La Villa,Followed very,very closely by YYZ. The three on Snakes and Arrows are also rather splendid.
-
Exit Stage Left
-
Vapor Trails-for the sheer will and endurance of the human mind and soul it represents.Not to mention the great songs.

19 - Best Song From Snakes & Arrows
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Good News First-perfect.So is the rest.This one is just that much ''perfecter''. Also Main Monkey Business.It's hard making something like that sound so ''easy''. -
Summertime Blues-nice mix of the Blue Cheer and the Who's versions. The whole ep is fun,tho,you can sense the kick they get out of playing these ol' chestnuts.

17 - Best Song From Vapor Trails
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Vapor Trail-but I absolutely love the album as a whole.Everything about it. Songs,lyrics,the sound(YES!It's like that for a reason,people)and the no-solo-policy:a mature,selfless and well thought-out move. -
16 - Best Song From Test For Echo
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Totem-lately,one of my all-time,fave Rushes.Maybe the Viking references?I also like Immigrant Song and Kings & Queens by Aerosmith.Coincidental? -
15 - Best Song From Counterparts

Stick it Out-nice and noisy -
14 - Best Song From Roll The Bones
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Roll the Bones-the great,uplifting message about life and mortality,the chorus(one of their best,imo,the main part is pretty average)AND the rap,which caused a lot of you guys to hyperventilate,just admit it -
The Pass-and this is the other one.Great to have the guitar back(to some extent,but what a flatliner,soundwise)
-
12 - Best Song From Hold Your Fire
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Time Stands Still-for the message,melody and Aimee's wonderful vocal. This is one of only two Rush-albums where I don't care much for the sound and arrangments. -
11 - Best Song From Power Windows
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Manhattan Project-the lyrics. (Big Money is maybe a cooler song when it comes to melody) -
10 - Best Song From Grace Under Pressure
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Between the Wheels-for the emotion and darkness.Love the lyrics on the album. -
Subdivisions-once again,almost a tie.
-
08 - Best Song From Moving Pictures
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Vital Signs-completely slaughters the Police on their own game.Is a billion times better,tho. But again,the whole album is spectacular.The rest of the album ties for second place,this song is just that bit more special for me. -
07 - Best Song From Permanent Waves
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Jacob's Ladder-massive -
La Villa Strangiato-it always brings a smile to my face,freaky little brainmelter that it is. First heard it after a bit too much of the old wacky-backy.Made sense then,makes sense now.
-
05 - Best Song From A Farewell To Kings
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Closer to the Heart-a gigantic leap forward,songwriting-wise. Not that I don't love the old,epic,sword'n'sorcery-stuff,this just gives me more,emotionally. That great intro,combined with the lyrics and Geddy's first,really great singing on tape.The drums and guitar is also rather nifty. -
The Twilight Zone-great riffs,also that creepy,lovely ''quiet'' part a.k.a. the chorus.If I had to pick ONE that is,the whole caboodle is greater than great.

03 - Best Song From Caress Of Steel
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Bastille Day,not too fond of the epics here,for some reason(my least fave Rush-album?) -
02 - Best Song From Fly By Night
The Other,Other One replied to RushRevisited's topic in Totem Polls
Anthem-for the opening alone. -
Here Again,agree on the solo,but the whole song is beautiful. Working Man is also great,but a bit of an ''obvious'' choice.
