As great as Rush were in the 70s I actually prefer their early 80s stuff, of all the classic prog bands they were the most successful at updating the prog rock sound for that decade.
I prefer early 80s Rush on the whole as well. I also think their mid-80s synth period is great; Grace Under Pressure and Power Windows are underrated and not really talked about as much as part of their legacy.
