strongest album side evar?

I think Innervisions or Fulfillingness' First Finale could be thrown into the mix too..

I would also go with either side of Permanent Waves. i forget about it for a while, but then i see it in the collection and just have to hear it all the way through.

side 1: The Spirit of Radio; Freewill; Jacob's Ladder

side 2: Entre Nous; Different Strings; Natural Science

I still don't get "Spirit of Radio", but as an atheist..I have to say that "Freewill" is one of the greatest anthems for Freethought ever written. John Lennon's "Imagine", although a great song, pales in comparison. Quiet, and respectful of superstition. Peart, OTOH, ain't havin' none of that stuff.

"Entre Nous" still does it for me, too. People who say "Permanent Waves" is Rush's sell-out album just haven't listened to it closely enough.
