Disk98 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I just happen to enjoy Closer to the Heart more. Tom Sawyer isn't bad by any means, but it's WAAAY to overplayed. Used to be the same with CTTH, but now I think I just miss it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 They're both equally good. Just different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 CTTH...that line "Mean,mean pride" just grates on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerrobin Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I'm definitely in the minority here! Whilst of course I think Tom Sawyer is great and obviously defines Rush in many ways, CTTH simply resonates with me more as a song. It's hard for me not to listen to the opening guitar riff on CTTH without getting chills and Tom Sawyer just doesn't quite connect on the same level. So yeah, Closer to the Heart for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 CTTH simply resonates with me more as a song. They're both songs...neither one is more of a song than the other. They're both completely definable as songs...equally... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally subjective of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graxxus Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Tom Sawyer is the totality of Rush embodied in one song. It Rocks, it's accessible yet it's complicated, it's got a killer ensemble solo section, it uses synths but still is trio at the core. Amazing song. Flawless craftsmanship.

Xanadu Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Closer to the Heart As the first Rush song I ever remember hearing, it is closer to my heart as well. :D (Although TS may be the "better" song). I'm also considerably less sick of it. Edited October 3, 2015 by Xanadu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiquark Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I doubt the OP is concerned with any followups to this poll, since he is no longer participating in TRF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
