micgtr71 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 In the minority again. I chose this for two reasons. The bass solos at the end and the fact that it is my son's favorite Rush song. He is 10! When they played this on the last tour we were in the 12th row at SPAC. He had a look of pure enchantment when Geddy Lee came out. It was a special moment for me.

graylensman Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 How do you chose amongst perfection? Each track is remarkably different from the other, yet they all carry an unmistakeable sound of a band at its best. I ended up choosing "Limelight" because I'm a sucker for that riff. IMHO, Moving Pictures distills all that had come before and points the way to what comes after. Truly a seminal work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Really hard choice between Red Barchette and Limelight. I'll go with Limelight because of the awesome solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) Tom Sawyer; not overrated. A top 20 all-time Rush song. Vital Signs & Red Barchetta next. All songs great. 5/5 Edited May 5, 2010 by Silas Lang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TampaRushFan Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Red Bar - freakin' - chetta! When I saw the Presto tour back in '90, the second Alex started in with the intro to this song, the entire arena exploded in cheering, and it was hard hearing Getty's voice after that. This is just a great song to sing along to. I adore it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shreddy Lee Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hands down YYZ for me, not only my favorite Rush song but probably my favorite song by anyone, ever. I've literally listened to it hundreds of times - adding together all the iTunes play counts of all the different versions of it I have, the grand total at the moment is 533 plays. And I've never once gotten tired of it. I've never encountered any other song with a riff that rocks so hard, and yet the song has so much depth and is an outstanding display of musicianship - each instrument is played to absolute perfection. The song represents what I love most about Rush, and music in general, and it is simply the most brilliant piece of musical genius I've ever heard. Specifically, Geddy's bassline. Whereas I didn't have any interest in it before, hearing the bassline to YYZ turned me into a lover of the bass and made me aspire to become a player myself.

J2112YYZ Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Tough one here but I voted for The Camera Eye. I've always been a fan of the epic songs. This was Rush's last long epic they wrote and it was a nice way to close end that part of their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red barchettta Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I have been arguing that RB is the best song ever recorded; only to get laughed, ridiculed and belittled. Then I found this site; there is love out there for RB which I never imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112freak Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 aside from the obvious choices, The Camera Eye and Witch Hunt just do it for me!!! funny side note......when i first got the album, my friends and i used to play dungeons and dragons with it playing in the background. i then carried that over to me and my brother playing Othello in our bedroom while listening to it and it's been our tradition for under 30 years now!
