And no one can say it's because many of these are over exposed or overplayed on the radio. Truth is I just don't like them very much. Analog Kid has a beautiful chorus though.

Fordgalaxy Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 IDK about top 10, but Witch Hunt is #1. There was so much noise about not hearing it in concert for however many years, and then I heard it in concert and thought, meh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate it...I just think it's the least amazing song on Permanent Waves and nowhere near as great as anything on Hold Your Fire which gets a lot of derision.

Segue Myles Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Tom SawyerTom SawyerTom SawyerTom SawyerTom SawyerTom SawyerFly By NightTom SawyerTom SawyerTom Sawyer My least favourite song on Moving Pictures. I bought Moving Pictures blindly not knowing anything about Rush. When I started it I liked it enough...but when I found out it was a major fan favourite and regarded as a classic I scratched my head, endlessly repeating Limelight and Red Barchetta and assuming The Camera Eye was a bigger favourite than it actually is. Oddly enough my experience of Rush was isolated from any form of hype or fan opinion or radio play...none of the hit songs stood out to me. When I eventually found out what songs were "hits" I was surprised. I mean...Limelight is just so great I'm still amazed it wasn't the BIGGEST HIT OF THE EIGHTIES. So go figure... Oh and I will always be amazed that Wish Them Well isn't loved. It's better than anything off 2112's second side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 What does "over-rated" even mean with respect to a band that has such a divided fan base (i.e. "I hate Hemispheres but love Hold Your Fire" and vice-versa). :) No one loves Hold Your Fire.

I mean...Limelight is just so great I'm still amazed it wasn't the BIGGEST HIT OF THE EIGHTIES. Limelight was the first Rush song I loved, even though I had also heard the rest of Side 1 at approximately the same time. In America, it WAS a single.. but it didn't make the Top 40. I never understood that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The GardenAvailable LightThe Fountain of LamnethMiddletown DreamsLosing It These are songs that I see revered by people (myself included). Good to great songs, but their status as top songs to see live is over the top, maybe. That's the essence of overrated, to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxeystcharles Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 1. Tom Sawyer (though it may be from overexposure)2. Red Sector A3. The Garden4. One Little Victory5. Stick It Out6. By-Tor7. Force Ten8. Losing It9. Earthshine10. Lakeside Park When I think overrated I think of songs that the band either really likes a lot or that get a lot of buzz around here as being better than what they really are. For example I would never include FOL in something like this because, by consensus, it isn't generally rated that high within their discography in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can happily play PeW starting with Freewill.i get the feeling that you like or love the songs that others dismiss and dismiss the songs that are obviously some of the best as a way of perhaps being different and standing out??? Not saying thay theres anything wrong with that per se, but it seems done for a purpose rather than it just happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 In the general public consciousness, Closer to the Heart immediately leaps to mind. It's the first song to get repeated on a live release. But no other song that people know about qualify as "overrated" in my mind. On this site, The Necromancer, The Fountain of Lamneth, A Farewell to Kings, and Cygnus X-1 are the main offenders. I think those two albums are way overrated here. Tom Sawyer? C'mon. There's a difference between "I've heard a song a lot, so I'm kind of tired of it," and "overrated." You belong to this board, so you're a Rush fan. You don't have to say you don't like Tom Sawyer to prove it. The lyrics are not the greatest, but the song itself is amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
