_hi_water._ Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Gonna vote for Digital Man, but Vital Signs, Entre Nous and Body Electric aren't too far Edited August 22, 2020 by _hi_water._ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na na na Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Middletown Dreams...all great songs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Not a weak one in the bunch. All of them fall within the good-great range. Not an easy choice at all. Top 3 would be Entre Nous, Vital Signs, and Digital Man. Today I’m choosing Digital Man but truly it’s a tight race here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Tough choice ..... today Middletown Dreams but that could change tomorrow! A testament to strength in depth in the Rush catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Vital Signs. Entre Nous would come close but it's a 70s song. The rest of the field is pretty weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Vital Signs. Good group, but that one shines imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) From Permanent Waves, "Entre Nous (Between Us)" has been my third favorite song. From Moving Pictures, and Signals, "Vital Signs", and "Digital Man" have been my second favorite songs. From Power Windows, and Presto, "Middletown Dreams" is tied for second, and third favorite, and "Available Light" is my favorite. In a slight edge over "Digital Man", I've picked, and chosen "Vital Signs". Edited August 22, 2020 by Derek19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 PERMANENT WAVES IS A 70S ALBUM! And Entre Nous is a 70s song, but for the technical purposes of this poll I'll toss it my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Not a weak one in the bunch. You don't mind the chorus in "The Body Electric"? Nope. Never thought twice about it. Me neither. Always strange to me that people seem to like to whine about the chorus to TBE just because it's in binary, but no one thinks the morse code at the start of YYZ is tacky enough to whine about, let alone the near-wordless chorus of Between Sun And Moon.

Texas King Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 PERMANENT WAVES IS A 70S ALBUM! Nope, musically PeW belongs to the 80's! Music has much more in common with Moving Pictures than Hemispheres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both songs have a bit of new wave influence and they sound vastly different from pretty much all 70's songs.

I could almost see some new wave in the middle section of Natural Science, but otherwise they are products of adding more advanced synths and punchier production to the 70s through and through.
