Quoted from ghostbc:

If you like progressive stuff go for 2112 side a and follow the lyrics. For a more radio friendly(more folks can get into it) I would go for Moving Pictures. For the most progressive (they say they had a hard time playing what they wrote) Hemispheres . Enjoy!

As a slobbering Rush fan, I would go ‘oooh’ ‘ahhh’ over something on every album.

Quoted from skink91:

I think one way to maybe understand or witness the excitement many of us feel about the band is to watch Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage (currently on Netflix).
Album-wise, I suspect all of us have our own weird story how we joined the cult of Rush. For me, someone on my freshman dorm floor had a couple Rush albums and it intrigued me (still didn’t get it though). I chanced upon a used Presto tape (of all the albums, why that one… no idea), and ended up wearing it out listening to it over and over in my car and at work. From there it was all over.
I personally like all of it, but I came in late (on the newer stuff) and then just had my mind blown by their old albums… but it took time for me because I initially really dug the more synthesizer-heavy songs.

Quoted from Seamlesswall:

"He's a radio receiver, tuned to factories and farms" was my hook after being a total Yes head throughout high school. Rush was not progressive enough, or so I thought. (I did end up touring with Jon later in life), but my choice would be the album "Hold Your Fire". Once that's ingested move onto Presto. But then again Roll the Bones, but then again....

Quoted from LOTR_breath:

Rush's sound changed dramatically over the years. For the early stuff I would recommend Caress of Steel. To me their pinnacle album of the 80's is Moving Pictures. Of their 90's stuff I would recommend Roll the Bones or Counterparts. Of their later 2000's stuff, Snakes and Arrows is very solid. But for some unknown to me reason, my all time favorite Rush album is Power Windows 1985. Probably more synthesizer than most Rush fans prefer, but I just love that album. Manhattan Project is just a masterpiece.
