Death by Bytor Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Yello! As a new member and a fan (I guess you could call us "Rushians", but that might get confused with "Russians" ) I am making this section. What do you think is the most underrated Rush song of all time? Not just by "Rushians" but by everyone? Me, personally, I think that people don't appreciate "Subdivisions". I love it. I'm not sure if it's underrated, but it's not nearly as popular as "Tom Sawyer" "YYZ" "Roll the Bones", you know. And, if Bytor got into a fight with the Ghost Rider, who would win? I know that's just stupid, buy hey. Be creative as of why, but just tell us which song is most underated. Well, happy posting. -Death by Bytor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q104.3 is a classic rock station out of NY city and there is this one DJ that plays Subdivisions every once in a while. I find that she plays that more than Limelight or Freewill like the other DJs. I do agree that it is underrated, but it's nice to know that there is a classic rock DJ out there that knows a good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearingsky Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Most underated Rush song: Time and Motion From the most underated and underappreciated studio release:Test For Echo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I would have to nominate Prime Mover and Dreamline. It's not like these songs are held in low regard necessarily, but they rarely get mentioned when people are mentioning the great Rush songs, and for me these are right up there with their very best...

sullysue Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 QUOTE (power windows @ Jul 21 2005, 09:13 PM) definately vital signs. My sentiments exactly! I love Vital Signs. You don't hear too much about it. One of my favs. Welcome to TRF, power windows!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclops Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Time and Motion, Coldfire, Marathon. I haven't been here long enough to say something has or hasn't been recognized, but I love these songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPeartFan2112 Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I think a lot of the stuff from Presto gets overlooked. Songs like War Paint, Superconductor, Red Tide, Hand Over Fist, Available Light. I mean, you never hear about those, and they are so good. Presto in general is underrated IMO. The only songs you ever hear from that live are Show Don't Tell and The Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Time and Motion,War Piant and Vital Signs are my three choices. Presto as a whole is way underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pratt Boy Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 QUOTE (clearingsky @ Jul 21 2005, 08:19 PM) Most underated Rush song: Time and Motion T4E was the last of the RUSH albums I bought (2 months ago). Time and Motion sometimes gets stuck in my head and I can't get it out. Other songs that Underrated: Cinderella Man, High Water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sawyer Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 So many underrated unappreciated songs... it's sad -- I vote for In The End - it's a great song, great solo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidcrystalcompass Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Vital Signs and Losing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margana Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Have to agree with some previous posts. Three that would always make it to my favourite list are Vital Signs, Prime Mover and Dreamline. While these are underrated, they generally don't feature on the love / hate. This lists feature songs which people really love and significant groups of people really hate. I love Kid Gloves but I am aware that others hate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death by Bytor Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Thinking back, I realize that "The Trees" is kinda underrated. I like it. It 's defenitly not my favorite, but it's got an interesting story, and it's fairly short as people can play it on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerbils Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 "Lessons" is one of my personal favorites, but it gets no attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleairwaves Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Anything past 1989, as it gets no radio play. I have not heard a single song from RTB to VT for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetrees Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well it have to be songs that are not played on "big" radio stations and/or songs that are not on best of, live, or compilation albums......so.....these are a few of my choices: Countdown Circumstances Prime Mover Middletown Dreams Time and Motion Chemistry Kid Gloves Between the Wheels Red Tide Presto The Big Wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
