Bytor and the Snow-Dog Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Both very dark and heavy songs, which do you prefer? The Necromancer wins by a hair in my book due to the amazing solo in Underthe Shadow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The Necromancer, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Vocals, atmosphere, guitars all go to the Necromancer. I love X-1, but it doesn't match up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Both are amazing pieces of music, but The Necromancer is more interesting to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Cygnus X-1 is my absolute favorite Rush song of all time. Period. . Necromancer doesn't come close, like, at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The Necromancer. I find Cygnus X-1 to be a snooze. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Cygnus X-1, and I say that as a bass player who has always loved playing it. :D 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Grownup Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The Necromancer doesn't work for me so I put my vote on Cygnus X-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Cygnus is the weirdest shit they've ever done and I love it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Cygnus X-1, and I say that as a bass player who has always loved playing it. :D Both are fantastic tunes, but I give the edge to Cygnus for the rhythm section, yes. Equally fun to play on the drums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Cygnus by a mile. Its a very good song, other than some of Geddy's wailing at the very end. The Necromancer is, to my ears, one of their 15 - 20 worst songs. No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na na na Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Cygnus X-1, both are really heavy stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Two tough ones to choose from....I've lived with Necromancer longer, so that's my choice. Both rate highly in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I absolutely love The Necromancer. I absolutely love Cygnus X1. But, I prefer The Necromancer. Blown away by the fretwork of Lerxst. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Necromancer easily. Cygnux X-1 sounds like Spinal Tap. All you need for the show is dancing midgets falling into black holes. Cheesy beyond Velveeta.Neil has been quoted that he detests Cygnus X-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I love The Necromancer, but simply put, Cygnus X1 is the finest, most perfect piece of music ever - EVER It looks better than most movies 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm proud to have bonded more with the outcast/fantasist/off-the-wall Neil than the modern-day Mr Magoo Neil who secretly writes for Hallmark cards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalsBandGuy Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Give me the dark and forbidding lands over the black hole. That being said, they could make a hell of a medley with these 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Avatar Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Necromancer...but then I like Caress of Steel better than A Farewell to Kings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
