savagegrace26 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 YYZ is rousing and fun, but La Villa is an anfractuous journey spanning curiosity, thoughtfulness, unease and determination, and finishing at exuberance. As much as I love YYZ (and proudly display it on my licence plate!), it's not a hard choice for me at all. I agree that LVS is just a better song. Too bad it's not a song ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I proudly present myself as one of those stubborn few Rush fans who found Hemispheres to be a little less impressive than he had expected on first listen, and though it's awesome, there's just something kind of...monotonous about it in places. Maybe it's just too perfect for my favoritism. :P At any rate, as awesome as La Villa is (I'm listening to it now actually), YYZ for me, any day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can remove our vote without actually knowing how we voted previously then vote AGAIN for the same thing we just deleted?! Sounds nuts.

Alien Girl Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 La Villa Strangiato is a sublimely crafted piece of timeless musical artistry. As instrumentals go, there is no match. YYZ was a well crafted fun instrumental...still is in studio form. Loved it until (UNTIL!!) people started singing to it in any and every live version from Rio on. That whoawhoawhoa whoawhoawhoawhoa...SHUT THE f**k UP, PEOPLE!! IT'S A GODDAMN INSTUMENTAL!! And yes, I'm still mad about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
