But also thinking about singing on top of those busy bass lines, and also how busy Neil is on both of those albums, I would definitely say that was their peak as far as technical ability. Plus they also had all the keys going on at that time, sequencers, triggers, etc... much more going on than anything that came before or after.
Its tough to say with guitar because although Alex is great at doing whats best for the song, his technical ability in what he usually plays isnt very high. He's usually just working to fill the sound out more.

Turn the Page has a really tricky bass line.And the fact that Geddy sings over it is crazy.I believe he mentions it took him 3 months to work that up for the HYF tour.

All the answers are great so far. I would like to throw Tom Sawyer in there.

Base=Turn the Page
Guitar=La Villa
Vocals=Hemispheres Side 1
All together? I'd guess La Villa. This song was written for no other reason than for them to show us their chops....and it was written at a time when they were at ther peak in terms of those chops!

Alex himself has said Freewill is the most difficult for him to play live |
Yeah, I'd have to agree that all three parts of that one are very tough.
