GeddysMullet Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I'm not going to say that I think that Moving Pictures is overrated or that Limelight isn't a great song, but I voted for Vapour Trails and One Little Victory because I genuinely prefer them. They mean more to me personally, and I listen to them way more often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A New Hope vs. Attack Of The Clones I am actually voting Attack Of The Clones on this one. I love the prequels minus Jar Jar vaguely racist Binks. I hate The Force Awakens.

"Of course", "I knew it", or maybe "I'm not surprised" but I'd never say "You would." :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 MP & Limelight get my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 MP is a much tighter and more focused work of art from a band at the height of their powers whereas VT is a wonderful yet meandering and muddled piece from a band trying to find their way back. Not even close, an easy choice for MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm waiting for the "Limelight has been overplayed" and "Moving Pictures is overrated" posts. No, no, no. It's Tom Sawyer that's the drag on Moving Pictures. Because, you see, people who don't know which specific guitar Alex used for the 3rd take during the recording of Cinderella Man like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 As an aside, I personally think that fans who refuse to differentiate between the quality of a band's albums ("Which one? All of them!") in reality detract from the greatness of some of the work. In your own jobs, you don't have better days than others? If you play sports, even if you just do it for exercise or recreation, you don't have days that you perform better than others? A band can't do that?

I'm saying you can be a Rush fan and still say you like album A more than album B. Doesn't make you any less a fan. The idea that a band could release 19 albums, and that someone likes each one to the exact same degree, is a little hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Come on, TK. I love Vapor Trails, but I'm going to say Moving Pictures wins "by a country mile," specifically because you told me not to. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm surprised VT even has 12%. I thought it'd be half that. But I guess if you factor in contrarians, those in the "Tom Sawyer is overplayed" camp, and those who genuinely prefer VT over MP, we come up with that 12%. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken hawk Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Movie pictures for me. The highest selling Rush in United States and includes several of their best known songs. I voted Limelight. :rush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
