Maverick Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Witch Hunt is so overrated. Vital Signs is the true gem here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I: Vital SignsE: Tom Sawyer (overplayed)You need to judge these songs like it's the day you first picked up the album. It's not the song's fault that you overplayed it, or allowed yourself to be exposed to it over and over and you didn't do anything about it. Stop overplaying songs LABT, and turn the channel.

treeduck Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I enjoy all these songs but Vital Signs is my least favourite, even though the bass solo is immense and everything else is cool too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) I can be more relaxed about voting from now on, because all my top 5 songs have already been and gone, so the results won't bother me as much. That said, Red Barchetta is pretty close to my top 5, so gets my immune vote.Vital Signs is good, but it's like they released a Signals song an album early Edited April 22, 2021 by Your_Lion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be on the same wavelength as me on this one, I've got Red Barchetta way up there too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I: Vital SignsE: Tom Sawyer (overplayed)You need to judge these songs like it's the day you first picked up the album. It's not the song's fault that you overplayed it, or allowed yourself to be exposed to it over and over and you didn't do anything about it. Stop overplaying songs LABT, and turn the channel. Learn these things. The day I bought Moving Pictures, I already knew the first four songs very well because of the radio. Kind of hard to listen to something like you've never heard it before when you've already heard the song a few hundred times before owning the album. Is it my fault for listening to the radio too much growing up or the fault of my parents for always having the rock station on at home that I was overexposed to Tom Sawyer years before I owned the album? Maybe. But when you're young and don't have a lot of money to buy albums, radio was pretty much what I got stuck with when it came to my music listening for a long time. I have had more appreciation for Tom Sawyer over the years since I stopped regularly listening to the classic rock station. Still, I don't think the song is top tier Rush. It's a pretty good song but they have a lot of better ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78jazz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 You need to judge these songs like it's the day you first picked up the album. This is why I voted to eliminate The Camera Eye. Arguably the worst Rush epic song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive on. Sorry but I voted to eliminate VS too but I thought it came alive on the Time Machine live album. Some songs are like that. The album version I just like rather than love. But I wasn't impressed by either Red Barchetta or Limelight on 1st hearing many years ago related to their reputation. But I grew to really like RB. But joining you in the unpopular opinion group, but standing in a different corner, I still think Limelight is good but not amazing. It's probably going to vie for top spot at the end of this poll though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
