I must say this discussion is going better than the Yes one, but that's probably because Rush has worn many different styles over their career. Personally, I think Presto is the best album for the period between Signals and Counterparts; and Caress of Steel is also one of my favorites. To each his own, but here are my three least-liked (or at least least-listened -to):

3. Fly By Night

I really never got into this album. I dig Anthem, Fly By Night, and By-Tor, but the album as a whole never sat well with me. I also find overt references to Tolkien really cheesy (another example--Led Zeppelin's Ramble On)

2. Hold Your Fire

Again, another album with some really good tracks (Force Ten, Tai Shan, etc.) but just doesn't sit well as a whole.

1. Test For Echo

This one just ain't very good, IMO.
