Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Cutting out songs over 6 minutes cuz they'll probably win anyway and I'm not interested in pitting La Villa vs. Working Man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 This poll wasn't quite as hard as picking the best album of 1973, but it is a reminder that Rush really knew how to build up & close down an album experience. Lots of personal favorites on this list. I went with "Vital signs," but honorable mention to "Mystic Rhythms," "Everyday Glory," "Between the Wheels," and "Available Light." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 It`d only be a Working Man vs Strangiato fight for people that don`t own PW. Easy win for Vital Signs from the above selection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST3V Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Close battle between Vital Signs and Everyday Glory but I chose VS because it's such a classic.I also had to put on High Water and Countdown because those were 2 good contenders as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 So, this is the best album closer, not necessarily the best song overall. For me that boils it down to Available Light and Mystic Rhythms...and I'll go with Available Light. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I went with Vital Signs but Between the Wheels and Available Light aren't very far behind. I'm one of the few that likes High Water too. It's no Vital Signs but I do enjoy it. Of the last 5 tracks listed, I dislike 3 of them while 2 are disposable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EG would be second worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Between the Wheels by some margin. One of their best for sure. I'm surprised Vital Signs is doing so well against it actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more surprised that Carve Away the Stone and Out of the Cradle got any votes at all. Double vote by one TRFer though so they're both disqualified!!!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 We Hold On and High Water had no votesBut Available Light did?WTF Available Light is the favorite of many from Presto, whereas We Hold On and High Water are both seen as some of the weakest material on their respective albums by many TRFers. Not nearly all of them mind you, but many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
