Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) After listening to both Fly By Night and Bastille Day again earlier today, I remembered how awesome these two songs are and how similar. Who wins? Once again, I must choose not to decide...it's so difficult. Let the wonders of the wor-orld claim their bloody prize!

Cyclonus X-1 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Bastille Day. And it's on the better album too. Just ask Geddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Anthem, though one's a 9.96 and the other a 9.95. Bastille Day is the only one that's the best song on the album though. Edited March 9, 2015 by laughedatbytime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Anthem.... Could you even imagine Rush playing this on R40? It would be epic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Anthem.... Could you even imagine Rush playing this on R40? It would be epic. No, I can't imagine it, mainly because Ged is never gonna get those screams right with his voice nowadays. If they just played the instruments it would be cool though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Easily a tie...both tunes are great! Remember... Anthem was the tune that Neil first worked on with the boys! Edited March 11, 2015 by Jaminbenb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg2112 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Anthem for both. But it must be noted that the live Bastille far exceeds the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Pretty much a tie, but I voted for Bastille since it was the first cut that I heard Rush on ATWAS. It gets a slight bonus for multiple key changes during the solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 This has been another tough, and hard choice between two of Rush's earlier songs. With "Anthem", from their second c.d., and album "Fly By Night", which was Neil Peart's first one in the band, and group, and "Bastille Day", from their third c.d., and album "Caress of Steel", which was Neil Peart's second one in the band, and group, and overall, third c.d., and album in, and with the band, and group. For those reasons, I didn't vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
