RushRevisited Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 What do you think is the best song from this album?
the_necromancer Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 cinderella man,a farewell to kings are the best bit if i had to pick one farewell to kings
The Notorious B.S.G. Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 No doubt in my mind about this one: XANADUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! The section at the beginning when Alex stops playing around and decides to let fly with the riffs is one of my favorite moments in all of their recorded work. Wowzer!
Jack Aubrey Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 'A Farewell To Kings'. So very relevant and timeless.
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Cinderalla Man. Geddy wrote the lyrics after watching Mr. Deeds Goes To Town directed by Frank Capra, starring Gary Cooper. Much better than the Adam Sandler version. I love the lyrics, but really the drums and guitar solo are cool. Title track is number 2 for me.
pixey Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 This is my favorite Rush album. It also has my favorite song on it, Cygnus! This whole album for me just does it. From the popular song Closer To The Heart to Madrigal, it just has it all.
madra sneachta Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Gotta be Xanadu - My 10 year old son also says it's his favourite song of all time because of the guitar just after "frozen in an everlasting view"
Digital Man Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Cygnus X-1 I just love the timing of the beginning...
Indica Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 I like Cinderella Man because that's what I am in this election and I will win it.
HAZMAT001 Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 By far and of course it is none other than XANADU
kamrahai Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 after staring at the list for 5 minutes I gave up. AFTK, Xanadu and Cygnus are all faves of mine (maybe because its the first tour I saw) sorry...no vote from me
bardan Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Xanadu, with AFTK coming in second. This is their second best album after Hemispheres!
yoda Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 my favorite rush song ever was by far CYGNUS X-1 book one from a farewell to kings and book 2 from hemispere they had a great ideal to release it on two separate albums only rush could come up with that
faultline Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 QUOTE (bardan @ Sep 6 2004, 03:19 AM) Xanadu, with AFTK coming in second. This is their second best album after Hemispheres! I concur, and mostly for sentimental reason... I just love the words to aftk., Xanadu is one of the most magical Rush songs ever, and maybe is the best on this LP. But I voted for cygnus x-1...It had me the most excited then when it came out, and ...well , now too.!!..."All who dare to cross her course!!!!!."....Who can tell me a better "Geddy whaling" than that!!??
LakesideMaiden Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 QUOTE (Moonraker @ Aug 24 2004, 02:19 AM) XaaaannnaaaadOOOOOOOOoooooo LOL! I agree with Moon ( and most else here ZaaaanaaaahhdooooooOOOOoo
Megadon Posted October 15, 2004 Posted October 15, 2004 I love A Farewll To Kings. Definitely one of the best sounding productions on a Rush album (and that is saying a lot). Anyway, my favorite here would be Xanadu. An epic classic!
