RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This is a tough one Analog Kids and New World Men and Women!! Which is it? If you had to pick one over the other which one would it be? Even I can't choose at this moment even though I "still have made a choice." I'm thinking "Xanadu." Love, Olivia Newton John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Within 77 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Two absolute classics, but I'm going with Xanadu. It was my favorite song for many years- Natural Science took it's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMWriter Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Wow, I am frankly kind of shocked by the Hemi hate! I didn't know you could be a RUSH fan and not at least kind of love Hemispheres. I definitely wouldn't call LVS the only gem. I could listen to the title track as often as "2112"! Trust me, Rushhead, I'm only 18 and I can guarantee you that you're not a "Yesterday's News" guy. I don't necessarily share your love for CoS but I'm with you concerning Hemispheres! And for the record I can never see "Circumstances" and "boring" being in the same sentence. ..But, um, on-topic... Ah, this poll is SO DIFFICULT I don't think I can even vote. I love Xanadu because it has an amazing build-up, pretty solid lyrics (though not fantastic), but a really cool vocal melody line. Also, there's some interesting things going on their with the synths and Neil's various things on his kit. It's great. And then you have LVS, with a really different kind of vibe that's amazing in its own way. You see the problem is that you can't fairly compare them because they're so different stylistically. In the "Best RUSH Song" poll thing we had going on, I voted for "2112" because while I love their instrumentals, I think that you can't really have RUSH without Ged's vocals. I suppose in that sense "Xanadu" is "closer to my heart", but I can never get enough of that quick bass solo and the amaaaaazing guitar solo that just makes me swoon (don't tell Neil!). There are so many things I adore about each piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
