Carrystress Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Which epic by the group do you consider to be the most intelligently written? I am not asking for your favorite, but which one you think was put the most thought in to. Mine would be Hemispheres. And yes, I intentionally separated books one and two of Cygnus X-1 and am counting them as two separate songs.
KennyLee Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Hemispheres but with a great nod towards La Villa and Xanadu. 1
apetersvt Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 So many wonderful choices here. Can't argue against any of them. I'm torn between Hemispheres and La Villa. Hard to top the perfection that La Villa is, but Hemispheres rules and several minutes of perfection longer. So, gotta go with Hemispheres. (However if the poll was about favorite, I would probably pick Lamneth) 1
apetersvt Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Also wanted to add that the 11 songs listed are probably my favorite 11 Rush tunes (would have to throw AFTK in there as well) 1
KennyLee Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Lorraine? Any opinion on this one?..... :) I think we all know Lorraine's vote. Xaaaaaannnnaaaaaduuuuu!! 2
Segue Myles Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Xanadu Its insanely good...might be my equal favourite Rush song alongside the heavenly Marathon and the title track to AFTK. Although 2112 is kinda why I became so obsessed... 1
Carrystress Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 I agree with the facts of Xanadu and La Villa being two of the best also, both are just so good and there is of course the fact of Xanadu being such a nerdy song!
The Analog Cub Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Natural Science. The song evolves so well but always finds its way back to that same chord progression from the beginning of the song. 1
Lorraine Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Xanadu is a nerdy song? I should wash your mouth out with soap. 2
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Either Xanadu or Hemispheres, both are incredibly genius. I might give Xanadu a slight edge because it sounds more organic 3
Carrystress Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 Xanadu is a nerdy song? I should wash your mouth out with soap. Not in a bad way.
Segue Myles Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Xanadu is a nerdy song? I should wash your mouth out with soap. Rush are nerdy! In the coolest way possible. 2
Lorraine Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Xanadu is a nerdy song? I should wash your mouth out with soap. Rush are nerdy! In the coolest way possible. That's what I was told when I came here. They are nerdy and Rush fans are geeks. But I fail to see either one. I haven't found any nerds or geeks here. 1

It all depends on your definition of nerd and geek. I see it as:Nerd = very smart person who people underestimateGeek = a person with an obsession of things that require a higher order of thinking.
Lorraine Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 My generation didn't have nerds and geeks. Back then, you were either "groovy" or not! 1
x1yyz Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Xanadu is a nerdy song? I should wash your mouth out with soap. Rush are nerdy! In the coolest way possible. That's what I was told when I came here.

RushBoingo Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Xanadu for sure. Lots of instrumental variety, a story is present, but is not flat out there, a little ambiguity never hurts. Not too long, so I am up to listen to it any time. 1
MMCXII Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Red Barchetta. That's awesome, this was the first song to come to my mind too and it's not even on to the list
rugen Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Red Barchetta. That's awesome, this was the first song to come to my mind too and it's not even on to the list Because it's not a Epic, a long song...
