GeddysMullet Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I like Working Man well enough as a song, and it was always great to see live, but it doesn't mean anything special to me. Fight The Good Fight, on the other hand, has personal significance to me. As such, it is my choice in this poll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Triumph ..... a pretty decent song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 As much as I like "Fight the Good Fight," I'm surprised this poll is tied (9-9 at the mo). "Working Man" looms so large in the Rush canon -- maybe because of the blistering live versions, but also because of WMMS and the origin story.

Rick N. Backer Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Triumph is a decent band. Allied Forces is their Moving Pictures, or Eliminator, or 90125, or HI InFIdelity, where they just put it all together. It's a great album. Fight the Good Fight is their Tom Sawyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I like triumph quite well but I consider WM to be the most "important" rush song in addition a personal fave. Check out triumphs performance at the US fest if you haven't seen it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithrandir Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 While i like the Triumph song, Working Man crushes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytserush Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Fight The Good Fight easily.It's not a derivative song.Sarcasm, right? Nope.I just don't get it. They sound so ordinary and derivative. Oh well, to each his own. Rush in 1974 really sounded primitive and derivative as hell. Do you realize Rush would be Greta Van Fleet of the 70's if visionary Mr. Peart hasn't joined the band?I have no idea. I am not privy to what would have happened if Neil Peart did not join Rush. I only know what actually happened. This. So much this. And Fight The Good Fight actually sounds derivative of the first Rush album to me. Which is why I pitted it against Working Man! Also if I had pitted it against something more contemporary from Rush, like Limelight or TS, we all know Rush would've won outright. This is a far more balanced matchup as displayed by the poll. I like it better than Limelight. Tom Sawyer would be much closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Working Man" I don't consider Working Man to be all that great (better recently live) but I get the historical significance of which you alluded.
