Rush- None, really

Fly By Night- Title Track (Great, but far from their best. Even on the album, Anthem and By-Tor blow it away.)

Caress of Steel- Fountain of Lamneth (Diadects and Narpets section is pointless, Panacea is boring, like the rest)

2112- None

Farewell to Kings- Xanadu (And by that I mean it's merely one of their best instead of their best)

Hemispheres- None

Permanent Waves- Spirit of Radio (Great, but far from the best. Even on the album, Jacob's Ladder and Natural Science blow it away)

Moving Pictures- Vital Signs (Everyone likes it, I hate it)

Signals- New World Man (Ditto)

Haven't heard much there on, but Time Stand Still and Available Light are really bad, so I guess i'd put those.

Rush: Here Again, great track, but not as great as it's often given credit for

FBN: In The End, live version deserves the praise, not so much this

CoS: Lakeside Park, good, but not really great by their standards

2112: A Passage To Bangkok, gets old after a while

AFTK: ...well, Xanadu if anything, but you can't overrate that... I forfeit

Hems: Cygnus Book II, missing the fire of their earlier material and the immediacy of their later material, very very good though

PeW: ...Freewill if anything, but only cause it gets a little old after some overexposure, still epic

MP: Witch Hunt, excellent track, but lacking the immediacy of much of the rest of the record, almost feels out of place in certain ways... But maybe also The Camera Eye...

Signals: well, Subdivisions I guess, but only out of moderate overexposure like with Freewill, this thing is still top tier Rush

p/g: Kid Gloves or Afterimage, the first is a bit to silly for all its praise, the second, while touching lyrically, gets musically monotonous very fast.

PoW: Mystic Rhythms, only because it receives loads of praise versus other songs on an album where every track is pretty dang equal.

HYF: tough, I think a lot of the deep cuts here are over praised for being better than the two end tracks, even though they're still pretty good, I don't think they compare to the big hit openers, stuff like TTP, PM, or sometimes Mission.

Presto: The Pass, by the band themselves. Lyrical masterwork? maybe. Songwriting masterwork? Not really no.

RTB: either Ghost of a Chance or Bravado, too sappy, not enough punch

CP: Animate, good, maybe even great, not amazing though.

T4E: ...Driven? Just cuz people recognize its greatness and dismiss the rest of the album? Do enough people even like t4e to call anything here overrated?

VT: One Little Victory, because people remember this one and like to forget all the rest of the at least as good if not even better tracks on the rest of the album

S&A: Armor and Sword? I dunno

CA: Headlong Flight, b/c people forget how great the entire album is just cuz they think this track is the best, though it is awesome.
