1 Van Morrison – Moondance
2 Yes – Close to the Edge
3 Bruce Springsteen – Born to Run
4 Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here
5 The Who – Who’s Next

All of them have been overplayed to death but there's no denying the greatness.

Not exactly a cover, this was on the insert of the Hold Your Fire LP.But it should have been the cover! I love all the call backs to earlier Rush album covers.

Day 8 The Godfather

Robbery, Assault & Battery - Genesis 1976

On this first album without Peter Gabriel you can really tell that Tony Banks tried to write the whimsical, story-type of lyrics that Gabriel was famous for.

D30/ An album that can make you cry

Song for America - Kansas 1975

It doesn’t make me cry but when the title track gets to the instrumental part just past the 6 minute mark it does make the hair stand up on the back of my neck! #kansas
