The Owl Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I know for alot these two things are one in the same, but not always.....

slappa_da_bass Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 For me, the "best" Rush song, as in most well put-together, will probably always be a four-way tie between YYZ, Limelight, Freewill, and Vital Signs, all for different reasons, with the rest of MP and PW being extremely close behind. Definitely the two best Rush albums, and if it weren't for (Tom Sawyer/the overplaying of Tom Sawyer, take your pick) they would be flawless. But my "favorite" Rush song changes all the time. For a while it was One Little Victory, and for even longer Between the Wheels. Right now, I'm not so sure -- hey, it's Rush man! It's all great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Both Cygnus X-1 songs are the best, and imho the greatest song ever recorded by Man. The music is harmonious and complex; arranged with an orchestra, it would sound like something by a classic composer such as Beethoven. It is incredibly difficult to play. The way the lyrics marry the music couldn't be any better. The song can get intense for heavy metal heads, and it can be quiet and soft enough for older audiences or audiences who only listen to classical music to listen to. Most importantly, the message of the song, brought to us lyrically and musically through an epic story, is quite possibly the most brilliant philosophy in existance: it is as simple as "balance." So Cygnus X-1 is their best song. Bravado is my favorite. (Sorry if I over-analyzed...but hey, it's true!! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good,bad,andrush Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Natural Science is just behind Cygnus X-1 (Both Books) by a hair. I forgot to say that as an honorable mention for best. HM for my favorite: The Pass or Resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone Roller Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 i'd say that Xanadu or La Villa rank for the best. as for my favorite(s), i'm going with Circumstances and Witch Hunt (but ask me next week and i'll have different selections).
