For me it would have to be YYZ or Free Will
How about you guys? We have to have some Rush fans on this site...
<Hopefully some day ill learn the YYZ solo. It's pretty cool sounding and great for legato technique ive heard. By the way, If anyone has learned that solo, how hard is it?>
I love the song "Bastille day"!
Have to go mainstream here - Working man. It's just brilliant!!!
2112: Overture/The Temples of Syrinx. Hell that whole album is great.
I mean it is about a dude that finds a guitar in the year 2112, how could you not love it.
hurray theres actually rush fans on this site!
i get to go see them july 4th at darien lake!
mine has to be subdivisions or of course 2112
Couldn't limit it to just one song! "YYZ" and "La Villa Strangiato" for the instrumentals. "2112" is, of course, awesome. I also like "Vital Signs" and "The Body Electric", which don't feature so much on most "favourite Rush songs lists". I could go on and on
I do think that the the recent "Snakes and Arrows" album is pretty good. I think it's better than "Test for Echo" and "Vapor Trails", although there were some good songs on both those albums. Musically the guys in Rush are hard to beat, but does anyone else think that Neil Pearts lyrics aren't as consistently good on recent albums? I marvel at the clever lyrics he's capable of writing, but over the last three albums or so I haven't been as keen on what he has written. However, from a guitar point of view, Alex Lifeson remains as innovative and interesting as ever IMHO.
I'm going to see Rush tonight!!!
They will be performing at the Nissan Pavillion, which is about 20 miles WSW of Washington, DC. I have my Vapor Trails t-shirt on, which I got when they where at Nissan for the Vapor Trails tour.
A favorite Rush song is almost impossible for me to pick, as they are one of my favorite three bands (The Rolling Stones and AC/DC being the other two).
But in the spirit of this thread, I will have to go with "Red Barchetta" as my favorite.
As I'm writing this, I am listening to "Ceiling Unlimited". I love that song. Last night I watched the "Exit ... Stage Left" DVD. I forgot just how much I like "Xanadu".
Heck, I love them all!!!!!
wahoodoss
Ive always liked Fly By Night, Limelight, and Tom Sawyer. Man the first time I heard bout Rush is on Futurama on the ep where Fry's dream of a world of video games.
"Allright its Saturday night, I have no date. A 2 liter bottle of Shasta and my all Rush mixtape... Lets Rock"- Fry
YYZ!!!
I would say "Armor and sword" from their new album.
I could say Limelight but I have the sensation of forgetting anyu other song that I like more.
I gotta go mainstream and say Closer to the Heart. Love the opening!
Rush are such a great Canadian band...glad to see they have so many fans here at GMC.
hehe- I know this is a 6 year old post- But I have to say one of my favorites is a not too well known Rush tune called.
'The pass'
YYZ for me too! The drum and bass fills in the middle section are just killer!
This was one of the first Rush songs I heard, and it's the one which has stuck to my mind the most:
I have always been able to loose myself in this song
This is one of my favourites.
Pinning down one favorite song by Rush is impossible for me to do , but here is an early favorite.
