I personally never understood the hate for Tai Shan. It's gotta be one of the most beautifully composed songs they've ever written. Of course, I'm a sucker for panpipes, so that may be it.

I'll also add Red Tide, Chemistry, Afterimage, Vapor Trail, and Marathon.

Tai Shan has some of the most beautiful guitar work. cool.gif

"One Little Victory".  It's catchy as all hell.  Great riffs.  Great drumming.  Great lyrics.  I've never understood why so many on this board are unimpressed.  confused13.gif

I wish I could like OLV, but it's actually the one song on Vapor Trails that I don't like.

There ya go! laugh.gif

Yes. In The End. The song never got any play time on the radio, and they only played it in concert during the 70's.

If it's two songs I want to here live, and probably never will, it's

In the End and Jacobs Ladder.

I saw Rush play "In the End" during the Moving Pictures/Exit...Stage Left tour in 1981. new_thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

 

Sadly, I missed "Jacob's Ladder" by one friggin' tour! fists crying.gif

I see this mistake all the time. What was originally side two of the four sided album Exit Stage Left was recorded on the Permanent Waves tour, not the Moving Pictures tour. That includes A Passage to Bangkok, Closer to the Heart, Beneath Between and Behind, and Jacob's Ladder. I've seen people say they wish that the ESL video was complete so they could see Jacob's Ladder but it wouldn't be on there anyway since they didn't play it that tour (not that I wouldn't kill for a full length version though).

 

Also, Mystic Rhythms and Witch Hunt from A Show of Hands were recorded on the Power Windows tour and Bravado, Show Don't Tell, and The Analog Kid from Different Stages were from the Counterparts tour. I'm sure a lot of people know this but I guess others never even bother to look in the booklets. I even had someone argue with me that Rush played Show Don't Tell on the Test For Echo tour even though he didn't see that tour and his only "proof" was that it was on Different Stages.

 

More specifically on topic, I could list a bunch too but since it's already been mentioned I also really like Countdown. The main keyboard solo and the subsequent arpeggiated guitar part gets me every time.
