Worst original studio Rush song.

I gotta go with Tai Shan. Only Rush song I absolutely can not listen to. I've tried. Doesn't work. Too Asian-inspired.

Racist!

"Nobody's Hero" is pretty embarrassing.

I really don't understand how this could be name checked as the worst Rush song, nor do I get how it is embarrassing.

Lyrics. Worst rock song lead-in lyrics ever?

Sure, it's a goofy way to start a song, lyrically. But I'm sure some people would say the same thing about The Trees

I would be one of those guys. My first TRF thread was on that very topic, I think...Neil's horrible first lines. Should be from 2006, I think.

I have tto say i like nearly everything Rush.For me to select their worst song i would have to look at all the factors in the song before i would give an answer.Was the lyrics crap(Dog Years)but the music great,crap music but good lyrics,crap production but good songs,Ged whoahing too much but Alex plays a great solo,etc.All this troubles me and i am afraid it will take some amount of time and research to come to a conclusion and therefore i will be unable to give an answer till 2112(and no that is not the answer).Thanks for reading.

I gotta go with Speed of Love. The start is rather promising, and you think it´s gonna be good, but then it isn´t, and it just freaks me out...kinda like this:

Worst lead in lyrics ever?! VAFFANCULO to that "worst lead in lyrics ever"

 

Neil actually had the balls to write a song about that kind of subject matter in the 1990s.

 

 

Anyway, the worst Rush song ever accolade goes to Rivendell.

And failed at doing it artfully in his all too familiar ham-handed way.

Face Up

 

Face Up is pretty mediocre for most of it, BUT I just love that slow down part.

 

"You get all squeezed up inside

like the days were carved in stone

you get all wired up inside

and it's bad to be alone

 

You can go out, you can take a ride

and when you get out on your own

you get all smoothed out inside

and it's good to be alone"

 

I don't know if it does it for anyone else, but for me, the music and lyrics really captures the joy of being stressed, grabbing the keys, and just speeding off down a winding country road for awhile. The rest of the song is meh, but that back end of the song really kicks butt. :)
