#GreatAlbums1980s: #Rush – Moving Pictures (1981). Withstanding the prog backlash of the early 80s, Rush reinvented their sound with (relatively) concise songs, keyboard layering, and hooks irresistible to FM radio. "Tom Sawyer," "Red Barchetta" and "Limelight" brimmed with new energy, as Geddy Lee's vocals matured, Alex Lifeson's guitar grew concise, and Neil Peart's drumming reached its apex. For the prog diehards, Side 2 was a cinematic tour-de-force.
