Surprised it’s this much of a beating. How many votes did MP lose due to the “I’m tired of hearing Tom Sawyer on the radio” crowd?

:P

 

Favorites from both quartets

NatSci > Limelight

 

Album poster boys

TSoR > Tom Sawyer

 

2nd tracks

Barchetta > Free Will...by the narrowest of margins

 

The other guys

YYZ > Jacob’s Ladder

 

I went with PeW by virtue of NatSci being my favorite Rush song of all time.

Mine, possibly.

 

When I first heard that song I was 11- and it was the single coolest thing I had ever heard in my life.

It's unfair to ol' Tom, but too much probably has muted it.

 

And like you Natural Science is my favorite Rush song.

"Red Barchetta" is a song I actively dislike, so it's really 3 v 4, and the four take it. I'd probably pick (almost) any four from PW over any four from MP, but "RB" made this a lot easier.

 

Wow. I thought I was the only person on this forum that put Red Barchetta last on Moving Pictures. I don't dislike it- but I have no problem skipping it. Had any other MP song been subbed in there would have been a contest.

I was 8 or 9 when it was released. Rush has been my favorite band ever since.

 

There was a pro wrestler back then, Kerry Von Erich, who used Tom Sawyer as his theme music when he came to the ring. They also called him “The Modern Day Warrior”

I pick, and choose the four song quartet of "Permanent Waves" because it has "Jacob's Ladder", which again, has been my overall, second favorite Rush song, and "Natural Science". When the W.W.E. was called the W.W.F., I know at the time, the wrestler Kerry Gene Adkisson, who had the ring name "the Texas Tornado", too. Edited by Derek19
