LyndseyG Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Power Windows is one of my favourite albums. I love ALL the songs but my absolute favourite is Mystic Rhythms. Cant explain properly but the lyrics just speak to me personally. Just in case you couldn't tell from my signature!!
wilb1972 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Mystic Rhythms -- love the atmosphere and its one of their most successful synth era songs to me, it still holds up really well. 2-Marathon 3-The Big Money 4-Grand Designs 5-Territories 6-Emotion Detector 7-Manhattan Project 8-Middletown Dreams
TristanHemisphere Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Had to re-listen to this album because I really couldn't remember the songs haha, "The Big Money" was my choice, good song!
Shredder2 Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Middletown Dreams... Hands down. No questions asked. Period. .
BethOfSyrinx Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Was a choice between Manhattan Project and Mystic Rhythms.. Mystic Rhythms is unlike any other song in Rush's discography and it's just simply amazing. But i went with Manhattan Project because that song is so..
TheAccountant Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Back in the 80's when I first got the album I would have said either The Big money, Manhattan Project or Mystic Rhythms. Over time Marathon joined that group. The during the last year the rest of the songs joined the group so this is another hard album to pick from. Went with Grand Designs just because.
losingit2k Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 This was another hard decision for me, but I went with Marathon for the instrumental break alone! Classic Rush, Even though middletown dreams has one of my favorite solos by alex and Big Money just rocks. I felt Marathon held everything we like about RUSH!
Empty Mindless Spectre Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 I really love Emotion Detector here. It really disappoints me that it isn't a more popular song. I think it is one their best efforts at meshing keyboards with guitar. The guitar solo is excellent and I also love the lyrics. I know the concepts presented are pretty basic, but I think Neil Peart's artistic flair elevates a simplistic concept to a thing of beauty. I truly believe Emotion Detector was much more worthy of mainstream recognition than Big Money.
Vic Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 It's a tie between Territories (the one I chose) and Marathon.
rushfanforever! Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Best song is Manhattan Project for me! Killer Guitar solo and concert video! Edited August 3, 2012 by rushfanforever!
CygnusGal Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Territories. Pretty 80s sounding, but more melodic than their previous two to my ear. Lyrically interesting and some really cool hooks. I liked this most of this album at first spin. Fabulous live.
WabbaJack Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 QUOTE (presto123 @ Apr 17 2012, 02:29 AM) Close race. I will go Marathon. I c what you did there and I am really disappointed to see so many people not in love with Power Windows. this is a great one. Emotion Detector is my favorite, by far, and it's my favorite Rush drinking song. Oh man. Middletown Dreams is great though. "Middle-aged madonna caaaaallllls her neighbor on the phone. Day by day the seasons pass and leave her life alone.. " little tears every time And Manhattan Project is about my birthday "THE PILOT OF ENOLA GAY FLYING OUT OF THE SHOCKWAVE on that August daaaayyy"
You move me Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 If I could, I'd vote the complete side A. Always preferred that over side B. To me, PW sounds as if there's a distinct 'cut' between the sides. (didn't vote)
RushBoingo Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 The Big Money is my all time favorite song, but Grand designs and Marathon are in the top ten so it's hard not to vote for them too
Weary Traveller from Willowdale Posted December 27, 2012 Posted December 27, 2012 Manhattan Project is the best and you know it!
