Totem poll [a Rod in Rio production]

[JohnnyBlaze]

My producer, Antonio Banderas (aka Rod in Rio), was thinking about this poll. So here it is. :hail:

 

When will someone have the gut to make a "Totem poll"?

B -.

 

The lyrics kind of fit for Rush in that time period. T4E has some real doozies. Totem is catchy, so that helps make it a fun song.

[LakesideShark]

"Totem" is honestly my favorite Rush song, so I rate it an A+. :D

I wonder if any TRFers feel the same or at least give it an A or an A-. Nobody yet.

 

I went with C and "I don't hate 'em...". I can think of tons better and worse so I gave it what I did

[EagleMoon]

D+. Not Dog Years bad but almost.

[Stormtron]

D...and I'd still rank it as the fourth best song on Test for Echo. Shows how much I enjoy that album. Sweet chariot, swing low...really guys?

 

I like Alex's solo though.

Not including Feedback, it's my 3rd least liked Rush album.

 

I don't hate anything on T4E but there are plenty on it that i don't care about or are below average.

Thanks for putting this together, JB!

 

I like Totem - cool solo, and clever puns on the lyrics. I was sure they were going to play it live when T4E was released.

No problem :cheers:

 

It's interesting that EVERY choice has been selected at least once except for "D-" and "A"

It´ll never be an A because we have Tom Sawyer, La Villa, Xanadu etc. to measure against Totem. And it´ll never be a D- because we have Tai Shan, High Water and Dog Years.

A PLUS for my choice..love this song. Neil's clever and fun!

He may have 12 disciples, but NP does not have a Buddha's smile.

He has a Freemason's frown. :(

Or a Scientologist's scowl.

How about a Mormon's mug?

[Verena]

I rate Totem with B.

Lyrics are OK.

Thank s for being a proxy for our Rod.

 

I like the song, good song, good album.

Oh no, OH NO. I love ya Rio but no. You did NOT just disparage Dog Years and High Water.

 

I am a bit dismayed but I...I...I...

 

I can't do it, can't do it.

I can't do it, can't do it.

 

 

In all honesty, I like High Water and Dog Years isn't so bad (musically anyway).

 

My Fs would be for You Bet Your Life, Bravest Face, Neurotica, and Speed of Love.

I like Neurotica. Replace that with The Big Wheel.
