presto123 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Congrats to Analog Kid for making it to the finals. What a race that was. Here is the other semi final. Being that I have always considered Limelight solo a little over rated I'm going with Mission. I will vote for an emotive solo over a technical one every time. But no way do I see Limelight losing this one. Vote now. This will run 3 days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I mostly prefer emo over tech as well, but man, Limelight here by a country mile in all its glory. Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp93 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well... neither are very technically proficient anyways. That's why I'm going with Limelight. Honestly I'm surprised these two made it this far... there are so many better solos in the catalogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Mission (ride out). It is so emotional and just expresses everything the song is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarianStar Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Mission is amazing and one of my favorites, but when it's up against Limelight I have to go with Limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'm surprised these two made it this far... there are so many better solos in the catalogue I picked ONE SOLO from each record from MP to Counterparts. What solo is better than Limelight on MP? And what solo is better than Mission on Hold Your Fire? I think the consensus would be that these are the two best solos on those releases. Even though I wouldn't have personally chosen Limelight from MP I went with it because I know how Rush fans love that solo. (I personally prefer Barchetta or Camera Eye) Still don't get all the love for the Limelight solo??? It's not bad by any stretch but it doesn't give me those goosebumps that I look for in a solo. I could care less about how technical or fast a solo is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu93 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'll be in the minority and vote "Mission"; that solo is one of few things Rush to bring me to tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should have just went with Alex's best 8 solos but I thought it would be cool to have a representative from each of those 8 records. If I were to choose my all time 8 Lifeson solos it would probably look like this(no order) Between The Wheels Emotion Detector Freewill Dreamline Analog Kid Mission Marathon Body Electric Can you tell I like the 80's era?

GeddysMullet Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Mission, because sometimes soulful and gorgeous beats rockin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalogAlex Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Mission, if it's the least technically proficient or not, it's the most moving solo! One of my all time favorite songs/solo's from Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
