rushgoober Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I have to imagine anyone who is voting Caravan either: a: is so infatuated with a brand new song that their brain has temporarily short-circuited b: has something against Tom Sawyer because of over-exposure as opposed to it actually being an inferior song or c: both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Caravan is phenomenal, but Tom is an ultimate Rush classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Incomparable. Why even try? You would be better off trying to decide want you like more, water or oxygen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun3701 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 you're kidding right? Caravan is a good song, but compared to Tom Sawyer it might as well be Dog Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MULTIPLIED REACTION Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 QUOTE (SpiritOfRush @ Jun 1 2010, 11:12 AM) QUOTE (Earthshine @ Jun 1 2010, 03:47 AM) Caravan is simply out of this world. But! Is it better than Tom Sawyer? Which do you like more? Not even close...Tom Sawyer destroys caravan. You can sing along to TS...caravan is a mess of noise with no melody and the lyrics are forced.

ReRushed Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Has Paul McCartney written a better song since "Hey Jude"? This is a silly question! "Tom Sawyer" is pretty much an iconic song. It's in the pantheon of great rock songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Mover and Shaker Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Caravan is good, considering some things. Tom Sawyer is just plain good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrxtopher Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jun 1 2010, 09:16 AM) Well I've listened to Caravan about 6 or 7 times and Tom Sawyer about 3 million. The former is certainly fresher, but it's waaaayyyy to early to compare those two IMO anyhow. Fresher always seems better to me because it's new...and Caravan IS indeed very good. I'm not ready to make that kind of comparison just yet. I disagree. It's not too early to compare these. Tom Sawyer kicks Caravan's ass up and down the street, then bashes its head with a trash can like Sonny Corleone. I loved Tom Sawyer from the moment I heard it in 1981, having no idea who Rush is. I didn't have to listen to it 5-10 times in order to learn to like it. And when I got it, I wanted to listen to it over and over again. And 30 years later, I'm still listening and loving this song. What's next? Caravan vs. Xanadu? Caravan vs. Test For Echo is a more apt comparison. All this irrational exuberance is really killing my interest in a decent song.
