26 members have voted

  1. 1. Which do you prefer?

    • The First 3: Hemispheres (Cygnus X-1 Book II), The Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer
    • The Last 3: La Villa Strangiato, Natural Science, Vital Signs
  2. 2. How many of these are/might be in your Top 10 Rush songs?

    • Honestly, none.
      0
    • Just 1.
    • Two of 'em.
    • Three is the magic number.
    • Four sounds about right.
    • Almost all, five.
    • Six of course!!!

Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, and Moving Pictures. Legendary songs filling what are often looked upon by fans as Rush's best albums.

So how would you choose if you had to choose the first 3 tracks or the last 3 tracks on those albums?

Definitely the first group simply because of Vital Signs.

 

I suppose many might vote that way for the same reason but I figure the burliness of La Villa and Natural Science might carry it through.

 

AND there's the "Tom Sawyer is overplayed" crowd that'll cause them to vote for the last 3.

I don't get the overplayed crowd, all they have to do is listen to something else or change the channel.

You were reading my mind with the "Tom Sawyer" line, lol. In spite of that, I voted for the first group because I do still like it once in a while; I never cared for Vital Signs very much. The other 4 songs are tied as big favorites!

Yup, me neither.

Just about everything up to MP and a few on Signals and GUP

 

I don't know anything about Rush after that so I suppose I am just a 1/2 fan

 

I think you might be misunderstanding this poll.

 

This thread is only about 6 songs on 3 albums that I KNOW you love.

 

OK here goes

 

The Trees

Spirit of Radio

Freewill

Red Barchetta

YYZ

Limelight

 

OK???

You're still misunderstanding the poll questions.

 

The first question is about:

the FIRST song off Hemispheres, PeW, and MP (that's a total of 3) vs. the LAST song off Hemispheres, PeW, and MP (that's another 3).

 

The second question is about:

How many of THOSE 6 songs make your Top 10 Rush song list.

 

The Trees, Free Will, Barchetta, YYZ, and Limelight aren't in this discussion because none of them are the first or last tracks on their respective albums.

 

 

If I explain in any more detail, my head may explode. :P

But Hemispheres isn't a song ?????

 

The first side is a whole f***ing half album?????

 

why are you trying to confuse my not very bright brain!?????

In my first post I did specifically say "track".

 

Besides, a long song with multiple sections is still a song

 

Cummon man!!!!

 

Side 1 of Hemispheres is about 5 different songs

"The Sphere" that lovely little acoustic by Alex is a track on its own

Again, I originally said "track". 6 tracks.

I don't make Rush songs, I just listen to them. :hail:

Watch the keyboard solo that Jon does at 7:37

 

Tony Banks and Rick Wakeman would be proud
