A lot of great non-standard choices there! I especially like Between the Wheels at #5. A true hidden gem in their catalog.

I tried to spread out my answers among 10 different albums, but of course, this barely scratches the surface.
the two great instrumentals right at the top... very cool.
I should have found room for Entre Nous in my top 10. Absolutely brilliant song. Anybody who says Peart isn't a masterful lyricist isn't paying attention.

I love reading threads that depict their passion for a musical group under the light of scrutiny.
I also love RUSH - immensely.
I cannot provide a top 10 song list since, for me, Rush is about album rock. For example, Moving Pictures or Permanent Waves, if I listen to 1, or 2 or 3 songs, I am left with a strange "emptiness or void" because i have NOT listened to the album in its entirety. Its strange and weird, but its an addiction for the whole production whereby i get fully immersed into the album. Sometimes I will play it 2x or 3x consecutively to get that "drug feeling" filled.
Only a true RUSH disciple knows what i'm talking about.
La Villa Strangiato and The Trees , gets a stereo volume increase and air guitar antics anytime Hemispheres is played. Encore to you!!All your chooses are brillant. I absolutely love Vital Signs, spirit of radio, Freewill, Lakeside Park, 2112, In the mood.....i will stop now because it won't end.
Truthfully, i had to google DRIVEN.From this, i have to state that its nice to see that you stuck with them for the long run. At some point, maybe around 2005, I focused on other musical tastes but still enjoy going back in time....I wish I could have seen RUSH play in concert when these albums came out: 2112, MOving pictures, permanent waves,hemishperes, farewell to kings, caress of steel.
Triumph -- i dont think its a good comparsion since they were only around for a few years,
although they made an impact as a band, they couldn't retain longevity.
A better comparison would be Rush and Neil Young( as far as Canadian artists go- not power trios).
But i have read, i think, you dislike Neil. Which to me, is a huge mistake.
