Rush (the band) fans are taking over

This thread is useless without an ordering link. Quit slacking, Sobchak!

Rush = greatness. That is all.

 

Which one?

For my money, the band's most underrated song. Awesome tune.

 

My love for "The Necromancer" goes on unabated.

Rush is fucking awesome ... in small doses.

 

"Marathon" ... great lyrics (although I didn't understand what it was really about until I was about 30) and amazing bass line.

 

Ahhh ... "Power Windows." The first concert I ever saw was that tour, at Alpine Valley outdoor music theater near Lake Geneva, Wis. And contrary to what others post here, there was plenty of great scenery for a 14-year-old lad to enjoy!

You're right, JavaMan. At the time, songs like Big Money and the Enola Gay song struck a chord with me, but when you listen to the album as an adult, different songs sound good, too.

Also ... I second that vote for "The Trees" as one of Rush's better ones. In fact, when you throw in "Circumstances" and "La Villa Strangiato," side two of Hemispheres might be their best album side.

 

Superb lyrics.
Great bass line - in 7/4, no less.
Outstanding percussion fill before the final chorus.

It's probably in the Top 5 of overlooked Rush tracks.

 

Fixed that for you, Pall. ;D

Seriously, the drum crescendo in that song is so addicting. Absolutely love this song.

I could have thrown out "Witch Hunt" as an underrated Rush song. But that'd be overkill.
