  1. 1. 2112 or Xanadu?



Recommended Posts

I love the first 4-5 minutes of Xanadu, and 2112's Overture, Temples, Discovery and Priests. 2112's best parts give it the win for me.

2112 but another day it could have been Xanadu.

 

Xanadu is far from metal, it's mostly soft. 2112 is heavy and close to metal. :)

Well that didn't have anything to do with why I voted for 2112 believe it or not. I just went for the more epic song. Xanadu is epic but 2112 is EPIC!

2112 - pretty important track -- all cylinders a-go, full bombast, Geddy just going for it vocally (it is one of the best vocal performances of the 70s).

 

HOWEVER

 

No tubular bells, no cowbells, no double-necks, no volume swells, no foot pedals, and no references to Kublai Khan and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

 

Xanadu wins.

2112. Balls. Prototype Prog-Metal. The first Rush I heard when I was 9 in 1976.

 

Plus, the whole dine on honeydew aspect of Xanadu kills that song for me.
