Me, too.<br /><br />With all due respect, Bob, I believe that you missed the point of the review. It isn't that one album with three great songs and one good song should beat an album of one epic song and one good song or whatever. It's the weight of those three particular songs.<br /><br />They were all responsible for getting me back into Rush. Without Marathon, Mystic Rhythms and Manhattan Project, there is no Will's favorite Rush albums list beyond the four I knew before rediscovering Rush.<br /><br />For all of its "all-time classicness," 2112 simply can't match that. I'm sure it does for others; I can't argue that. This is my list.<br /><br />Perhaps I didn't explain myself elegantly, but the sum of Power Windows beats the sum of 2112, in my opinion. (For what it's worth, I originally had 2112 higher than Power Windows until I started thinking about what that album through those three songs meant to me.) The sum of Power Windows, however, doesn't beat the sum of any of the nine selections above it, in my opinion.<br /><br />I hope that explains it better, and thanks for reading.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920894189879413683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11386152.post-55517030692624249842015-03-28T08:21:26.730-04:002015-03-28T08:21:26.730-04:00Will, you put 2112 below in part because "Don...Will, you put 2112 below in part because "Don't get me wrong: It's Rush, and “A Passage to Bangkok” is good, but, well, you have to have more than one epic album side and one good song to make it into my top 10."<br /><br />Yet, for Power Windows you state, "So, why isn't Power Windows higher? I never went back and listened to the rest of the album for one thing." <br /><br />You love three songs from this album, admitted not listening to the balance of the album for a long time and it ranks higher than one of the all-time classics that may have a couple lesser songs on side two?<br /><br />Pfftt . . . with all due respect. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870591724974133566noreply@blogger.com
