Welcome! I answered "The Garden" because it is my favorite Rush song, but I don't know if it is the "best" Rush song. I'm sure your father will play all of the "essential" Rush (basically, everything!) for you. You have an amazing journey in front you! Great to have you here!

i hve all of the rush i hve every last album

His next poll will be called "Rush member" and only list Geddy and Alex. Everyone will heap praise him for only being 16 and only forgetting one member.

I think you need to seriously reconsider continuing to ridicule this thread.

Honor roll? Impressive! I know a lot of kids in 9th grade are 13 or 14 so looks like you will be a lot older than all the other kids in 9th grade. But I am guessing you weren't held back if you're on the honor roll?

[Silas Lang]

Tom Sawyer is my pick. Other great ones are:

 

The Fountain of Lamneth

Caravan

The Body Electric

The Wreckers

In The Mood

The Garden

 

Best of the rest: The Color of Right, Take A Friend, Fly By Night

 

 

[gatorherman]

good pick

[Syrinx Priest]

I find it amazing that you could pick 14 songs and that I probably would not rank ANY of them in the top 15 Rush songs and you even left out the 2 best CA songs - BU2B and Headlong Flight.

 

Just to name a few - Natural Science, The Camera Eye, Xanadu, A Farewell to Kings, Bastille Day

 

[Weakly Criminal]

None of the above.

 

Red Barchetta is their best song and La Villa their best instrumental; followed closely by YYZ.

[gatorherman]

the color of right

[Jaminbenb]

QUOTE (Mr. IsNot @ Jul 28 2012, 05:26 PM)

The Fountain Of Lamneth

Definitely on that list!

[CygnusX-1Bk2]

Fountain is a bunch of songs that make one piece. It's not like Hemispheres or 2112 that have sections. Prelude and Overture indicate chord changes and phrases that appear later as major sections where Fountain is book-ended by mirrored revisions of the first two songs but all of the songs are distinct and don't reflect each other aside from the story line. CA is much like the Fountain in that way. There are no themes that persist aside from the brief revisit to BUTB.

 

While neither Natural Science nor 2112 nor Hemispheres is listed one could argue that these are better than Tom Sawyer (as well as the rest of the list) which is their most famous song. It is their most famous song for a reason. It is a pinnacle of their songwriting AND playing ability (all of MP for that matter, or the era from 2112 through MP). Tom Sawyer encapsulates all of the best qualities of Rush into one song. Spirit is right up there too.

[They Bow Defeated]

I think maybe we're being punk'd.
