- 10. Rush by Rush
Sounds like Zeppelin, but it's better than Zeppelin one as far as arangements and vocals - 9. Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
more dice almost always get higher numbers together than just one die. - 8. Fly By Night by Rush
Just a fun album to listen to, nothing spactacular. However it is a Rush album, making it stand out a little (just see for your self) - 7. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Lovable all around- but thats also it's weakness - 6. Dark Side Of The Moon by Pink Floyd
Played it twice, felt like the first time TWICE. (start this album after the mgm lion roars in the wizard of oz and turn down the movie- it's weird) - 5. Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Great sound, good lyrics- kept me interested, very well done. - 4. Hemispheres by Rush
Power hungry Vocals (more than usual) make you listen to the rest more detailed- causing a full absorbtion of the music. La Villa Strangato is cool too. - 3. A Farewell To Kings by Rush
Power guitar, fast bass, and quick noted drums. this album has an awesome sound - 2. Caress Of Steel by Rush
You may think I'm favoring Rush, but I'm not. This album is VERY good album. The Fountain of Lamneth is nearly better than 2112 - 1. 2112 by Rush
