Ancient Ways Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 QUOTE (tangy @ Sep 18 2012, 06:37 PM) natural science second place is la villa Can't argue. Another way I look at it is what song represents RUSH the best to someone who doesn't know them. Hard to argue with Natural Science, Xanadu, or Red Barchetta.

Nate1647 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I can only narrow it down to what I feel are their 10 greatest songs, for a combination of all reasons. La Villa Strangiato The Spirit of Radio Red Barchetta YYZ Vital Signs Subdivisions Marathon Clockwork Angels The Anarchist The Garden Quite a bizzare list, I know, but I think that this list really demonstrates their best efforts.

Supersyl Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Xanadu, Live with the Double-necks. The ESL video version from the Montreal Forum is the best ever Rush moment in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 yeah i dont think there could be a definitive best rush track, you could go back to their very first albums and every single album after that through the decades and pick something depending what your mood is, but to choose one single track above all else on musical prowess alone would just be a silly thing to do there's just far too much brilliance in that vast catalog, but... Bu2b and earthshine reach a level of maturity and development that stand out for me in some way, like i dont think the band could do any better when it comes to power and sheer simplicity and the surreality pervasive in all rush material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moedrabowsky Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Just had a sublime moment: The guns replaced the plow Facades are tarnished now The principles have been betrayed... Killer. Also, too, the rhythm on A Passage to Bangkok. Yes, i'm groovin' on ESL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 If I had to pick the track that best represents Rush, in terms of early hard rocking-ness, to the prog period, to the classic period, to the more meolodic synth period and beyond, but which still has a great appeal, I have to go with Red Barchetta. That is not my favorite track, but I think it is probably the best representative of what Rush is. Tom Sawyer would be an obvious choice as well, for many of the same reasons.

Thunder Bay Rush Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 If I was allowed to only play one song with hopes of "hooking" a person who has not heard any Rush, it would have to Xanadu, no contest. That song has all the elements of the band, all three guys really strut their stuff... great lyrics, plus, it has the sheer power they are known for.
