Produced by Terry Brown & Rush. Lit up with anticipation We arrive at the launching site The sky is still dark Nearing dawn On the Florida coastline.

In anticipation of Snakes & Arrows, I run through the entire Rush discography and rank their studio albums by greatness. I’m skipping compilations and live albums, mainly because none of Rush’s compilations or live albums are all that essential. That can’t be stressed enough. I originally wanted to dedicate a post to each album, but I think that would rightly be seen as a transparent attempt to drag this thing out needlessly. So I’ll start with 3 at a time, and we’ll see how that goes.
