"Nobody's Hero," easily. And it happens to be my favorite all-time Rush song. heart.gif rose.gif

 

In live performances, whenever Geddy sings the last line ("Noooobody's heroooooo...") as it fades to black, I get chills and tears well up in my eyes. It's like, "Damn it, Rush, stop making me cry!" But that shows you the power of their music. tongue.gif

This is tough...

It's between Nobody's Hero and Leave That Thing Alone. I'll go with the latter. And then Nobody's Hero, and then Everyday Glory, and then Cold Fire, Double Agent, Animate, Stick It Out, Between Sun And Moon, Cut To The Chase, Alien Shore, and finally The Speed Of Love.

Not their best album: in fact I can only recall one or two of their songs, one of them is "Animate" and that wonderful drum intro by The Prof.

 

Still stands the test of time (the song, rather than the album)

Cut to the Chase! Love this album, and would call it a 'classic' if the lyrics were slightly better. Some of the stuff from things like Nobody's Hero, Alien Shore... the lyrics are kind of clunky.

 

1- Cut to the Chase

2- Between Sun and Moon

3- Leave That Thing Alone

4- Stick it Out

5- Cold Fire

6- Animate

7- Double Agent

8- Alien Shore

9- Nobody's Hero

10-Everyday Glory

11-The Speed of Love

Not really one of my favourite Rush albums, but not really my least favourite (that honour goes to TFE.) That being said I kinda dig Everyday Glory.

It is the fire that lights itself

But it burns with a restless flame

The arrow on a moving target

The archer must be sure of his aim

This was another album that I did not get into when it came out. Was greatly impressed by the song writing but it just did not click for me. So much so that I used to call this album Counterfarts. Saw Rush on this tour and, just as seeing Rush on the Presto tour had not helped my opinion of that album, the show did not help my opinion of this album. Like Presto the album went to the back of the stack and it saw little play.

 

In recent years however this album, again just like Presto, has enjoyed a renaissance and is now seeing regular duty in my CD player.

 

Went with Cold Fire although I easily could have gone with the equally brilliant Nobody's Hero, Alien Shore, The Speed of Love or Everyday Glory. Or perhaps even with Between the Sun and Moon - although that song loses points with the "ahh yes to yes to ahh ahh to yes, why the sun why the sun" lines.

 

Why inflict those lines on an otherwise great song?
