rickyrob Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 ...only one answer to this question really....2112! But if I was to be forced to say which part of it is my favourite. I obviously like the beginning, Overture, But I also like Soliloquy/Grand Finale...couldn't believe it when they played Grand Finale at the R30 concert I have just received the remastered CD of 2112....its cool (I only ever had it on vinyl before)

iamtoughtobeat Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 As much as I love Something For Nothing its gotta be 2112
madra sneachta Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 2112 - Love The Twilight Zone as well, but can't look past Side 1
hap Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 It's an obvious choice...2112 Even though I disagree with those who consider the other songs just filling
NeilPeartFan2112 Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 2112 is just an amazing song. The lyrics, the music, everything. One of Rush's best indeed.
Pags Posted January 5, 2005 Posted January 5, 2005 The title track is landmark and legendary. There can be no other choice, imo. 2112 is historic. Side 2 is just gravy - and damn good gravy at that!!! Not a bad song on side 2 - they just can't touch #1. I still miss that old Mercury record label. I mean, the actual picture on the label of the 2112 album. Anyone have it?

My FTK album has the Mercury label with the skyscraper on it, all the rest of the early albums are the regular blue Mercury labels.

At least, that's what my copy of 2112 has. I would love to get some .jpg files of the various vinyl labels. Would be kewl.
Each Another's Audience Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 QUOTE 'Something For Nothing'. The most conservative song that Neil has ever written. Not saying that that was his intent, but that's what I get from it. I've argued before with someone who interpreted the song as you do. Let's just say I disagree about it being a "conservative" song. Neil's lyrics don't strike me as conservative, politically or otherwise. There is, however, one lyric I can think of which might be construed that way (perhaps "Anthem" should be the "most conservative song"): "...and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more." (A 'bleeding heart' Liberal endlessly looking for a handout?)

Jack Aubrey Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Of course, there's a lot to be said for the title track.....
giantsv Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 QUOTE (faultline @ Sep 19 2004, 11:26 PM) I guess it is all subjective, but everyone is reading this as "Their favorite song" , rather than "Best song"...I am guilty of this too for other albums. But....2112 is by far the best song, which I voted for. My favorite song right now is Tears. It was, and is an unlikely Rush song. It is quieter than most..relationship oriented..and it is a very lovely song...structured quite nicely. I agree with you, the best song is 2112. my favorite song on there right now is something for nothing. For some reason when i hear it now I crank it up. Tears is very good wrote by Geddy I might add
Trance Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 2112.... Tears falling in second for me.. I just really like the song
frouse Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Hello!!!!!!!!! I love the whole album. It;s one of the best ones I've ever heard! Every song by Rush is unique, that's why it's hard to point to the best one.
Let The Fray Begin Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I bought this album for 2112, and I still believe its the second best Rush song they made in the 70s, behind By-Tor... but I'm a biggest fan of their 80s work, so
