Hemispheres and maybe Caress Of Steel.
But in my opinion, Rush gets boring so very quickly, because they are so predictable, repititive etc.

They got a few rather good songs, though.

2112 and debut album Rush are epic win and also Fly by night are their best IMO, but then again everything by rush is amazing. Really, Rush is amazing. Listening to working man right now.

And Exit Stage Left... for the best version of Jacob's Ladder.

And Permanent Waves!!

I would not have taken you for a Rush lover. You surprise me a lot (in good ways).

I would get them in "tiers" (I'll explain) in this order:

Tier 1:
Counterparts (my favorite)
Grace Under Pressure
Signals
Permanent Waves
Snakes And Arrows

Tier 2:
2112
A Farewell to Kings
Hemispheres
Roll the Bones

Tier 3:
Presto
Hold Your Fire
Power Windows

Tier 4:
Fly By Night
Caress of Steel
Test for Echo
Vapor Trails
Rush

Tier 5:
Feedback

Basically, a tier is (well, it's somewhat obvious, really) a group of albums of similar quality. If I were to recommend, say, Grace Under Pressure over Signals, that would be extremely subjective as they are both of relatively similar quality. At least to me. This covers all their albums, including Feedback, their covers EP. They don't really have bad albums, just albums that are less necessary to Rush fans than others.
