1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 No matter what, Hold Your Fire has the most songs that qualify for this. Some may choose "Time Stand Still" as most poppy, but I think it's "Second Nature." Easily. The only song in Rush's catalogue that would be right at home with Celine Dion singing on it. It's AM radio adult contemporary, and I can't believe it's a Rush song. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I always thought the synths and sampling made "Big Money" sound like a pop song. HYF is their most commercial sounding album throughout, so anything from that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoy Hold Your Fire, of course it came out when I was maturing into adulthood. Had I been 14 years old I might had considered the album sell out garbage.

EagleMoon Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I agree about HYF. New World Man also. Roll The Bones is pretty singable so I'd also throw that one in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
