Honeymoon Suite.And you call yourself a Canadian

 

[zamboni]

Went with "2112."

Same here. Clearly we're on the same wavelength today.

 

[higgins]

Easily '2112' -- 'Finding My Way' is a close second over "Dreamline' as an opener.

I'm not Canadian, eh.Thought for sure that was George Lynch at the bottom left. My bad.

 

[moonhead]

2112 pretty easily. they have some good closers too, might think about that for next week as well.

Heh. For some reason I always thought you were Canadian.

Got it. No offense intended.

 

[Ghost Rider]

2112 is my pick.

I was sad to not see the songs from the last four studio albums, especially Counterparts, my favorite Rush album, but I know all about the limited poll options and such, so it is forgiven.

 

[NCCommish]

Went with A Farewell to Kings. I just love the whole progression of the album and I can connect with the rant against unchecked power.

 

[David Yudkin]

Being more in the mainstream I went with Tom Sawyer.

 

[Voodoo Child]

i'm a bit of a hater and ignored the "keep out"- but Tom Sawyer was a great tune

 

[pecorino]

this is almost unfair with the epic nature of 2112. my vote, of course.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

This is an easy choice for me. First time I saw rush was in the late 70's and they opened the show by playing the entire 2112 suite straight through - nearly 30 minutes non-stop. Of course I was high as ten men at the time, but can still recall the blaring "Attention all planets of the Solar Federation: We have assumed control." Perhaps not a particularly special concept, but its safe to say the the concept of an entire album side being one epic song will never happen again - it was lost when cd's came out, and completely destroyed by the advent of mp3's.

That is not true at all. There are a lot of bands that still do long epics like that. It's just that, that style of progressive rock isn't mainstream anymore, so no one hears about them.

Not sure I see a "Favorite Rush "song" thread, this may have to do.

 

[Jedi Knight]

Maybe we should do a Top 7 thread.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Maybe we should do a Top 7 thread.

"Top first 7 songs on Rush albums that have at least 7 songs"

 

[NCCommish]

BTW why are we ripping ourselves off? This is America. America doesn't do top 7's like some eurotrash country. It's ten. This country was built on top tens. 7? May as well be the metric system.
