RushRevisited Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 What do you think is the best song from this album?
Moonraker Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Oh man Hemispheres is so much fun to play on the bass guitar. 4
Midway Hawker Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 This one is just too tough, the whole album is so incredible. The sound they captured here is genius.
Midway Hawker Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 well, I just had to vote, so I voted for La villa..
Relaxed_Jack Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 VERY tough choice....I choose Freewill! Wrong album.....Uh.........I picked the Trees. Still have this picture in my head of Alex starting the song playing his Accoustic guitar and tossing it Stage Right and seeing the stage hand DROPPING IT!!
The Notorious B.S.G. Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Great album. All great songs, but the title track epic, "Cygnus X-1, Book II" is their best work ever IMO. 2
the_necromancer Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 just listened to cygnus and it rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Title track. Again, more individuality but with a twist. Aside from that it is awesome musically on all accounts. I cannot think of anything wrong with this album, except for the tape stock they used for recording it. Noisey.
pixey Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 I choose La Villa simply for one piece of work in Alexs song, I believe it is A Lerxst In Wonderland. The softness, yearning of it. That piece of music is just one of the best ever wrote, it speaks to me. Everytime I hear it I get chills! That part just does something to me that no other piece of music has ever done.
RushRevisited Posted August 25, 2004 Author Posted August 25, 2004 Tough one for me... I live all of these, but Hemispheres has to be the most diverse and complex... LOVE IT!
madra sneachta Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Hooray - Circumstances finally has a vote. I'm glad I could take its poll virginity

Snowdog Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 I don't care how many times I've heard it, I could listen to La Villa over and over and over. It's just one of my all time faves by any band. 1

Any chance to see him shred is one to relish.
Digital Man Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 La Villa This was a hard one. I really like Book II, but La Villa gets me rockin a little more
Indica Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Circumstances is a great song, I play jazz guitar and after a while I tried something different and learned this song on the guitar.
HAZMAT001 Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 By far i have to give this one a tie Cygnus/LaVilla
Proggy Posted September 5, 2004 Posted September 5, 2004 (edited) Sweet, I just made it a tie between Hemis and La Villa. The title track was the first ever Rush song I listened to (and no, it did not happen in the late seventies but last September! LOL) so I suppose it will always be a bit special for that reason alone. Plus it is a musical and compositional (umm, is that a word? ) masterpiece. It has everything. Edited September 5, 2004 by Proggy
kamrahai Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 sorry to break your tie Proggy but i gotta push Book II back to the top
