Moving Pictures — 1981

Rush's most accessible peak, balancing prog ambition with tight songs like 'Tom Sawyer' and 'Limelight'. Polished and powerful. Their defining record. Later in the run, but no less essential.

On vinyl: '80s originals are plentiful and usually affordable; reissues tend to be cleaner but pricier.
