Masterpiece is a strong word. Some of you have long lists, LOL. Very few bands have more than three to a half dozen, I would wager.

 

With Rush?

 

La Villa

2112

Natural Science

Tom Sawyer

 

That's about as perfect as Rush gets.

By masterpiece, I mean a perfect song that can´t be any better.

Hahaha! Sorry buddy! No band is perfect! Back to back clunkers.

 

Every Rush song is perfect until "Test For Echo."

 

Yep even "Rivendell" is perfect.

 

I'm just a Rush Homer.

 

Then again I fuckking can't stand "Testicles For Hollow" and "Vapor Fails."

 

To quote Kevin Kline

 

Dissapointed!!!!!

Grand designs, the main reason I think was to do with it's location on the album, it seems to follow on beautifully from The Big Money. Also I have been playing this song almost every week for 30 years and find it impossible to get bored with it, don't know what it is about it but unlike most catchy tunes where you get bored of them I can't get enough of it, I'm even thinking of learning to play the guitar just because I wanna play the riff and solo (along with Dreamline which comes a very close second to this).
