Snakes & Arrows is very special for me. It was my first Rush album that I started to listen to after I saw Rush live the first time. And I was ONLY listening to it for a few weeks. Every song on it is great!

Fly By Night, but I still don't get why Snakes and Arrows gets so much hate.

 

Worst song is Spindrift, it just feels so awkward and boring.

 

I almost chose Spindrift but had to go with the yodeling song with the dumb lyrics.

 

At Snakes best it was 2nd from the bottom, just beating out Roll the Bones. These days its at the bottom. None of the songs grab me but there are a few that are still enjoyable. These include Malnar, Monkey, and Wind Blows.

 

Aside from most of the lyrics which I dislike, more than half of the music does absolutely nothing for me.

Fly By Night easily. I like Snakes and Arrows but the songs aren't as good.

 

I voted We Hold On. Just don't like it. The guitar rif gets on my nerves.

Fly By Night again urinates over S&A from the proverbial virtual high cliff...

 

Bravest Face is dire, though there are a few other contenders on snakes for worst song.

Snakes and Arrows is a better album, I think, when truncated down to eight songs (three of which are solid instrumentals). So, it got my vote. While S & A's highs beat out Fly By Night for me, the lows also destroy anything bad on FBN. Bravest Face got worst song overall, but it could have gone to Larger Bowl just as easily.

 

S & A has nine votes. Impressive.

In honour of this thread I am putting on The Bravest Face on my stereo right now, because in my opinion it is the 5th best song on Snakes & Arrows, and would easily be my favourite song on the album if it was recorded for Fly By Night. I just don't get yous peoples objection to it. It's a wonderful song with great lyrics! The worst songs on Snakes & Arrows are the 3 instrumentals followed closely by Good News First, which is the only non-instrumental on the album that I consider unlistenable. Edited by diatribein
