Moving Pictures was my intro to it all but 2112 has that special place. As does the Trees song from Atmospheres I think it was.

(6,402 posts)I've not been listening to music at all the last couple of years after a bad breakup and only just started trying by reconnecting with Rush since it's not all a bunch of love ballads.

I think it was 1979.....
A green leafy substance was involved....
I do have the picture disc album though.

Another is "Wipeout" with Snoopy surfing:
ETA - They also do "Bohemian Rhapsody."

In the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up to a circle of grim, expressionless faces. Father Brown rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed throughout the silent Temple Hall
Instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were words of quiet rejection! Instead of praise, sullen dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as Father Brown ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his feet
I know its most unusual
To come before you so
But Ive found an ancient miracle
I thought that you should know
Listen to my music
And hear what it can do
Theres something here as strong as life
I know that it will reach you.

But 2112 is only second to what I consider their masterpiece, Hemispheres.
