Empty Mindless Spectre Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 What a great album.... I chose La Villa Strangiato, which stands at #2 on my all time favorites list, only behind The Necromancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Book II for me. The best epic song from Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The title track, which I also think is the best song ever made. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Side 1. Cygnus X-1, Book II. This was tough because La Villa is amazing, Alex especially so. Alex's solo is on La Villa is my favourite of all of his work. Side 1 is the whole band over the top, not just Alex, so it gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WabbaJack Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 La Villa for two reasons: the high note Alex hits at 5:00 and Neil on the high hat and snare is godly. beyond godly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 An album with only four songs and three of them could be listed in the 20 songs by a band with 20 albums. Damn it's going to be hard to pick a single song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 ok, this must be the hardest of them all!! I cant decide at all, all songs are great on this one, but I probarly choise La Villa Strangiato, since thats their best instrumental song, and they will never do another one that is same class!

AM2112 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Very tough choice. The entire album is amazing, probably my favorite album. Went with la villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WavesandWindows Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Apollo was astonished, Dionysus thought them mad. But they heard their story further and they wondered and were sad. Sad the guys don't pull this off on the lighted stage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comitatus1 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 La Villa...actually I think it is the best Rush song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctte2112 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I can't decide. The whole album is amazing! It's hard to not vote for Cygnus X-1, but The Trees is my favorite "short" Rush song, and La Villa Strangiato is the best instrumental ever made. Circumstances is my least favorite of the album, but it's still awesome and I love the F#sus4 (I think that's Alex plays, when Geddy sings "A boy alone"). I guess I have to say Cygnus X-1. I love the chords, all the arpeggios, the solos, the Taurus, the epic lyrics, and the length (all the best songs are 20 minutes!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lieutenant Dan Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Great album. All great songs, but the title track epic, "Cygnus X-1, Book II" is their best work ever IMO. This for me as well. This suite worked so well for me in so many ways. I loved to listen to it on headphones with my eyes shut and picture everything (though you should have seen me jump the first time at ..........."THEN ALL AT ONCE THE CHAOS CEASED."). It also worked great to crank up over the speakers and in the car...where ever, when ever! The imagery of the lyrics and the sheer gymnastics they were pulling off on their instruments while still being so MELODIC was astounding on Cygnus X-1, Bk 2. I've still never heard better bass bits that this piece, and my favorite Peart fill of all time happens at the climax of part V (Cygnus) at 16:26. Just......damn*. * (nod to Honorable Mention of the drumming on the latter part of "Jacob's Ladder" which also amazes me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The Trees. Always loved it In all honesty, I prefer side B of this album to side A everytime! I feel it all went a bit over the top with the first side, although I do still enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
