rickyrob Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I have chosen some of the best. Let me know if your choice isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 I'm torn between four that aren't there - Nocturne, Vapor Trail, Alien Shore and Double Agent. I think my vote would go to Vapor Trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 It was between "Driven" and "Secret Touch." I chose "Driven" because I remember my reaction when I first heard it; I liked how heavy it was, and how it sounded like Rush combined with Iron Maiden and Tool. I liked how Rush had completely abandoned the clean guitar/synth sound of their Power Windows through Roll The Bones period and were back to bludgeoning their listeners. "Double Agent" and "Leave That Thing Alone" get honorable mentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyrob Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Sorry guys'n'gals, forgot to add my favourite...silly me Whilst I love the lyrics to Resist, I prefer the live acoustic version "...something a little different" to quote Geddy. I like Animate (quote below), but my absolute favourite is Earthshine. This is such a cool song and sends shudders down my spine. It reminds me a lot of Subdivisions and has a similar tempo. Long live one of the worlds most influential and intelligent bands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaine mac Roth Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I had a lot of difficulty deciding as Rush have done so fantastic stuff in the last decade or so. In the end, it had to be Cold Fire. Alex's riff is amazing and Neil's lyrics are so evocative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Leave That Thing Alone for me. I dunno how well a poll works for this, they have dozens of post 1990 songs. Also just to point out, Presto was released in 1989, so The Pass is previous to 1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixey Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Thats like asking me to pick my favorite kid!!! I just cant do it! Its a total toss up between Animate, Bravado, Cut To The Chase oh forget it. I can go on and on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proggy Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hmmm...let me see... Half The World, Nocturne, Time And Motion, Test For Echo... Yes, any of those four would do nicely! Earthshine, LTTA, Cold Fire, CTTC and Dreamline are bubbling under... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolinda Bonz Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 mmm Earthshine! i mean, if i hafta pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Sphinc-Tor Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I voted Earthshine although there are some other songs I think I might like more but don't really want to think too hard about it first thing in the morning. Good choices though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DifferentStrings89 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I picked other because Ghost of a Chance has to be one of their best post 1990 songs it has so much feel and the solo is just killer!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I voted for The Pass.... just a gorgeous song. That said, I LOVE the acoustic Resist and also The Way It Is, The Larger Bowl (eh), and a few others. To find the best post 1990 song from is like tossing splitting hairs.

Weakly Criminal Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Driven for me as well, and of those not mentioned, Peaceable Kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic2112nic Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Cold Fire, for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyswing Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 This poll was started in 2004, so - obviously - it did not include anything from "Snakes & Arrows." Given the available choices, I selected "Earthshine," though there are many great songs from this era. If "S & A" had been included, I'd have considered voting for "Armor and Sword."

lya2112yyz Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Out of the ones on this list, it came close between Secret Touch, Resist (accoustic version, obviously), Animate, Bravado and The Pass... I guess I could have put "Other" because I love alot of the other songs. Out of these, Secret Touch at the moment. A while ago I would have said Animate and befoe that it would have been The Pass or Bravado. Just one of those impossible descisions I guess...

ReRushed Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 "Driven" I also love "Spindrift". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaye Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 No Between Sun & Moon... (also my 2nd fave song) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Lerxst Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Bravado. Between Sun and Moon is my 2nd favorite post 90's song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 What an odd poll to bump since it's so out of date. Had S&A been included, I would have voted for Armor & Sword in a heartbeat. Without S&A it was still a very easy choice - Dreamline for me is easily their best song from RTB through VT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 And why are Presto songs on this poll? Wasn't that released in 1989? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
