RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 What us your least favorite 80's Rush song. Mine is Hand a Over Fist from Presto. Really the only snob I don't like from the album. Are you fuckingg crazy newbie? Obviously you aren't a drummer. Neil kills that song! WTF? I have no time to waste on this thread anymore. There are no bad 80's Rush songs. Adios. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Limelight? Superconductor? Toss up between those two. Love everything else released in that decade. Limelight? Really? I respect your opinion but this is a very unusual point of view, inasmuch as Limelight is generally regarded as a canonical Rush classic. Part of this I'm sure is because I'm sick of hearing it and it never holds my attention the way other Rush songs do. (Even Tom Sawyer manages to do that.)But it just isn't all that interesting to me. I get the lyrics and the message, but there isn't much more to interpret from them. I also know it's Alex's favorite solo and I'm sure he has his reasons (which only he experienced) but for me it's kind of boring. I can think of dozens of solos I like better. (Grace Under Pressure alone has four or five.) Not really a fan of the multi-track approach to the guitar on this song either. I just don't think it's a very dynamic song. (That may be a reason why it's a classic rock staple...I don't know.) If pushed, I think the outro is ok, but it looks even weaker when compared to the other three songs on that side of the album. I'll admit it's fairly unusual not to like it but it just doesn't excite me the way other Rush songs do. So while I'll admit it's generally considered a "classic," it doesn't mean that I have to like it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatchMaker97 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 As someone who absolutely loves every song Rush has ever recorded, its tough for me to choose. But if I had to pick one it would be Tai Shan. It would also be my least favourite rush song. But I still love that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraroc Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Tai Shan. Every other song from MP to HYF is perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 "Hand Over Fist" not only has some incredible drumming Alex's guitar solo is fukking fantastic. A melodic gem. Alex steals the show on the entire song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon Earl, the question wasn't which song sucks the most, it was "your least favorite" All songs are not created equal Esp the Rush songs from the 1980s HAHAHA!! I love you Lucas! Guess I'm insane! I don't have a least favorite Rush song from the 80's. Let's talk or type about the fukking 90's or 2000's. My list will be longer than Santa's..................................... Merry Rushmas! "Counterparts" is the last great record. I used to really hate "Speed Of Love" but I really like it now considering what the greatest band in the world put out since.

tas7 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) I can sort of live with Tai Shan, I like the outro with Alex's delay guitar. But High Water is all over the place, when it changes key, Geddy starts to sound like nails on a blackboard.

Segue Myles Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I know I tend to give Signals a hard time, but my least favourite Rush song of the eighties doesn't come from this one. It comes from Grace Under Pressure. Red Lenses is one of those brilliant songs that whilst I really enjoy it immensely, it doesn't really suit the album it comes from, and whilst I say it is brilliant, it is also a mood song. If I am not in the mood, I have to skip it! So...Red Lenses. Behind it are Chemistry and Digital Man (two other songs I enjoy less than many others).

Lock And Key Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I love Chemistry, but it's often listed as a least favorite. Marathon is amazing, especially in the middle 7/8 section. Some great drumming during Alex's solo.I love it as well it's brilliant one of the best 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 My least favorite is probably The Weapon. Although there's a ton of weak sauce for me on Hold Your Fire as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
