GeddyLeeFender Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 About to blow some minds on here because I love the songs everyone hates: Rush: "Here Again" Fly by Night: By-Tor and the Snow Dog Caress of Steel: I Think Im Going Bald 2112: Tears A Farewell to Kings: Madrigal Hemispheres: Cygnus X-1 Book II (Took me years to even like the song, except for the epic finale) Permanent Waves: "Freewill" Moving Pictures: "YYZ" Signals: "The Weapon" Grace Under Pressure: "Red Lenses" Power Windows: "Territories" Hold Your Fire: "High Water" Presto: "Superconductor" Roll The Bones: "Where's my Thing?" Test for Echo: "Dog Years" (Easiest choice by far) Vapor Trails: "Freeze" Snakes and Arrows: "Spindrift" Clockwork Angels: "BU2B2" This was INCREDIBLY hard to do, and most of these songs listed I really like. Except for Dog Years of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most overrated RUSH song ever. Seems like they play it on every friggin tour, while I would much rather hear Prime Mover, Lock and Key, Open Secrets or Mission. (Or better yet, something from the first 5 albums instead!). To be honest though, I really should have called it a tie between Time Stand Still and Tai Shan. Again, just my opinion and naturally lots of folks will disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they play it on every friggin tour, while I would much rather hear Prime Mover, Lock and Key, Open Secrets or Mission. (Or better yet, something from the first 5 albums instead!).While it was resurrected for the Time Machine Tour, Time Stand Still was not played on Clockwork Angels (Force 10), Snakes and Arrows live (Mission), Snakes and Arrows (Mission), R30 (Force 10), Vapor Trails, or T4E (Force 10), When I've seen it live, it's been very well-received, as it speaks to the passing of time among long-time friends.

lachrymal Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Rush - In the Mood (only because I think the lyrics are cheesy and it was overplayed early in their career)Fly By Night - Best I CanCaress of Steel - I Think I'm Going Bald (Side note: I don't consider Panacea is a song, it's just part of FOL)2112 - TearsA Farewell to Kings - Madrigal (although I like Madrigal, AFTK is strong throughout)Hemispheres - Circumstances (another album where I like all the songs a lot, but if I had to choose...)Permanent Waves - Entre NousMoving Pictures - YYZSignals - Chemistry (This is another tough one, I could have gone with Digital Man or Losing It. I like all those tracks though)Grace Under Pressure - Red LensesPower Windows - Mystic Rhythms Hold Your Fire - Second Nature (Tai Shan is just fine, it's never bugged me)Presto - Hand Over FistRoll the Bones - Face UpCounterparts - Speed of Love (Could have chosen a lot of songs, I'm not too into Counterparts)Test for Echo - Half the World (ditto)Vapor Trails - Peaceable KingdomSnakes & Arrows - Workin Them AngelsClockwork Angels - Wish Them Well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeFender Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Here Again is only good because its Rush showing what they would give later on in their career, I think its pretty plodding personally. Then again, im not too crazy about their debut album—and absolutely obsessed with everything after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty Mindless Spectre Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Here Again is only good because its Rush showing what they would give later on in their career, I think its pretty plodding personally. Then again, im not too crazy about their debut album—and absolutely obsessed with everything after I don't think it is anything at all like anything they've done later in their career. Actually, I consider it to be the only "bluesy" song they've ever done and like it quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty Mindless Spectre Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 at least Tom Sawyer is better than Here Again Tom Sawyer is really a great song (IMO). The only "bad" thing about it is how ridiculously much more attention it gets than other Rush songs that are also great, and in some cases better songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
