Best performance by each member of Rush on a song

I got mine, you got yours?

 

Vocals- Hemispheres Side 1

Geddy nearly killed himself singing this as the music was recorded too high, but he came through with the best vocals of his career

 

Guitar-Double Agent

Ain't no one expecting this but the sickest riffing I've ever heard. Classic Al

 

Bass- Roll the Bones

Geddy does his own powerful riffing here with that funkalicious riff during the verses and it makes me feel groovy

 

Drumming-Leave That Thing Alone

My steering wheel takes a beating when this song comes on. Perfect drum performance for the perfect instrumental

 

Synthesizers-Subdivisions

What else!?

 

Lyrics-BU2B

Flame away but this one has the perfect amount of sarcasm and irony

I am not to sure on individual instrumentation, but for multitasking with Geddy, I am pretty sure that The Big Money and Xanadu are the two big winners, both are hard, and require 4/5 different instruments.

Vocals: "Headlong Flight" - doing that at his age is simply incredible. You'd expect it from a 25-year old; not a 60 year old.

 

Bass: I loathe the song, but "Driven" has monster bass on it; as does "Circumstances" - especially in the verses

 

Keys: "Subdivisions"

 

Guitar: 3-way tie: "La Villa"; the prelude/intro to "Xanadu"; and, oddly enough, "Kid Gloves". Why the latter? because no one had ever played a solo like that before.

 

Drums: "Tom Sawyer" - the perfect blend of metronome and flash; time-keeping and musicianship.
