I legitimately couldn’t care less about this poll and won’t participate. 70s and 80s Rush rule  :metal

So you choose not to decide?

That is my choice.  Option 3.

Where did people find Permanent Waves released on January 1st, 1980?

everything I find says January 14th, 1980.

I saw January 1st the other day. I'll try and find it. It's still a 70's album. :P

Your parents had sex the year before you were born.  Do you celebrate the conception?  LOL
Of course. Every year. In fact there's a whole season dedicated to it. There's a great feast. People exchange gifts. Family gathers. It's always a very nice day.
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

70's by far.
I'm quite surprised that a good majority of people here picked the 80's. I expected that people will be PROG-ist, but it seems they're not.

Most are picking 80's because their 2 most beloved albums Permanent Waves & Moving Pictures  are in the 80's. Is that too hard to figure out?

I'm surprised 80s is winning by a more than 2-1 margin, but I'm not at all surprised that 80s is winning, even though I voted 70s.

That’s probably the majority, but my favorite Rush period is Signals through Presto.

To be fair, it was released in Japan on 12/31/79.

Yes because Tim knew that in 1979 and he lives in the one continent that it was released 2 weeks early.
