Steel07 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 This was really really hard for me to pick. Its my favorite Rush cd if not my favorite cd of all time. Im not sure on that yet. But I went with 2112 purely because I love the overall epic story of that song. I love how Geddy, Alex, and Neil can make a 20 minute song a masterpiece. As of now 2112 is my favorite, I just love how it starts and how it ends. Even if the ending isn't very clear I like to go for the optimistic/hopeful ending. I think the cd just rocks in general...you have four amazing songs on the album (in my opinion) that just will never get old (2112, Something For Nothing, Tears, Passage to Bangkok) and then two great songs (Lessons and Twilight Zone). Something for Nothing and Tears just really speak to me. Tears because its one of the few love songs Rush recorded, but its amazing. It's not very long, but the song is beautiful! Something for Nothing because I love the theme of the song, the lyrics are so good! It's so true, you have to work for what you get. You can't expect to get something if you don't do anything. Besides one of my favorite all time quotes is in the song... "In your head is the answer Let it Guide you along Let your heart be the anchor And the beat of your song" I just love it! The metaphor of heart and anchor. Because anchor is like a stability point...like your heart. Its just awesome. Despite all that, lol, I still chose 2112 because for nearly 22 minutes you get an amazing song, with amazing vocals, with an amazing story behind it!

rotyb Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 2112, as jimmy would say (i mean come on). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barchetta90480 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Obviously, 2112. Yet, that one's a little unfair. Tunes like SFN, Passage or Tears might have easily scored No. 1 on the previous three albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Baby Dragon Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 2112. The other songs, while mostly good, are all short and seem like they were just thrown on at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1974FAN Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 I'm "Elevating from the norm" on this one & going with Lessons. Again, it showed their diversity in their writing capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subdivision40 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 2112 of course, but Something for Nothing a close second, mainly because it's one of the few Rush songs I can play all the way through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

third hand grace Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Something for nothing. Lyrics are the reason, because every song musically is a winner on this album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemisphericOne Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Had to go with 2112, with Something for Nothing second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushfanNlv Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 The guitar solo in Soliloquy is by far the most emotion filled, exhilarating sound I have ever heard in my life. So full of passion and fire. You can feel every note as the hair on your arms stands up. I say 2112 but specifically, Soliloquy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 It's got to be 2112 no doubt about it, listening to this song was almost like a religious ritual for me back in the 80s. It's just special... Special mention for something for Nothing and Passage to Bangkok, let's face it the whole album is great... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
