The title track... It is how Rush became able to say that "they had assumed control"

Agreed. Also it was one of the first songs of theirs that I heard.

It IS, and it will always be 2112...however, my vote went to Twilight—just because i'm a huge 'Zone fan, and when i was a kid, i couldn't believe a band had written a song about it! =) RushOn!

2112.

 

Love Something For Nothing .

A verse was written in a birthday card when I was 21 .

And then the penny dropped of what a brilliant lyricist Neil is .

 

 

What you own is your own kingdom

What you do is your own glory

What you love is your own power

What you live is your own story

In your head is the answer

Let it guide you along

Let your heart be the anchor

And the beat of your own song

2112 was the first rock song I ever really listened to. My dad gave me a copy of his 2112 CD when I was in 4th grade and I loved it. It's what made me want to play the guitar. I also liked Twilight Zone, but the whispers in the last chorus scared me :outtahere:

 

I don't listen to 2112 as much now because I prefer A Farewell to Kings to Signals (and Clockwork Angels).

I voted for 2112. I find the Soliloquy segment absolutely heartbreaking. Everything is spot on, and is both bery much of its time, and yet strangely timeless!

For me, the title suite. It is also my second favorite song overall. I also love "Tears"- the mysterious aura of it is so clutching but relaxing- I can't describe it. It's eerily tranquil.

Lessons. Don't know why but it might be my favorite RUSH song ever. Weird huh?

Seems like you've told us before.

But you didn't listen then................... :codger:

2112, title track, was there ever any question? Really?? This was the song that really got me into Rush, the song that had them living up to (and surpassing) all the expectations my dad had caused me to set. Impeccable timing, check. Virtuoistic musicianship, check. Juicy sci-fi storytelling, check. Higher than Robert Plant on helium vocals...check! :P

I loved this track from the opening section, and I still regard it as Rush's best epic, better than even my claimed favorite, Cygnus X-1 Book One.
