LyndseyG Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sorry Im late! I've had to have a bit of a think about this! La Villa Strangiato Cygnus X1 Hemispheres Xanadu Fountain Of Lamneth 2112 Natural Science The Camera Eye Jacob's Ladder By-Tor And The Snowdog The Necromancer I've tried to be as honest as I can, sometime the bottom seven shuffle around. It's made this harder than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyLeeRoth Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 1. La Villa Strangiato--best instrumental ever, by anyone. Ever. 2. 2112--I need no explanation for greatness. 3. Hemispheres--Rivals 2112. 4. Natural Science--Brings PeW to a whole other level. 5. Bytor & The Snow Dog--Barely an epic, but a killer song. 6. Xanadu--one of the most atmospheric Rush songs ever. Incredible. 7. Jacob's Ladder--See comments 4 & 5. 8. Cygnus X-1--I love how this song brings so much crushing heaviness to the ending of a somewhat less heavy album. 9. The Camera Eye--Not even one of the better songs on MP--which says how great that album is! A classic nonetheless. 10. The Necromancer--The narration is goddawful and it has some structural problems. I love Under The Shadow, but over-rated by you COS Zealots who are all caught up in the imagery of the album cover. 11. The Fountain--No One At The Bridge & Bacchus Plateau are great, the rest of the song(s), not so much. In The Valley and The Fountain just don't have great riffs like Overture & Grand Finale from 2112, this epic lacks cohesion or spunk. Once again, over-rated.

JohnnyBlaze Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 1. Natural Science 2. La Villa Strangiato 3. Hemispheres 4. 2112 5. Xanadu 6. The Camera Eye 7. Cygnus X-1 8. Jacob's Ladder 9. By-Tor and the Snow Dog 10. The Fountain of Lamneth 11. The Necromancer The top 5 were just as hard to put in order as the last 6. All great stuff here. But my 1 & 2 here are probably my top 2 Rush tunes of all time anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastille Dave Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 QUOTE (ReRushed @ Apr 3 2012, 12:22 AM) QUOTE (rushgoober @ Apr 2 2012, 11:36 PM) One thing that baffles me is when people don't have Xanadu and La Villa at #1 and #2, or at least close to the top. Don't get me wrong, I love most of the other epics on the list, but those two songs are sheer perfection. I'm with you on this one. also in agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Here's mine, with the requisite caveat that I love every one of these songs, so last place is no slight. Also, I actually wouldn't mind seeing the entirety of Clockwork as one epic piece since there's a theme. I realize that structurally it doesn't necessarily count. I'm not sure Clockwork Angels the song counts as epic unto itself, but if we count the song I'll make it the new number nine shifting all the ones below down a spot. The album as a whole would be placed about 4th, but it's grounds for consideration are fairly weak. 1. Natural Science2. Hemispheres3. Xanadu4. The Fountain of Lamneth5. 21126. The Necromancer7.

YYZ Working Man Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 A Drummers perspective-Beware i got the 2112 badge tonight so you have to take me seriously..LOLMy Rankings and general comments; 1-La Villa: The Pinnacle. There are no other words-Put this against any other instrumental in any class - 10/10. always #12-Hemispheres: " how did you even come up with that?" You will never hear this level if musicianship again..-This album knocked the hell out of them-real work !! wowNatural Science " Imagine the frigginn energy a drummer would get from this pulling it off"??? (Tide pools of Lac Perry-straight energy of the studio atmosphere )Xanadu: " sorry I'm lost in a rain forest but because of this music I will stay here forever-call off the rescue team"-epic musical imagination-damn those double necks The Camera Eye "truly underated- straight out of Morin heights "Jacobs Ladder: what do you think of when you see a sun beam out of a dark and cloudy sky to the heavens?Cygnus X1: The darkness.... do ..do do do ent..do do d,d dount do- oh man2112: the best concert moment for me.. (imagine Max Webster opening for Rush on a mid 70's New Year's Eve???Headlong Flight: the new Alex-My daughters favorovite Rush song-thats just cool . shes 21 and blown away by headlong flight. ya Dad was right about this guy...By-Tor & the Snowdog: so cool-the first epic-slightly before my time but I love it The Necromancer : OK I get it - love it but I agree with Taylor Hawkins-it's not !First choice to play for Lamneth your wife who knows Rush but lost here.Fountain of Lamneth : I would have put YYZ here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 9. Clockwork Angels (at 4 seconds longer than Jacob's Ladder, I vote for its inclusion) Seems reasonable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
