Well, it's my favorite Rush album against my 3rd favorite. Second one being 2112. I'm pretty sure these are going to be all ties.

 

The Spirit of Radio | Tom Sawyer

Freewill | Red Barchetta

Jacob's Ladder | YYZ

Entre Nous | Limelight

Different Strings | The Camera Eye

Natural Science | Witch Hunt + Vital Signs

Permanent Waves wins by virtue of having Natural Science alone. What? Ok, fine, if you don't want my completely unbiased opinion. Fine, I'll go the long way around. :eyeroll:

 

The Spirit of Radio

Freewill

Jacob's Ladder

Limelight

The Camera Eye

Natural Science

 

Special mention, though does go to Vital Signs, because it's in my top 6. But since Natural Science is #1well... So fine. What have we learned here? Told ya so...could've just bi-passed this futility completely and gone with my opening sentence.

Best album of the 70's beats first album of the 80's. My judgement is final, no appeals. Carry on...

Red Barchetta

YYZ

Limelight

The Camera Eye

Natural Science

 

Same here.

 

I like/love all the songs on these albums but the choices were all easy except for maybe Free Will vs Red Barchetta

Jacob's Ladder vs YYZ was tough too.

TSOR

Freewill

JL

Limelight ....face it Entre Nous is a filler track without much going on (no solo)

Different Strings...TCE is much too long and boring AF

NS....I like Witch Hunt, but not Vital Signs (The Police light).

From the other thread. I prefer to have Natural Science appear twice (it is the length of two songs anyway) than double up on Witch Hunt & Vital Signs. Along with Tom Sawyer, Vital Signs is my favourite track on Moving Pictures. Witch Hunt is middle of the road for me, so I rather not pair them. If I was forced to, I guess the pair would beat Natural Science for me. Either way, it is an easy win for Permanent Waves.

 

Tom Sawyer < The Spirit Of Radio

Red Barchetta < Freewill

YYZ > Jacobs Ladder

Limelight ≤ Entre Nous

The Camera Eye < Different Strings

Witch Hunt < Natural Science

Vital Signs > Natural Science

TSOR, but with the utmost respect to TS

Red Barchetta... barely

YYZ, splitting hairs, this one has more hooks

Limelight, by a mildly larger margin than the previous photo finishes

Different Strings, in a surprise turn on events, my least favorite track on PeW edges out my second least favorite on MP

Natural Science > Vital Signs > Witch Hunt, because MP goes out with a couple light experiments and PeW pulls zero punches.

 

PeW > MP, but MP has one of the most perfect Side 1s in history.

Well, for that matter so does PeW. :huh:

- Spirit

- Freewill

- Jacob's Ladder

- Limelight

- Different Strings

- Natural Science

 

Witch Hunt and Vital Signs have a near impossible task ... WH and VS are my two favorites from Moving Pictures, but as good as they are, and as much I a really love Vital Signs, they're not topping Natural Science

 

Jacob's Ladder is at the top of this list of songs in my book

I will choose Freewill.

It should be said that Natural Science would have a shot against Moving Pictures as a whole, but by this criteria it looks like a MP win.

It isn't. Natural Science and Freewill are killers.

Freewill's solo is the best singular thing from these two BUT overall I prefer Redbar.
