Moving Pictures in particular strikes a perfect balance, still complex enough for prog fans but catchy enough to appeal to a wider audience.

I know Moving Pictures is the basic bitch choice for favorite Rush album but I am a very basic bitch indeed.
Oh dear. You are not going to be a happy lady then when I get to it...

Nothing wrong with that. Sometimes the popular choice is the popular choice for a good reason.
Ah for ****'s sake! I have 2112, Caress, Farewell, Hemispheres, Exit.. Stage Left and All the World's a Stage all on vinyl! Original too, not ****ing re-issues. Now I feel old(er)! Hey! Maybe I can make a buck?
