blueschica Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Xanadu wins it for me! Both are excellent, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Xanadu (but another day it will be Xanadu). :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I love the first 4-5 minutes of Xanadu, and 2112's Overture, Temples, Discovery and Priests. 2112's best parts give it the win for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 2112 by far. It means to much to me, and it is a epic story! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas King Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 2112 but another day it could have been Xanadu. Xanadu is far from metal, it's mostly soft. 2112 is heavy and close to metal. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went for the more epic song. Xanadu is epic but 2112 is EPIC! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Love the story of 2112, and the power of it. And the quiet bits. Yep, all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceaudity11 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Xanadu by Olivia Newton John (duh)... Just kidding, Xanadu (by Rush) all day everyday. Edited May 1, 2019 by spaceaudity11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) 2112 - pretty important track -- all cylinders a-go, full bombast, Geddy just going for it vocally (it is one of the best vocal performances of the 70s). HOWEVER No tubular bells, no cowbells, no double-necks, no volume swells, no foot pedals, and no references to Kublai Khan and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Xanadu wins.

Planet X-1 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) 2112Â ...although I'd take the ESL version of Xanadu over the abbreviated version of 2112 from ATWAS...(Alex's live intro is epic) :D Edited May 1, 2019 by Planet X-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Just checking to say, it is still Xanadu! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grep Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) 2112. Balls. Prototype Prog-Metal. The first Rush I heard when I was 9 in 1976. Plus, the whole dine on honeydew aspect of Xanadu kills that song for me.

HemiBeers Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 both equally awesome, but there's more of 2112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
