I liked Fly By Night and 2112 quite a bit too. I enjoy the first side of Farewell to Kings (Xanadu's a classic) and Closer to the Heart which kicks off side 2 is a stroke. Even the very first one before Peart when they were total Zep rip-off artists has some good stuff (Working Man especially). After Power Windows I lost touch too; just broadened my horizons into punk, new wave and post-punk and there was so much new stuff to hear.For my taste, they got progressively better with each album from Farewell to Kings, which was ok, moving into the early to mid 80’s. I really liked that period, but lost touch with them for a long time going into the 90’s.
Yeah, took my foot off the gas after Power Windows too - Hold Your Fire was when I first noticed a dip.I liked Fly By Night and 2112 quite a bit too.

Presto was a dip maybe Roll the bones, but thought Counterparts and Test for echo were both good, then the last run of Vapor trails, Snakes and Ladders Clockwork Angels were all very good (The remixed Vapor Trails at least the first mix was a bit off)Yeah, took my foot off the gas after Power Windows too - Hold Your Fire was when I first noticed a dip.
Having said that, the albums after that are still decent and very listenable.
Just brilliant
Same here Chester. Power Windows then a tail off although I had a general malaise around then which lasted a long time.Yeah, took my foot off the gas after Power Windows too - Hold Your Fire was when I first noticed a dip.
