YYZumbi Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Whats you favorite Rush instrumental song? 1 is your favorite and 8 is your least favorite. And you cant count 2112 - Overture/grand finale since its a part of a long song. Not either any of Neils drum solos or Broon's Bane, since they have only been played live! 1. La Villa Strangiato2.

lifeson90 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 obviously la villa no.1 as its the greatest rock instrumental ever by anybody, but after that just depends what mood i in. limbo's great would have loved to see that live, in fact i might just check out youtube now for it, but all the other instrumentals are kind of the same quality below the brilliant la villa for me. dunno what the guys were on when they wrote that thing. truly awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Sure, why not... La Villa StrangiatoLeave That Thing AloneYYZThe Main Monkey BusinessLimboMalignant NarcissismHopeWhere's My Thing? I like all of their instrumentals. It's a little unfair to Hope given it's more of a small acoustic solo compared to the other ones. Where's My Thing is good but it sounds a bit castrated like the rest of RTB. If I was going for live versions it'd probably be ranked a little higher, because that version on the CA Tour is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it took them longer to do this than it took to record Fly By Night then it was quite the feat. Fantastic track, no doubt. Best instrumental of any band ever written, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 To this day I still have trouble knowing which one is Where's My Thing and which is Leave That Thing Alone. Is there some easy way to remember? I'm at work, so I might need to go on Youtube to remind myself. Yeah, I'm kinda dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...Limbo’s not that bad imho. It’s definitely no Strangiato or YYZ and I do rank it lower than the other 90s instrumentals too but I never skip it.
