Top 10 most under rated RUSH songs

Chemistry is underrated? And Entre Nous?

 

Yikes, I'd hope not.

 

Most of Snakes and Arrows is underrated, by my estimate. It's a powerful album overall. Far better than its predecessor and its followup.

 

But by a country mile, the debut is constantly and unfairly underrated. Imma just go ahead and say Here Again is criminally underrated. :)

 

 

I totally agree with you about S&A and RUSH. I love their debut. Like you said, the lyrical content of S&A is very powerful.

We all have our opinions about what is under rated or not. Typically, if you really like a song and either never heard it live or never heard it on the radio then I think you can call it under rated.

 

Anyway, how about Bravado or Armor and Sword?

As a rule, I just assume the opposite of what you say is right. In this case, I'm batting 1000.

 

As a rule, you're just a kid and your opinion doesn't matter quite yet. :)

It's really weird, most of the Rush nerds hereabouts really hate the debut. I guess it's a Knights of the Peart Table thing. It friggin' rawks.

 

The S&A tour was probably the best show I've seen. Helped that I had front row Hollywood Bowl, granted, but...the setlist was awesome and they were on fire.

Take a Friend? are you kidding dude?

 

sorry but thats bloody awful cut. Garden Road or I've Been Running would have been a better choice. Damn thats a horrible song. ;)

 

I've got Garden Road on there

 

yes, it is underrated - just look at your response ;)

 

I love Alex and the slide on that - on fire

I love Bravado and Armor & Sword. Unfortunately, not as many around here feel that way.

I would say that "take a friend" is at least better than "need some love." My least favorite song from the debut is "here again." I thought that song would grow on me and I would learn to like it but it never quite happened. Just a dull song that is trying to be something it isn't.

Entre Nous most certainly isn't. I've never read much dislike for it on here and the band did play it on the S&A tour, so obviously they thought something of it to in order to play it after all those years.

 

There is certainly a divide on this forum when it comes to Chemistry. I think it's an OK tune and nothing more. Of course the song might sound better if it wasn't put between two far superior tracks on Signals.

I dunno, maybe I'm biased. i love every single moment on Signals.

Chemistry is an epic song. Signals is Rush's best album. :)

 

Yeah, I know Here Again is virtually universally derided. I think it's got some bluesy Alex mojo in it. Love it.

 

Nobody gives the debut much kudos except for Working Man and once in a great while, Finding My Way.

 

Too bad. It's solid from start to finish.

I don't there are many truly underrated Rush songs because there are songs like The Weapon and The Fountain of Lamneth which have such a cult following on here that it is hard for me to think they are underrated.

Emotion Detector

Cut to the Chase

Sweet Miracle

 

I only have 3 at the moment. I know Sweet Miracle won't get any love but I like the simplicity, the lyrics and Alex's guitar sound on the bridge.
