LiveBlues Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 It was a tough choice, but I had to go with Xanadu for sentimental reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ES-335 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 QUOTE (tepes22b @ Jan 3 2006, 09:46 PM) Since turnabout is fair play, the motif from the "Monsters" section in La Villa Strangiato is taken from the 1936 song "Powerhouse" by Raymond Scott (credit Songfacts.com). So nothing is really original. Anyway, I go with Xanadu, because I like the structure better and it doesn't have any spots that feel repetitive to me like in La Villa. Just my $0.02. yea, I have a copy of that song somewhere on mp3. Also, I dearly love Xanadu ... it is one of my all time favs ... but La Villa is such a showcase of the boys talent AND it is so tight ... as a musician, it just gets me going.

treeman Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 la villa strangiato by the better of the two, it has so much diverity, contrast, and pure passionate music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush! Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Looks like the winner is La Villa. As noted earlier, I prefer La Villa. Xanadu is great and it has a lot of cool parts but I just simply like Strangiato better. Sooner or later, I will put up another poll pitting La Villa against another song, making it really hard!!

Rush! Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 I am the king of hard polls! Ok, fine, both are winners. Sooner or later, I will pit both Xanadu and La Villa against other songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margana Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I voted for Xanadu and made the score 25 each. On the subject of borrowing from literature, most lyricists do it to some degree. Neil has also borrowed from Oscar Wilde I can resist anything but temptation and All of us spend time in the gutter, dreamers tend to look at the stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searchingforxanadu Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Close poll -- I chose Xanadu, of course (check the name) but I have to wonder why you'd compare the two in the first place -- one's an instrumental and they're really not the same. But all's well. Xanadu for searchingforxanadu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsten Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I don't really get the comparison between the two, either... but I chose Xanadu. I personally don't care much for instrumentals, as I like something I can sing along with, even if I CAN'T hit half the notes, and obviously instrumentals are not like that. Pretty much the only Rush instrumental I can stand to listen to is YYZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused as to where anyone is comparing the 2 songs. I thought it was just a poll, which one was better. The only comparison is they are both Rush songs.

Rush! Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 I wasn't trying to make a comparison between the two. They're very different songs, I know that. "Xanadu" is on AFTK, is 11 minutes long, and is not an instrumental. "La Villa Strangiato" is on Hemispheres, is 9 minutes long, and IS an instrumental. I don't know who got the idea that I or anyone else on here was making a comparison between the two. I was just trying to make a hard poll. Not harming anyone.
