GUP1771 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Since we're under a week away from the album being released, we can assume that another single will be released in the next few months at most to promote the album. Obviously, some songs are just not an option, but I wanted to provide all potential choices for the poll. I left out Headlong Flight and Caravan since both have been released as singles already. So, what do you all think? Honestly, I think The Wreckers has the biggest opportunity to catch people's ears. It's melodic and very catchy with that awesome chorus. I still believe this should have been the single before Headlong Flight, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Garden. It's got kind of an indie baroque chamber pop sensitive-mushy kind of vibe.... the hipsters will dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shreddy Lee Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think The Wreckers is the obvious choice for this, it definitely seems to have the most potential for commercial success and has all the elements that would make it popular with the mainstream.

J2112YYZ Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Wreckers, no doubt about it. In fact, the label is just flat out stupid if the song isn't released as a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Obviously The Wreckers. This should have been their FIRST single - the song with by far the most commercial potential - catchy, melodic, of modest length by Rush standards. I noticed The Garden got some votes, and while undoubtedly it's an amazing song, I just don't see it as a single at all - it's well placed as an emotional grand finale to a great concept album, but it's just too long and grandiose as a single.

Presto-digitation Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Not that it matters cuz singles really don't mean shit for a band like this in 2012, BUT playing the game and pretending it still means something, The Wreckers...no doubt. It's radio friendly and yet still entirely RUSH. They've put out enough prog oddities already and The Wreckers would be the nice, simple counterpoint to Headlong Flight, for instance.

HeadlongMark Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Wreckers should be the next single. For me, it's the new Subdivisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Wreckers, Its a perfect song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix87 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 1. Carnies 2. The Wreckers 3. Seven cities of Gold All three would be viable singles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Like others...clearly THE WRECKERS. After just one casual listen yesterday, I found myself humming/singing the chorus immediately. It has a beautiful hook...and is obviously the most accessible. The chorus gives me goosebumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na na na Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Wreckers should be the next single, to promote the upcoming tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The Wreckers. Although, I could see Wish Them Well working as a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Of all of them Wreckers is the only one I hear with any sort of mainstream potential, but of course it would never happen for them on mainstream radio just due to who they are and their age. Their time came and went with Moving Pictures, but this song overall is probably the most commercial on the entire album. But its just still too much Rush-y to be accepted by the much younger crowd listening to mainstream rock these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dscrapre Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 This doesn't even need to be asked. The Wreckers all the way. It hits you immediately and it's beautiful. Carnies would be another really cool choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkus406 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I'm on The Wreckers bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 They should release Caravan again, but this time as the B-side of BU2B. Those two songs are just that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
