Narps Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If MP gets more votes and makes it a contest with AFTK, I may have to delete my PeW vote and go with MP to save AFTK.I likes the way you think... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 To me, those high notes at the start of Madrigal are a strength of the song. Love Lifeson's guitar playing in that song--those great chords and the sound of his guitar (and especially when the 12-string acoustic comes in--such a great sound), combined with that great chorusy bass and vocal melody. Not to mention the understated electric swells in the background (someone correct me if I'm wrong about that). Very pretty song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Surprised AFtK is still there. There's only 3 good songs on it anywaysCan't let that one go. Couldn't disagree more and its kind of disappointing to read to be honest...Sorry meant to say "3 Very good songs". The others are good, but I don't think it compares to the material on the other 3 albums featured here. If you mean AFTK, Xanadu, and Cygnus X-1, that's like 75% of the album though :) .

Rutlefan Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) ^^ I could go with that, but now we're at about 2/3 of the album I'd guess. Still a strong argument for it though. Edited March 12, 2015 by Rutlefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I could name a lot of tunes on the remaining albums (actually....all the songs on all the other albums I find better than Cygnus X-1) which is a cool song don't get me wrong. Again....overrated IMO among some of the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 AFTK deserves to outlast MP :tsk: For Xanadu alone it deserves to make the top 3, not to mention the title track, Cinderella Man, and Cygnus X-1 which are all some of their greatest songs of all time. CTTH and Madrigal are perfect album pieces and they round it out very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 AFTK........What a breakthrough in the poll........yea, lol Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I listened to a hybrid, hour-long stretch of Kings and Hemispheres yesterday, that I put together just a couple of days ago. Cueing up Permanent Waves for my drive home from work today. :) I've not voted today- I can't stand to see any of them go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The other thing to consider is how many songs are on each album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you simply demonstrating how to disagree politely? Just curious. Edited March 12, 2015 by toymaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 In all honesty, Moving Pictures is my genuine pick for best album of these four. But AFTK is just too darn special to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted the track listing in the thread where It was being discussed the other day, and everybody who saw it said I should have put Xanadu as the opening song. http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?/topic/92161-a-farewell-to-kings-vs-hemispheres/page__st__60 But I still like it.
