Eel Yddeg Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 As a opposite of Best song ending, here are the beginnings that start the song with a bang.For me, the absolute winner is the intro of Xanadu, which is right up there with the end of 2112 as the greatest Rush passages on record. Spirit of Radio is a close second.Post yours. 4
Lucas Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I agree with Xanadu .. Alex sets such a fantastic vibe with his volume swells But my favorite is Cygnus X1, with the odd narration and eerie spaced-out sounds of interplanetary travel The Necromancer is up there too .. Again, Alex sets up the entire song with the atmosphere 2
tomhealey Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I'm gonna have to go with Limelight. When I hear that opening riff blast out of my radio, without any sort of warning or premonition, it always lifts my mood. 5

JBsDWdrums Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Can't pick one but agree with all stated already....one that's has a great intro and finish is chain lightning....another is digital man.....another yet...the weapon...and ( don't care if Rush abandoned it)... Countdown....all feature both to me....
JBsDWdrums Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 But if forced....the spirit of radio....really hard to beat....

EagleMoon Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I'll agree with Xanadu/Cygnus X-1 and add Hemispheres, 2112, Between The Wheels, Digital Man and YYZ. 1
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 Can't pick just one.....I'd go with Xanadu, Hemispheres, Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio, and The Big Money 2
Lorraine Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) With no hesitation - Xanadu. Listen to the one from Buenas Nochas! Motor City (12/02/78). Edited March 12, 2016 by Lorraine 3
Fridge Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 I love the beginning of Time and Motion...actually the rest of the song is pretty good too. 1

Digital Dad Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 As a drumming whore it's "Face Up." Overtime i have come to apreciate this song a bit. Meaning its not as horrible as The Big Wheel or YBYL.
