Three catchy and awesome songs.
The jolly and enrousing https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tq-UsaRchI The succulent and intense https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-PmmMG-6mwo The touching and melancholic https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf8jvSPA3XQ Edited by Icarium - January 26 2019 at 05:12 |

Subdivisions gets my vote, though I like all three songs.

Spirit of Radio edges out Subdivisions and Tom Sawyer.

Tom Sawyer of these three. I hugely love Subdivisions, but it's because of the overall tune and the lyrics. I don't hear much of interest to me instrumentally. Spirit of Radio just doesn't work for me.

Used to play The Spirit of Radio cover with my band of friends and it was great fun playing.

Wow, that's tough. If you had chosen Freewill instead of SoR, it would have been easier for me.

Tom Sawyer. Not just one of my fave Alex solos (not to mention the great Neil drum breaks and Geddy's synth work), but the whole song just jumps from the speakers and grabs you by the throat. Great production, performance, lyrics...this one's the whole package  Though his mind is not for rent, Don't put him down as arrogant! |

"Subdivisions" for that Oberheim! But if "Limelight" were in there instead of "Tom Sawyer," this poll would be a lot harder.

Spirit of Radio - way back in the day when I put on my cassette mix tape to drive to work, it was the opening track so I could "Begin the day with a friendly voice ..."

Gotta give it to Tom Sawyer, almost a perfect composition. TSoR is awesome but very high school, and Subdivisions is a great little tune but just a cut below. |

When a young guitarist can play Lifeson's opening riff really well, they know they've arrived. Edited by Atavachron - January 26 2019 at 20:51 |
