LoneStar Boogie Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Available Light Despite Presto's relativly poor standing amongst Rush fans, I think there are several really good songs, the best of which is Available Light. The song has somber verses, pensive pre-choruses, and soaring choruses that are at the same time truimphant and distressed. Add to that Lifeson's solo that sounds like it is so embedded in the early 1980's, and its a song that literally takes you back in time. "A play of light A photograph the way I sued to be Some half forgotten stranger Doesn't mean that much to me." IF you've ever looked at an old picture of yourself and felt that way, this song nails it! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringer of balance Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 one of the few good songs on this album... I love the live version on "live in rio" dvd... I wish they played it again on the S&a tour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogkid Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Great album, but I have to give it up for Show Don't Tell. The first rush song to stay in my head for a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raynman Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 typically an album with changing best song. can be the pass, first 3 songs i always like, sometimes its Presto itself, but available light also is orgasmic. today its the available light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aslavetothedriveofobsession Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 i'm really surprised how many people chose The Pass... i chose superconductor because of the badass keyboard textures during the fake keyboard solo and because a friend of mine is in the video.

rmeclark Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 The Pass (followed by Bravado in concert) is back to back the best combination EVER. I almost passed out in 02 Vapor Trails concert when they paired these two (of my favs) on their set list!! Oh...my vote??? but of course----The Pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PloKoon13 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 A tight one between Show Don't Tell and The Pass... but I think The Pass edges it... And it is one of their very favourites after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Duio Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The Pass! The pre-chorus harmonies are haunting and never get old. One of their best songs ever, IMO. "Don't slam the door on me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
