Progressive Rock
♥♥♥ YYZ / ♥♥ Tom Sawyer / ♥ Witch Hunt
Rush is probably my most admirable band for his virtuosity and longevity, and "Moving Pictures" could not miss in a prominent place on my chart. They add to his usual grandeur technique some new wave melodies that make up a complex and varied album. [First added to this chart: 01/13/2015]
