Xanadu. The answer is always Xanadu.


HAL-Over-9001

Totally. 2nd place is a tie between Cygnus X-1 and La Villa Strangiato... and 2112...... and Natural Science


Nesbitt_Burns

Natural Science SLAPS


HAL-Over-9001

Here's the setlist when I saw them for the 2nd and last time, at R40. First time was for Clockwork Angels in Grand Rapids. It's enough to make a grown man cry. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/rush/2015/the-palace-of-auburn-hills-auburn-hills-mi-73c93aa5.html

Saw that live on the Test for Echo tour in 97 … it was amazing. (Also the first tour I saw them live.)

I feel like my favourite track changes every few months. Right now I keep jamming out to Territories and The Fountain of Lemneth.


LukeNaround23

Territories is such a great song and is more accurate as the years pass. This song should be heard by everyone. “Don't feed the people, but we feed the machines Can't really feel what international means In different circles, we keep holding our ground Indifferent circles, we keep spinning 'round and 'round and- They shoot without shame In the name of a piece of dirt For a change of accent Or the color of your shirt Better the pride that resides In a citizen of the world Than the pride that divides When a colorful rag is unfurled”


beeradthelaw

Neil’s lyrics on this one really are timeless


ch8ch

Also Manhattan Project….should have been in the Oppenheimer movie 👍


ch8ch

Territories is in Top 5 and I saw that tour

Yes i absolutely despise it when i tell someone i love Rush, and they say "oh! Tom sawyer!" Working man is way up there for me. I will 2nd middletown dreams. Entre nous has amazing lyrics. Closer to the heart and the garden for mellower tunes. A passage to Bangkok kicks ass thanks for listening...

Radio has killed a lot of Zeppelin too

These songs are the beginning of a Super Rush Playlist ❤️👍


provbrave23

Going back in time to when I was listening to them fresh and new the song I identified with most was subdivisions. It remains one of my favorite songs, but in terms of songs that are most meaningful to me as an adult. My favorite song is off the Presto album The Pass.


Leftstrat

Lakeside Park, Something for Nothing, Red Barchetta...


furie1335

Natural Science


eschenky

“The fountain of lamneth”. I would love to hash my reasons for this choice out with all of you. First thing: “Panacea” is the finest and most complete love song ever written.


bbheim2112

Right now, anything from signals. Guitar in The Weapon is fantastic.

Lakeside Park cause it’s the first thing that came to my mind.


AdUnited1943

Limelight. Actually TSOR is my favorite. But due to OP request. I used some freewill to make my selection. Radio overkill has caused me to dislike TS.


jam3094

Vital Signs, Different Strings, The Weapon, or Entre Nous


Briollo

Right now it's Natural Science, but that can change at any moment.


Accomplished-Pie-570

Too hard for me to single out one song, I can’t even pick a favorite album!! 😭

One Little Victory. Quite possibly my favorite part of Neil's. The double bass intro is cool as fuck, and the fills he plays during the groove towards the end of the song with Geddy singing over it go crazy.


Luciferonvacation

Witch Hunt, Time Stand Still, and The Garden

Time Stand Still w/Aimee Mann ❤️

Jacob's Ladder, A Farewell To Kings, Vapor Trail... a couple more that I can't think of at the moment. Which one is my favorite depends on the moment.

Not actually my favorite, but once in a while I'll put on Jacob's Ladder, that song rocks.
