For me, Power Windows represents a peak in terms of production and the warmth of Peart's lyrics. I voted "Territories" in part bc I love how it fuses (then) cutting edge technology, Peart's percussion and Edge-style one world guitar heroism (Bono wasn't the only one with a messiah complex in U2) to add texture and detail to the subject of the song. The result is actually a far denser production than it seems -- prog with a decidedly pop veneer. But honestly, you could say similar things about "Mystic Rhythms," "Manhattan Project," "Marathon" or anything else on it, really.
Great album.

I still prefer Grace Under Pressure, probably because it's "darker", but this doesn't fall too far behind for me.

That, and just about everything else he does over the entire album. It is really a great guitar album overall (and bass and drums and synths...)
