bathory Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 what's giving some people the impression that fly by night and something for nothing are underrated?In the case of Fly By Night people tend to diss it as a simple song, I think Peart doesn't like it, they never play it live and you never hear it praised along with a lot of the highly regarded stuff. I've always liked it though from way back when I first heard it around 1980, it's never got old for me. peart doesn't even like cygnus x-1! FBN is a textbook example of a perfect, feel-good 70s hard rock tune. Peart doesn't like anything pre-Moving Pictures. Geddy Lee doesn't like Fly By Night either. Or Lakeside Park. What the artists actually like or dislike regarding their own work doesn't matter in the slightest though. I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Noticed bravest face gets a bit of stick sometimes and i for the life of me cant understand why. One of top 10 rush ever for me. Possibly even top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of top 10 rush ever for me. Possibly even top 5. I can understand how Geddy's yodeling can be irritating but to me a definite quality song. No way it's top ten for me though but is underrated.

The Analog Cub Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The Necromancer. I've tried man. I've really tried to like this one. Maybe someday I will. Seems like an acquired taste not unlike the strongest of coffees if one is not a coffee drinker. A very hardly acquired taste. Considering I drink strong coffee someday I'll acquire the taste that is The Necromancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerofthor Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'll go with Rivendell, just for the hatred it seems to inspire. Taken for itself, its actually a lovely tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

404-ed!!! Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Lessons. Everytime someone says side 2 of 2112 is weak except something for nothing, I just keep thinking "How can people not love this song?" Love the guitar, the bass fills, drum fills. Its just so good 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Countdown is a contender. Totally agree. Underrated doesn't just mean obscure. Around here you'll see people suggest Countdown is one of the songs that drags Signals down. I've always loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The Body Electric is another that I find to be very underrated, especially around here 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 The Body Electric is another that I find to be very underrated, especially around here I agree. It's a very visual song.

Yeah, it must be the 1001 bit that turns people off, but in all honesty I think it's a prog masterpiece 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Beneath, Between and Behind I adore this song every time I hear it and the playing on it is exceptional. I love the way the groove completely changes during the 3rd verse. Clever and I can't wait for it every time I hear it. Such a great song... and shame on all of you for not knowing it's greatness! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 LedRush and I must share some brain cells or something (have to add that Zeppelin was my 2nd musical love after Rush), but I too have to go with The Necromancer. Into the Darkness does drag a bit but it sets up the mood for the song. It is very calming and prepares you for the journey your mind is about to go through. Under The Shadow turns into metal bliss and contains Lerxst best shredding. Then you get the Return Of The Prince celebrating the victory of good over evil along with more mind melting guitar work. Certainly not the song for people who like predictable 5 minute songs with verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, solo, verse, chorus. The guitar tone on that song is the guitar tone that I want (and I'm close) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
