PocketfullofSilver Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 In the End or The Necromancer (from 8:38 to the end is magical, no pun intended)
GoldRush Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 My favorite is TSoR, but the greatest, the masterpiece is Xanadu...
bigalfan Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Cygnus X1 followed closely by Hemispheres
Territorial_Game Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 QUOTE (Mystic Rythm @ Sep 18 2012, 04:47 PM) The Camera Eye Cabot?!? My uncle used to preach at a Methodist church there. Got moved to Ft. Smith a few years ago. Also, I dunno about best, but my personal favorite it Natural Science.
jjgittes Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I think Xanadu was the perfect blend of a story and great riff that builds up steam and doesn't miss a beat. I can recall when a group of about 6 of us spent like 15 minutes over our dinner discussing the roots and meaning of the song. Not sure I can say that about any other song since.

GernTheFish Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Tough to pick. But if I HAD to pick just 1 personal favorite, I'd go with Subdivisions.

trenken Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 QUOTE (crazygeo @ Sep 18 2012, 04:36 PM) What is the greatest song of all time? To pick one is painful, but Ill have to go with Red Barchetta. It's a very adventurous song with a lot of dynamics, doesnt have a standard issue verse/chorus/verse/chorus arrangement that they are trapped in now, and has all the strong playing and high vocals, so to me that 1 song encompasses everything I always loved about Rush, and will always miss that out there no rules style of writing that they got away from after that album. I really hoped with CA they would have gotten back to that being that its a concept album but its really no different than any of their recent album. They're just all regular songs that just happen to tell a consistent story. In the past they used to write songs with very unusual arrangements, some songs that didnt even have choruses like Jacobs Ladder for example.

Disagree--the same magic that makes Red Barchetta great is found in the song Clockwork Angels.
professornutbudder Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 QUOTE (presto123 @ Sep 18 2012, 04:48 PM) There is no best only favorites. Bingo! That is the correct answer to any "best of" question! But....I think the best song is still to come as long as they continue to record as they just keep getting better with each album.
bobo32 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 I find it funny that nobody will claim TS as their favorite but year after year is one of the top rock songs of all time when you see such lists. Rightly so it is a top 5 rock song of all time and has stood the test of time. It is OK to voice your praise closet TS fans....
crazygeo Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 Side 1 of Moving Pictures...will always be Classic Rock Album side at it's best like a side of Zeppelin IV...classic ToM SawYEr...to the average people it's classic!!! Perm Waves/Moving Pictures/Signals THE LAST GREAT ROCK TRIO OF ALBUMS BY PERIOD...
SUBDIVISIONS Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 The Greatest RUSH song of all time is undoubtely... SUBDIVISIONS I could write a book for you about why but after going through the whole catalog for the last 22 years I can tell you this is the greatest song of the UNIVERSE. period
