Hey all my fellow Rush geeks.

 

This is my first poll. Its my first anything actually. I hope you enjoy it.

 

 

 

1 more thing. i didnt include some songs (Hemispheres, YYZ, La Villa, The rest of 2112, Red Barchetta, etc.) because there were a lot of riffs in those particular songs. So if i Didnt put your favorite up there, post it and tell me why you like it.

 

Later. 1022.gif

Earthshine... it sounds so "stoner rock" and RUSH at the same time...

What a difficult question! On the basis of the riff only I chose Xanadu. I'm sure there is something else in particular. If it includes live versions of the song then I would be tempted to go for Analog Kid or Marathon.

I voted for Spirit of Radio's beginning riff. I can't see how

 

1) Alex could ever think up that riff and

 

2) how he could play it!

 

I can't even play that riff on my piano!

 

I also like the main riff of the Counterparts song, stick it out, not that it's hard to play, but it's cool!

Anthem,my choice before seeing the list

No need to look any further than R30 Overture for a "best of"
