Not only is 1981´s Moving Pictures Rush´s best album, it is undeniably one of the greatest hard rock albums of all time.
The new wave meets a hard rock approach of Permanent Waves is honed to perfection: All seven of the tracks are classics (four are still featured regularly in concert and on classic rock radio). While other hard rock bands at the time experimented unsuccessfully with other musical styles, Rush were one of the few to successfully cross over.
The whole entire first side is perfect their most renowned song, "Tom Sawyer," kicks things off, and is soon followed by the racing "Red Barchetta," the instrumental "YYZ," and a song that examines the pros and cons of stardom, "Limelight."
