Superconductor: Explain the hate, because I like.

Seriously, I like this song a lot. It's a very catchy song with a great riff and when it was preformed live, it seriously looked like they had a lot of fun playing it. I'd rather listen to Superconductor any day over Rivendell, Dog Years, or The Speed of Love.

I've never really understood it other than the backup vocals and the production (both courtesy of that one producer iirc). Fine tune.

I hate eggs of all types. Slimy texture depending on the cooking style, unpleasing odor, and the taste makes me want to gag. However, it remains a beloved dish by millions if not billions.

A simple matter of...taste.

 

Oh Superconductor...

When Rush played it on the Presto tour I remember the crowd and them loving it! It's a decent song I think. It's not Presto's best but certainly not its worst either. I also enjoy it more than half of Roll the Bones. :yes:

 

When the topic of "worst or bad Rush songs" is mentioned, I never think of Superconductor.

I've always liked it too. Never got why it is hated.

Saw that tour four times! LOVED THIS SONG LIVE! I have always loved this song! Nice cowbell smack to open the track!

Fair or not, some of the hate might have to do with the embarrassing video ..

 

The video is terrible. :yes:

 

I like the song, Alex's guitar crunch, and, especially, the groovy bridge.

Unfortunately, the video suits the song perfectly

 

Hard to know. But I'd guess nearly all Rush fans heard the song way before they saw the video. If anything, the most likely case for haters would've been that they hated the song first then later hated the video TOO.

 

And thinking along those lines, the even shittier Time Stand Still video hasn't seemed to stop fans from liking that song

On top of its crumminess, I always thought that they looked like they just got out of bed for that video.

Still, very good song & lyrics

I actually like everytbing about the song minus those dreadful backing vocals.

DULL song!

Funny but it seems that a lot of folks that dig Superconductor will express love for Madrigal or Rivendell. Give me upbeat parody all day over that stuff.
