Its a pretty song. I really like most of Pretzel..I mean pesto..PRESTO!!

 

I must be hungry.

[HorsemanOfTheApocalypse]

Available Light by a whisker, just ahead of Cut To The Chase.

[Cyclonus X-1]

1) Emotion Detector

2) Available Light

3) Open Secrets

4) Cut to the Chase

 

Good songs.

[Narps]

Available Light....

[rocket ignites]

No question, I pick Cut to the Chase (a danger I'm prepared to face).

[LakesideShark]

I'm going with Cut To The Chase.

[driven_to_xanadu]

I like Open Secrets the best although all of these songs are quite good and underrated gems of the Rush catalog.

 

 

1. Open Secrets

2. Emotion Detector

3. Cut to the Chase

4. Available Light

Two of my favourite songs by any band EVER on this list: Open Secrets and Available Light.

 

They both win.

[laughedatbytime]

They all suck. I'm glad none of these are taking up time and energy in the set list.

I agree that they are both great. I don't really care for the other 2 on the list. By an incredible close margin I will vote for Available Light however.

[HemiBeers]

1. Cut to the Chase - the only song on the list that has any 'drive' to it that makes it a good concert song.

2. Emotion Detector - hidden gem on PW

 

The other 2 are on synthy albums that I detest. Dry and boring.

You're easily the worst part of this board. Lol.

[Blue J]

You're easily the worst part of this board. Lol.

 

That was certainly uncalled for.

[Blue J]

Toss-up between Open Secrets and Available Light.

 

May I choose both, please?

 

Or is that considered a choice not to decide?

[kentpilot]

You're easily the worst part of this board. Lol.

 

That was certainly uncalled for.

 

Implying I'm being serious.

I guess...if I had to vote...I would go for Open Secrets.

 

But Available Light is amazing, so I vote for Available Secrets.

 

I give up.

Cut To The Chase is a stinker. In fact, pretty much all of Counterparts has lost me over time (whereas Roll The Bones is slowly improving to my ears).

I used to love Counterparts, but it has lost some of its luster...Roll the Bones, out of its ten songs, has about seven good ones.

 

So I'd still say both albums are pretty good.

It isn't so much the songs on CP I dislike, it is simply the fact that altogether I dislike that album experience. Cold Fire, Everyday Glory, Animate, and Nobody's Hero remain great songs. Only song I truly dislike is Stick It Out.

 

Roll The Bones has improved a lot to my ears. I don't love it, but the first three songs, The Big Wheel, Ghost Of A Chance and even You Bet Your Life have grown on me (YBYL not by much, but hate it I do not!).
