EmotionDetector Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Hmmm...these are always tough, but I'll try: 1) LA VILLA STRANGIATO 2) XANADU 3) NATURAL SCIENCE 4) 2112 5) THE FOUNTAIN OF LAMNETH 6) THE NECROMANCER 7) HEMISPHERES 8) BY-TOR AND THE SNOWDOG 9) THE CAMERA EYE 10) CYGNUS X-1 All songs are awesome though...you almost feel stupid when you see a song like Cygnus X-1 at the bottom!!

The Fountain of Lamneth 10. The Necromancer Can't get enough Natural Science, one of my all time faves and what I believe to be one of the greatest songs of all time. I hope they play it again this tour so my friends who are joining me can see its awesome power for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostworks Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 #1. > Xanadu (colossal - I go back & forth between this and LVS as my favorite) #2. > La Villa Strangiato (far, far and away their best instrumental) #3. > Natural Science (although Rush have worn out its welcome live, it's still a monster studio track) #4. > The Camera Eye (I love the atmosphere of this song from beginning to end) #5. > Hemispheres (the most ridiculous technical mythological screech fiction song I've ever heard - phenomenal) #6. > By-Tor and the Snow Dog (the original - neck and neck with Hemispheres for me) #7. > The Necromancer (despite ripping off The Who for the end bit, a fun ride and one of Alex's finest moments throughout) #8. > Cygnus X-1 (used to be top three, but has aged poorly, and sounds rather plodding and dated in places) * I count both TFOL and 2112 as song suites - the others above are complete songs, so it's not really a fair comparison as such: #1. > The Fountain of Lamneth (clearly superior to 2112 in every way) #10. > 2112 (the silly, ham-fisted result of Rush 'trying too hard' to create an epic - I have no use for it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, I understand and respect 2112's importance to Rush's career. I just think it's kind of overwrought and dumb, especially compared to something like Natural Science, which has aged like a fine wine in my book.

HigherWater Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 1. Natural Science 2. Xanadu 3. The Camera Eye 4. La Villa Strangiato 5. 2112 6. Hemispheres 7. Cygnus X-1 8. By Tor and the Snow Dog 9. The Necromancer 10. Fountain of Lamneth This was done on the fly. Looking back at it, I think I'd rate 2112 ahead of La Villa; but these were my gut picks.
