"Sweet Miracle." Everyone ignores this song for some reason. It's a song about impostor syndrome as well.

"Rivendell" - Fly By Night

I see why for this one... not an overly impressive song.

"I Think I'm Going Bald" - Caress Of Steel

Aside from the lyrics, this song is a rocker.

"Madrigal" - A Farewell To Kings

Not one of the best ever Rush songs... definitely my least favorite on AFTK. Still a good song though. Take away this song and you got a Top 5 Rush album for me

"Red Lenses" - Grace Under Pressure

Not one of my favorites, but I don't get the hate for this one unless you hate synths.

"Emotion Detector" - Power Windows

The first song of these choices that shocked me. I love this song. Great songwriting for sure.

"Tai Shan" - Hold Your Fire

Okay, I see this one. I like how proggy this song is though... still one of my least fav Rush songs.

"Superconductor" - Presto

Again, a Presto song that doesn't do way too much for me.

"Face Up" - Roll The Bones

Yeah, this is my least fav on RTB. I don't hate any Rush songs, btw.

"Neurotica" - Roll The Bones

I personally thought this song was a jam.

"The Speed Of Love" - Counterparts

The only song from this album I would considerably put low on a tier list.

"Dog Years" - Test For Echo

Same could be said for ITIGB

"The Stars Look Down" - Vapor Trails

Soooo this is the VT song that gets to be one of the choices...? ok...

"Bravest Face" - Snakes & Arrows

Why though?

"Virtuality" - Test For Echo

As I said for ITIGB...

 

 

 

Here's some songs I am surprised aren't on here for choices (though I wouldn't put some of these at the bottom of my ranking lists)

"Need Some Love" - Rush

"In The Mood" - Rush (I see why)

"Vital Signs" - Moving Pictures (lots of people on the forums hate this song for some reason...)

"Losing It" - Signals (don't see why)

"Kid Gloves" - Grace Under Pressure (this song rocks hard)

"Middletown Dreams" - Power Windows (y'know for synth haters?)

"Anagram (For Mongo)" - Presto (this song gets lots of crap thrown at it)

"Roll The Bones" - Roll The Bones (I see why)

"The Color Of Right" - Test For Echo

"BU2B2" - Clockwork Angels

R Before & After

FBN Rivendell

COS Lamneth (sorry)

2112 Tears

AFTK Madrigal

HS Trees (if i had to)

PEW Different Strings

MP Witch Hunt (again, if i had to)

S Losing It

P/G Red Lenses

PW Mystic Rhythms

HYF Tai Shan

P Red Tide

RTB Ghost of a Chance

CP Everyday Glory

T4E Totem

VT How It Is

S&A Larger Bowl

CA BU2B2 (if that doesn't count, Wish Them Well)

I hard disagree with your least favs on Rush, Presto, Roll The Bones, Counterparts, Test For Echo and Snakes & Arrows

Underrated: "Countdown" from Signals. Although "Heresy" from Roll The Bones come close.

Overrated: Not choosing any hits... "Available Light" from Presto. Never got the huge praise for this song. I would also go for 'Alien Shore" from Counterparts as well.

I never thought Countdown was all that underrated, I think a lot of people like it, but I agree with everything else said here (although I might put 2112 in Overrated too)

I would consider Countdown slightly underrated. I think as far as Signals' singles go, ( tongue twister :P ), Countdown doesn't get nearly as much praise as Subdivisions or New World Man. Plus, I always thought the music video was awesome.

 

Also, I nominate Mystic Rhythms for being overrated. Cut To The Chase and Marathon are underrated.

"Mystic Rhythms" overrated? That depends on what website you go to, honestly. Some websites hate this song, and some websites love this song. I also agree with "Cut To The Chase" being underrated.

Rush - "Before And After"

Fly By Night - "Making Memories"

Caress Of Steel - "Lakeside Park"

2112 - "The Twilight Zone"

A Farewell To Kings - "Cinderella Man"

Hemispheres - "Circumstances"

Permanent Waves - "Entre Nous"

Moving Pictures - "Witch Hunt"

Signals - "Countdown"

Grace Under Pressure - "Kid Gloves"

Power Windows - "Emotion Detector"

Hold Your Fire - "High Water"

Presto - "Presto"

Roll The Bones - "Heresy"

Counterparts - "Everyday Glory"

Test For Echo - "Carve Away The Stone"

Vapor Trails - "Sweet Miracle"

Snakes & Arrows - "Faithless"

Clockwork Angels - "Wish Them Well"

For me:

Rush - "Need Some Love"

Fly By Night - "Rivendell"

Caress Of Steel - "I Think I'm Going Bald"

2112 - "Tears"

A Farewell To Kings - "Madrigal"

Hemispheres - "The Trees" (still Top 50 best for me though)

Permanent Waves - "Different Strings" (Top 50 again)

Moving Pictures - "Vital Signs" (again...)

Signals - "Chemistry"

Grace Under Pressure - "Red Lenses"

Power Windows - "Territories"

Hold Your Fire - "Tai Shan"

Presto - "Scars"

Roll The Bones - "Face Up"

Counterparts - "The Speed Of Love"

Test For Echo - "Dog Years"

Vapor Trails- "Out Of The Cradle"

Feedback - "For What It's Worth"

Snakes & Arrows - "Hope" no too easy how 'bout "The Way The Wind Blows"

Clockwork Angels - "BU2B2" again too easy how 'bout "Halo Effect"

I went with "Tai Shan" from Hold Your Fire, but it's still decent. Lots of Presto would be at the bottom of my list too.

Underrated: "Countdown" from Signals. Although "Heresy" from Roll The Bones come close.

Overrated: Not choosing any hits... "Available Light" from Presto. Never got the huge praise for this song. I would also go for 'Alien Shore" from Counterparts as well.

Available Light. Never understood why it was always highly regarded on Presto.
