Natural Rush Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Red Barchetta is the best track on this album for sure Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobleEnoughbutWeakEnough Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 So, I am a high school principal any my school does a spring thing called Mini-Courses (a two-week window where the English Department teachers have a short course on something they and the students find interesting). One of my teachers is considering a course on Prog Rock with a heavy Rush influence for this year. If she doesn't pick it up, I am doing one next year on Moving Pictures (mine this year is on baseball in literature... if I bill it the students will come). This entire album, after all, deserves that kind of respect. Of course everyone wants to vote Tom Sawyer but won't. Red Barchetta... come on, now... is there a better Rush song live? I used to actually use Witch Hunt as part of my history curriculum when I was in the classroom. Etc. etc. etc. My vote went to Limelight since it is my son's favorite song... but we are talking Moving Pictures... there isn't a bad vote on this one.

RushDrummer Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Every song is terrific, making this the most difficult album to choose a best from. I love Limelight so I had to go with that, but I could have chosen any of these. I've taken a big-time appreciation to Witch Hunt as of late.

Earthshine Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I almost went with YYZ. But I will never forget sitting at home with the headphones on early Saturday morning February 14, 1981 just listening to the whole album and being taken by Red Barchetta. It simply grabbed me. Wonderful song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRushiac Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I chose"Vital Signs" I love how plays, plus it got stuck in my head for 2 weeks about two years ago...and i must keep it appeased so it will not come back . "Red Barchetta" "Witch Hunt" & "YYZ" are always rockin hard . and as for "Limelight" and "Tom Sawyer" again i thought those were understood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telegraphcreeklocal Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Good Question. I really like Vital Signs But every song shreds in its own way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbar Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) QUOTE (CygnusX-1Bk2 @ Aug 24 2004, 06:31 PM) This album is perfect. All of these songs have been my favorite from time to time. Camera Eye had occupied this spot for me recently, but that has since changed and now Witch Hunt seems to resonate with me these days. Partly because my band Trilogy has recently performed both, but I understand why Geddy doesn't want to play it. From a bass and keyboard standpoint TCE is a bit boring. Witch Hunt is a bit more challenging, but the lyrical content rings especially true in trying times (such as these). Honorable mention to Vital Signs, partly because it was the first Rush song I recorded all of the parts to myself, and also because it points the way Rush went with their music through the 80s. Mr. Lee doesn't like playing The Camera Eye!? But it's the meat of Moving Pictures! It wouldn't be the same album without it. That's the only song from Moving Pictures I haven't been able to find a live rendition of. And now I know why... it really wouldn't be the same album without it.

Cato76 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 This is a tough one because MP is my favorite Rush cd. I have to go with Red Barchetta with The Camera Eye and Witch Hunt right behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ru5h F@n Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 "The Camera Eye" is the last longest song that Rush ever recorded and the best song, in my opinion overall, on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1eyehaventgot Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Wow, okay, this was a cd I just made (for my own listening of course) most recently that got my brain more focused on my job and it works really good! (song I voted for is only Rush - Moving Pictures song on cd) Frank Zappa - Who are the Brain Police Mystic Rythms Eminem - Brain Damage High water Pink Floyd - Brain Damage Vital Signs Pink Floyd - Hey You Available Light Suicidal Tendencies - Trip To The Brain Countdown Exodus - Brain Dead Between The Wheels Green Day - Brain Stew Geddy Lee- Moving To Bohemia Notice the analogy, Rush had Hemispheres, then Permanent Waves (maybe brain waves? . yeah i'm a little strange), then all of these songs are Moving Pictures or later, mixed with songs about brains. Now I know I'm strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticklah Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I'd have to go with Vital Signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subdivisions717 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Red Barchetta. Musically and lyrically it is one of Rush's most exciting songs. It kinda makes me feel like I'm the one driving the car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrospective Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 This one is one of the hardest... I definitely say all of them! But if we go by my play count on iTunes I would have to say Vital Signs wins... followed by the Camera Eye and Witch Hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melll Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Red Barchetta, I love it. Possibly conjures the most vivid images in your head from the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willowroolz Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Red Barchetta. It's pure genius, one of the most evocative songs I've ever heard. Alex even gets his solo to sound like a car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
