That was really hard!

MCM...it IS hard to chose a favorite album...I have favorite albums through eras.

Speaking of their older albums...I have noticed that Best Buy sells the remastered versions for $4.99...not all of them, but quite a few I have seen at two different locations recently. I'm guessing many of you have most if not all of them already, but I have some on LP and not on disc.

I think they're doin' that because they released those packages of all the Mercury albums...3 to a set.

MAN!!! This was harder than I thought it would be. As I read the track list on each album I found myself actually having to listen to the 2 or sometimes even 3 songs that were tied for my fav. But, as of this post my favs are...

RUSH - Working Man
FBN - Tie: FBN and By Tor
COS - Bastille Day
2112- 2112 (more specifically Soliloquy. It was the first song I learned to play on guitar.)
FTK - Xanadu (Go ahead.... just try to drive the speed limit if this one's playing in the car! )
Hemispheres - La Villa Strangiato
PW - Spirit of Radio (My fav RUSH song overall)
Moving Pictures - Tie: Camera Eye and Red Barchetta (The performance of Red Barchetta included on Exit... Stage Left is my fav live version of that song!)
Signals - New World Man
GUP - Distant Early warning
Power Windows - Manhattan Project
HYF - Time Stand Still
Presto - Show Don't Tell
RTB - Ghost of a Chance
CP - Leave That Thing Alone
T4E - Driven
VT - Earthshine
Feedback - Summertime Blues
S&A - Bravest Face
Clockwork Angels - Tie: The Garden and Clockwork Angels

Came across this and thought it was interesting...
