EagleMoon Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 When I first saw the thread title, I thought it was quite funny When I saw that the voting was actually close, it became not funny Well I have just watched Time Stands Still The video is tragic really terrible Neil looks very gay in that vest. Alex sound is nice but the whole thing is complete shit. I will watch the rest now Neil is not wearing a vest. He actually looks super cute in this vid Tank top. Wife beater. Hmm?? Just clarifying what he was wearing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirteen Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 IMO Anthem and Time stand still are the two songs that define two very distinct eras of Rush. I went with Time stand still because I think it 'flows' better as a song. Anthem still kicks ass though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Man this is crazy close! I thought it'd be more like 65% Anthem, 35% Time Stand Still. An interesting surprise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Man this is crazy close! I thought it'd be more like 65% Anthem, 35% Time Stand Still. An interesting surprise. Yup, I was thinking it would be 70 - 30.Im wondering if Aimee Mann had any influence on the votes with some of the impressionable folks on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Both songs are great, but they are so incredibly different that it's not like I'm ever deciding which one I should listen to--each would be used for completely different moods or circumstances. Having said that, I'll take Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I was thinking it would be 70 - 30.Im wondering if Aimee Mann had any influence on the votes with some of the impressionable folks on here.I'm guessing it's NOT the Aimee Mann factor. I'd guess it's the factor of seeing either song getting its ass kicked influencing some TRFers voting in the way to make it a close race. If it were La Villa Strangiato vs Bravest Face, very few would care that it's an obliteration. BUT Anthem and TST are both well liked already. So yeah, that's my theory anyway. It'd be cool IF there were a way to hide ALL votes until a specified time designated by the op. When that deadline is reached THEN the poll closes and the results are showed. That'd be a cool option to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 You can decipher who the forum hard men and who the forum soft touches are with this poll. Before anyone smites me, I'm calling myself a soft touch with this comment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Do you like Foreigner? I don't mean all of the soppy ballads The early stuff was great I used to play "Feels like the first time" in my band years ago I LOVE FOREIGNER! Soppy ballads and all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diatribein Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) This was much closer last night 20 - 17 before a few more gatekeepers voted. If it were La Villa Strangiato vs Bravest Face, very few would care that it's an obliteration. BUT Anthem and TST are both well liked already. Voting Bravest Face on that one 100 out of 100 times! Brilliant social justice lyrics with awesome music verses a long and drawn-out instrumental (yawn). Edited February 15, 2017 by diatribein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Two different tunes evoking two different sets of responses, I like both for different reasons. Anthem however, is clearly the better song by some margin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Id rather listen to Time Stand Still than Anthem. It has much more meaning to me. Freeze this moment a little bit longer... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Goose But Time Stands Still is rubbish, I don't listen to the words so if the lyric is good then cool. But the song and video are hopeless. Just no direction, awful I am not saying that Rush should have kept writing complex 22 minute songs but it is useless Just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to it again but I cant see any redeeming features apart from Alex has a great sound and Geddy's vocal is quite nice Actually its not that bad a song I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Wow. It took just 12 minutes to go from "no redeeming qualities" to "it's a good track"?! Since it was that easy, you should give everything from the mid-80s to CA another go. I'm serious. There are plenty that are way better than Time Stand Still. And I think the song is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
