had to put into it, given that he couldn't cheat his way using Photoshop like he can today. (Yes I know Photoshop existed then, but it was pretty embryonic in comparison to what it is today - I've been working with PS since 1994, so I know from experience)
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

I went with PoW, but I'd be ok with RTB also.

Hemispheres, but I wouldn't mind if AFTK, PoW, or RTB goes next

Grace Under Pressure.  It just doesn't stir emotion from me.

I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".
