Texas King Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Cinderella is in lyrics of both these songs. Pick one of them. Cinderella Man is my easy pick here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Big Money by a narrow margin. I like the middle instrumental section, and Geddy's bass lines are strong throughout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemned2bfree Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I choose not to decide :) I really like these tracks, equally in their own right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diatribein Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The best song from A Farewell To Kings vs. the 3rd or 4th best song from Power Windows. I voted for The Big Money. Goes to show how much stronger the 80s albums are than the 70s ones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show how much stronger the 80s albums are than the 70s ones! Marathon obliterates Madrigal. Headlong Flight decimates Rivendell. Cut to the Chase filets I Think I'm Going Bald. But these only show that I like one song more than another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The best song from A Farewell To Kings vs. the 3rd or 4th best song from Power Windows. I voted for The Big Money. Goes to show how much stronger the 80s albums are than the 70s ones! The lead single from PoW is more embarrassing than the most embarrassing song off of AFTK. It goes to show how far Rush had fallen before the 90s resurgence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But these only show that I like one song more than another. Perhaps you didn't understand what I wrote. Do you consider I Think I'm Going Bald the BEST song off of Caress of Steel AND Cut to the Chase not the best on Counterparts? Similarly, do you consider Rivendell the best off Fly By Night, while thinking Headlong Flight is behind 2 or 3 other songs from Clockwork Angels? If these things are not true, then you misunderstood my point. Which is that even my favourite song from my favourite 70s RUSH album, I like less than my 3rd or 4th favourite song from any of the 80s albums.

diatribein Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Let me try to illustrate my point a little more clearly: diatribein's Top 20 RUSH songs 1973 - 1979 + 198501. Territories02. Mystic Rhythms03. The Big Money04. Circumstances05. Manhattan Project06. Grand Designs07. Cinderella Man08. Marathon09. Something for Nothing10. Closer to the Heart11. By-Tor & the Snow Dog12. The Temples of Syrinx (2112)13. Working Man14. Lakeside Park15. Middletown Dreams16. Fly by Night17. A Farewell to Kings18. The Trees19. A Passage to Bangkok20. Bastille Day So by my account the best song from A Farewell To Kings (My favourite RUSH album from the 70s) would be the 6th best song on Power Windows and my favourite RUSH song released in the 70s would be the 4th best song had it been recorded for Power Windows.

EagleMoon Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I'm picking The Big Money here only because it's more upbeat and I love the drums. Cinderella Man is a great song though, and I love it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it still doesnt matter. Imho, the best song off RTB is still not as good as the worst song off MP. So what? The best song off RTB is still a damn good song that I really enjoy. You think 80s Rush is better than 70s Rush. So what? Many people do. So why does it mess you up so much when someone prefers 70s stuff more than other decades? How does that make sense?! What part are you not getting? Edited April 27, 2017 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part are you not getting? This poll (and practically all the others) specifically asks for me, along with others on this board, to compare songs. What else would you have me do on a thread asking to compare songs? Would it make you happy to have less vocal dissenting voices? I did a fair assessment. It's not my fault that my opinion is so upsetting to you that you have to make spurious analogies in an effort to discredit my personal feelings about the songs in question. It is not without reason to strengthen ones rational when others make arguments that distort ones points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
