best Rush Album to get first
« on: June 15, 2011, 12:30:14 PM »
I know I'll be stoned for admitting this, but the only Rush album I have ever purchased was "The Spirit of the Radio/best of" compilation.
 
I grew up in a large family and it was my brother who was really into them and if I ever needed a fix for some Geddy Lee goodness, I just borrowed one of his tapes or records.
 
Now that I'm all growed up, I've been having some stirring desires for something more then "Tom Sawyer" or "The Trees" (Both awesome songs, BTW) on the radio. But there are TONS of albums and I don't know which I should get first.
 
So, I throw it out to you all in hopes my fellow Amigans will be able to shed some light on this and guide me true...

Moving Pictures or 2112 if you like the older stuff.

Hemispheres and A Farewell to kings. You can't own one without the other.
Earth has a lot of things other folks might want... like the whole planet. And maybe these folks would like a few changes made, like more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and room for their way of life. - William S. Burroughs
