1. Tom Sawyer2. Xanadu
3. La Villa Strangiato

I've still not heard anything by anybody that is remotely like Tom Sawyer . Peart's drumming is so perfect although everything is nailed down so tight. Young lad at work is also a fan so it still resonates across the generations which is heartening.

	1. Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres. Can I vote for an epic? Great music, good story, profound lyrics. 2. Red Barchetta. Relatively concise and packs a big punch. Repeatedly. 3. The Spirit of Radio. Oddly radio friendly for a song that criticizes commercialism. Great guitar work by Alex.

	My vote. The Camera Eye - 4.5 points Xanadu - 3.0 points Natural Science - 2.0 points I'll just paste what I said recently about The Camera Eye: I really think they hit the sweet spot between "tight, impressive prog outfit" and "devilishly satisfying" there. Heard that huge riff coming a zillion times, but I'm always astonished once it comes... and it never keeps the guard down. Delicious 9 minutes or so. Xanadu also flows very well and I pretty much enjoy every second of it. The buildup reaches YES heights. Guitar tone is close to perfect. Definitely a huge leap forward between 2112 songwriting and this, Rush entered their peak in 1977 imho. Could be my no. 1 pick tomorrow. Natural Science is pretty much tied with Cygnus when it comes to "satisfaction". But the sequence starting at 5:30, that illuminating riff, followed by guitar solo, and then the pure ecstasy of 7:20, tight drumming, magnificent outro with waves out there - it's just too much to handle! All packed under 10 minutes. Terrific song that probably won't get many votes - yet Edited by thief - October 22 2020 at 05:00

	TOP 20 RUSH Songs - #1 This is the new, long distance project ON A MISSION - to determine consensus 20 Best Rush Songs As determined in this preliminary thread, we are using a method already tested in a similar Genesis Project. Every participant names three songs in order of preference: First song = 4.5 points Second song = 3 points Third song = 2 points After a couple of days I add up your "points" and announce the winning song for a current spot. Then we move on and vote for the next spot. All points are reset. Our goal is to come up with 20 songs and hopefully get it done before Christmas Voting is closed. No. 1 song is Xanadu 1. Xanadu. 38.0 pts 2. La Villa Strangiato. 32.5 pts 3. 2112. 13.5 pts 4. The Camera Eye. 12.5 pts 5. Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage. 11.5 pts ~~~THE LIST~~~ 1. Xanadu 2. to be continued I'll open a new thread in <5 minutes Edited by thief - October 22 2020 at 23:28
