grep Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I don't think any of the good songs are under-rated. Most songs that are under-rated deserve to be. Opinions... I think COS is overrated and doesn't deserve the praise it gets. Fixed that for ya. Edited April 13, 2016 by grep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 I love everybody's responses, but there are a few mentioned that got PLENTY of attention from the band or radio. Distant Early Warning? That was all over MTV and radio. Presto? That was a single on radio and has been played in concert. Territories? I don't think that was a single, but it has been given plenty of love by the band live. I was more talking about those songs the were ignored by both the band and by radio/video channels. If you prefer to post not so obscure songs, go right ahead though as I love reading people's lists:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Love to see Red Lenses getting some love. I know I'm in the minority, but I always liked it better than Kid Gloves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 1. Fountain of Lamneth2. Anagram3. Bravest Face4. Middletown Dreams5. Second Nature MickAnagram, Bravest Face and Middletown still have not grown on me even after 25 years of being a fan. Anagram and Bravest Face in particular I don't think I've heard in awhile. Just not clicking with me. Second Nature though, I have always loved. Good pick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil1972 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The NecromancerEveryday GloryAfterimageChemistryRed Lenses I really like Red Lenses. Always thought it was one of the better songs on GuP. Certainly better than Between the Wheels or Afterimage, which I think are the weakest songs on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it still has a long way to go until its in the same class as Kid Gloves. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought sonically that GUP is one of the most unique sounding records of all time. I can't think of a record by any other band that sounds like GUP. Even though it's not a concept record it almost feels like it. The fact that it sounds nothing like Signals and the fact that many Rush fans were not prepared for it and didn't embrace it right out of the gates, but came to love it later gives more credence that it is an all time unique record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I love everybody's responses, but there are a few mentioned that got PLENTY of attention from the band or radio. Distant Early Warning? That was all over MTV and radio. Presto? That was a single on radio and has been played in concert. Territories? I don't think that was a single, but it has been given plenty of love by the band live. I was more talking about those songs the were ignored by both the band and by radio/video channels. If you prefer to post not so obscure songs, go right ahead though as I love reading people's lists:)I agree with Distant Early Warning...waaay too loved to list IMO For me, I could've skipped over more liked songs such as the one tour played Presto (was that even a single?) and Territories...so now I will... 1. Cut to the Chase2. Entre Nous3. Good News First4. Cinderella Man5. Dog Years I love all 5 ...backlash be damned. :P Edited April 13, 2016 by A rocket that ignites itself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was the third single released and faded pretty quickly. EDIT: Actually, I guess it was the second single and charted one position higher than The Pass.
