Black Thunder Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 That bloody self-titled monster. 2nd favorite: The Twilight Zone
Nootch Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I voted for "A Passage To Bangkok", its to easy to vote for 2112
Union 5-3992 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 QUOTE (2112rush @ Jul 14 2011, 04:14 PM) I would love to see Rush make one last 'epic' song along the same lines as 2112 or Cygnus X1 before they one day sadly retire for good. I chose 2112 although A Passage to Bangkok and Something for Nothing are great as well. I believe the title track to Clockwork Angels is supposed to be something similar. I chose 2112 because it is f***ing 2112.
TheAccountant Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 2112!!! What an incredible song!! As great as Something for Nothing is, 2112 simply blows it away. All of the other songs are excellent but these 2 and esp 2112 - wow. By the way, let me make this clear, IMO its not just The Overture & The Temples of Syrinx that make 2112 (although if that was the song it might still be the best song on the album), its the rest of the song. As incredible as those 1st 2 parts are, then to slow down into Discovery (I always get a vision of a slightly confused Ales turning a guitar around in hands and trying to figure out how to play it during this part of the song) then speed up into Presentation with a conversation going on within the song plus changes in speed within this portion of the song, then change the tempo again into the Oracle, then slow down into Soliloquy and then the ripping Finale - incredible genius is the best way to describe it. All of these changes take the song to another level that go way beyond the magnificent power of The Overture and Temples. In my opinion the Oracle is a grossly overlooked portion of this song. It builds in power till Geddy lets lose with: "Home to tear the Temples down" "Home to change". Awsome. Gee, get the feeling that I like this song? Think I made that clear.
losingit2k Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Once again no competition here. 2112 outshines evvrything else on the album by far!
Unlegit Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 2112. Best part of 2112 for me is either Overture or Grand Finale. If we take out 2112, then definitely Lessons.
Empty Mindless Spectre Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 QUOTE (the_necromancer @ Aug 24 2004, 03:38 AM) lessons but i like 2112 to couldent choose I believe Lessons is their most underrated song. It got my vote, but 2112 is a very close 2nd.

My favorite part of 2112 is definitely Soliloquy. The guitar solo is soooooooooooo awesome!
WabbaJack Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 Soliloquy almost makes 2112 over S4N for me. But, come on, all day. Bass tone. Something For Nothing got my vote.
SquierJazz72 Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 I love the whole 2112 side, but am partial to Discovery, for its simplicity and sense of wonder at finding this "ancient miracle", a thing that today we all take for granted, just because we are so accustomed to knowing what a guitar is.
Aikenrooster Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 2112, obviously, but I love "Passage to Bangkok."
Weary Traveller from Willowdale Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 It's gotta be 2112!!!
YYZumbi Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I have to choise 2112 here, even thou the other songs on this LP is also really great.
