Digital Dad Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 In general: High Water and Superconductor On this forum: Witch HuntI have seen some dislike for Witch Hunt around here but not much "hate" at least in my observation. Even the dislike is nuts however in my view but different strokes I suppose... Witch Hunt is a set piece not designed to play live. They started playing it live twomtours later and of course its become sort of a mainstay. The liked it enough to include it on a live album.

Digital Dad Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I have said this for over 20 years. Tai Shan is not a bad song but it is a bad Rush song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I never understood why Stick it Out gets so much hate. The song ROCKS!!! :haz: It stinks. Truly hate it, I really do. Why?

The Analog Cub Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Hard to nail it down to one song, but I'd argue most songs from Counterparts-Vapor Trails get shat on unnecessarily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Sorry, the terms Rush and hate cannot step together in my mind, not in a single thought. :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadRockGirl Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Roll The Bones. With the exception of the "rap" part, it's a pretty good tune.Live on R40 was superb. The video helped the rap immensely. The rap is possibly my favourite part of the whole song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman2112 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The song that actually does deserve hate: The Larger Bowl (officially my least favorite Rush song). I would like to hear anyone's defense of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 One song that comes to mind is Circumstances. I don't know how many times I've heard somebody mention how they don't like the song. Sacrilege. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasbo Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Superconductor has a dreadful film clip.Great song though.I like ,love all the songs mentioned above.I don't like Freeze.And i am sick of Smoke on the Radio or Spirit on the Water or whatever it is.I was never that keen on it to start with i think.

Lucas Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 One song that comes to mind is Circumstances. I don't know how many times I've heard somebody mention how they don't like the song. Sacrilege. My best friend and I have a very long running ( and humorous ) debate as to who is the better bass player - Geddy or Chris Squire .. The debate goes back to our high school days ( 80s ), and I would regularly point to Circumstances because not only does the song have some great bass playing, but the fact that Geddy sings over the top of some of the best bass lines makes it even better .. My friend always said "Ahhh, they never played Circumstances live, so it doesn't matter" .. I knew they had played it live, but never had the proof ( this started pre internet, mind you ) Anyways, when RUSH released that clip of Circumstances - which was an actual performance - I had my friend over to watch a movie ... Before the movie began, I surprised him with Circumstances :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnEggplant Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Superconductor is a great song I think. I think Dog Years and Virtuality receive WAY too much hate. They're a little wonky and dated lyrically but musically they're great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsy muse Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 What Rush song do you think gets the most hate that probably doesn't deserve it. To me it is Superconductor, the song is pretty good and catchy just like the rest of Prestosomeone else out there feels what I feel! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
