Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Two of Rush's most commercial tunes and moderate radio staples, often hated on by fans for lack of something or another or overexposure, but which is better (or worse)? Post you opinions and why you hold them below, and fill out the poll above! Also, the poll contains another Q I thought might be interesting to ask.

rocket ignites Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Closer to the Heart...classic. I'm still high on New World Man, but maybe not as much as years past. It certainly has plenty of commercial appeal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eel Yddeg Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Closer to the Heart, no contest. I also relate to it, it was the first Rush song I heard on the radio! New World Man is a terrible, terrible song. Edited April 23, 2016 by Eel Yddeg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, CTTH pisses all over New World man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Closer to the Heart by a mile. I don't really like New World Man much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 CTTH. Not a fan of NWM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 CTTH, although I could do without either one for quite a while. NWM has nothing that draws me to listening to it. Big pile of indifference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Voted for CTTH by a hair. Its a very hard pick over New World Man. Both are very good songs. Voted "Yes" & "Yes" to the other questions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disembodied Spirit Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I have not listened to New World Man in 30 years and have no plans to ever again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefeltner11 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I thought people had a higher affinity for New World Man than what responses so far are indicating! Anyway, I still agree with the majority that Closer to the Heart is decidedly better in every possible way. No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I like New World Man - great drumming, a cool bass part. Sort of a throwaway guitar part, but still cool. Closer to the Heart is a very well-put-together little tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permanent-Rush Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I like both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern_Day_Warrior Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I chose Closer To The Heart, as it is my favorite Rush song of all time. I've always thought that it just encapsulates Rush, even though it is only 3 minutes long. New World Man is one my least favorite Rush songs. It just bores me, and the keyboards are really cheesy.
