micgtr71 Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 This was tough because this entire album kicks ass. It is my number 2 right behind Caress. I love side one. The trees is magic. LVS? one of the best ever. But...The bass line and the vocals are so contrary to the bass line, but he pulled it off live. That was amazing. I can't get enough of this song!
graylensman Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 I love "The Trees"... but La Ville Strangiato is phenomenal. I really love the live version on "Exit...Stage Left" where Geddy sings the nonsense with the bass line.
Mr. Not Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 Everyone seems to worship this album and can't decide on one song.. I'd go with The Trees, in a heart beat, any day.
TampaRushFan Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 Oh, Canada! It's a tie between "La Villa..." and "The Trees". I picked the later. A struggle between the English and the Canadians, who win their independence. Finally.
Shreddy Lee Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Like many others, I had a hard time deciding on this one, primarily between Cygnus Book II and La Villa Strangiato, both of which I love and feel are among the band's best songs. The only way I ended up deciding was seeing which one had fewer votes and giving my support to that one.
The_Necromancer_77 Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Cygnus...but the whole album is just so great!
Brizel Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Hardest album to choose for me. I had to go with La Villa though.
J2112YYZ Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Hemispheres gets my vote. I'm not sure if it's my favorite Rush song because it's too hard for me to pick that but it's damn sure close to it. La Villa in a very close second as it's the best instrumental of all time and the single finest display of musicianship i've ever heard.
MJH Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 I have to go with "The TREES"...one of the first songs, I learned on guitar.I LIKE To climb them now..trees,not guitars.
FoxxiStarr Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Ech I really cant choose between Cygnus and Strangiato!! The whole album is amazing though
WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted August 22, 2010 Posted August 22, 2010 La Villa Strangiato.....with Cyg Book II a close 2nd
RSRD Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Went with the Trees but circumstances gave me some fits.
Between The Beers Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 Circumstances, best rock song ever \m/
Kugel Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Hemispheres, but the whole album just Does. Not. Stop. I am (I think) unusually fond of most of their later stuff; like I listen to PoW and Presto and their bootlegs all the damn time; but nothing can bump Hemi out of its top spot for me.
Babycat Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 La Villa Strangiato - from Alex's sweet acoustic beginning to the many suites.
IChoseFreeWill Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 I'll have to go with La Villa Strangiato. It is fun to listen to.
CMWriter Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 I love all four of these songs.. but in the end I picked Cygnus X-1 Book II.. just 'cause I think it's so gosh-darned epic. But of course LA VILLAAAAA is ten minutes of amazing. "The Trees" is just amusing. ...And "Circumstances" is also amusing, only because I try to sing along and I fail. But it's also very epic. <3
