I really like it, but I agree...not on par with other eighties "hits" such as The Weapon or Vital Signs.

The Fountain of Lamneth

 

 

That is the one truly overrated song in the entire catalog. Way too much love for a mediocre body of work. A moment of true Rush brilliance on No One At The Bridge. The rest? Forgettable. Truly forgettable.....and they certainly forgot about it quickly.

 

 

That is all.

The majority of people here misinterpreted this thread. The question is not Your top 10 least fave Rush songs, but Top Ten Most Overrated Rush songs. It means that some songs can be pretty good(not bad or weak by any means) and you really like them, but they are undeservedly among most popular or most praised Rush songs.

I don't get why people put Witch Hunt in the list of most overrated when it's among unpopular Rush tunes. It doesn't make any sense to me.

 

I think Red Barchetta is a pretty good Rush song, but very overrated(I don't get why it's widely considered as one of top Rush songs). Other overrated popular Rush songs are Cygnus Hemispheres, Closer to the Heart, Fly by Night, Working Man, Time Stand Still and Tom Sawyer. These songs are far from bad, but I think they are simply overhyped and overpraised.
