Middletown Dreams holds a special place for me, so rather than it being the greatest, I mean 2112, Xanadu, Natural Science, La Villa are all phenomenal tracks, MD just oozes so much cool it's untrue and It was one of the tracks along with the rest of the Power Windows album that sealed it for me that Rush where more than just your run of the mill average rock band, they also had way more to offer musically than most other rock bands around at that time, before Rush I'd been listening to bands like Talking Heads, Kraftwerk, Talk Talk, Television, U2 and The Cure along with some Progressive bands such as Yes, Marillion etc Rush are the band that would take the best elements of everything I liked in music and execute them beautifully whilst still retaining that quality musicianship and uniqueness that sets them apart from most other bands..Middletown Dreams is when Rush reached that musical peak IMHO

As though to a black hole, I am drawn to (and did) vote for: Cygnus X-1, Book One: The Voyage.

 

Now that CA is incorporated into canon, I think "The Garden" is the best song Rush has ever recorded.

That's now two posts about "The Garden". Maybe I need to give that song another listen.

 

I really liked "The Anarchist" - that's such a neat tune. Of course "2112" will always be my number one, but I think it's wonderful how well-received CA has been. C:

I didn't get it the first time I listened to it, and then I started skipping it, because I hate slow songs, but then I listened to it a couple of times and it hit me in the head like a ton of bricks. Then, at the two shows that I went to, they performed it flawlessly, and it became my favorite. I still don't want to listen to it all the time, but it's a great song, especially considering all the people who are celebrating death this weekend, here in the US.

I have to go for '2112'. If I had a pound for every time I'd listened to it, I'd be a very rich man, and it never gets old.

 

I love the fact that I can play it in Rock Band 3, although I've only ever done Overture and Temples so far, not got the stamina do do the whole thing in one go :-(

Doh, first time i've seen this..

 

Tough choice, Natural Science, Spirit of Radio, Analog Kid, Xanadu, The Trees, La Villa, all very deserving..

 

BUT, I went with Cygnus X-1 Book II - Hemispheres.... NOTHING quite like it..!!

Wow, I wonder if quoting a 8 yr. old post is some kind of TRF record?

Says I voted in this poll. Have no idea what I voted for. It says I can delete my vote. Does that mean that then I can vote again? I'll try after this post.

BUT, after years of reflection, lol, I think I would have to agree with our old friend, Midway Hawker (been along time since I seen that name), and say that Cygnus X-1 Book II - Hemispheres is the Best Rush song ever.

Besides it having the advantage of being a melody of songs, it does so many things to keep you interested. It drives you and relaxes you, makes you think deeply but gives you the opportunity to clear your mind. Like MH said, "nothing quite like it." Think I'll put it on. :)
