#379 Rush, 'Moving Pictures' (1981)

Another glaring omission from the previous list has now been vindicated. As the old idiom warns, don’t judge a book by its cover. Ignore the punny dad joke that is the album cover (people literally moving pictures) and get into this album. ‘Moving Pictures’ is one of the most important and influential prog rock albums of all time. Featuring the incomparable, and recently departed Neil Peart on drums (and lyrics), guitar wizard, Alex Lifeson and the stunning falsetto and bass skills of Geddy Lee, this band had talent oozing from every pore.
