Which killer Rush song do you prefer?

Tough choice. Going with "Subdivisions" for the haunting vocal melody, thick synth sound, and Geddy's stellar bass tone.

Subdivisions. TS is quite awesome as well, but it grates on me after a while.

Both Top 5 for me, had to go with Subdiv because it's #1.

Subdivisions for me.

Signals is the best Rush album imo, and this one alongside Losing It are my faves off it.

I could never really get into Moving Pictures. Maybe I should try again.

Subdivisions.

I prefer Signals over Moving Pictures in general.

Subdivisions.

Both great though, and I prefer MP overall.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Tom Sawyer deserves its mean mean pride. Yet subdivisions is not sub-standard.

I don't want to cop out and vote 'both' so went for TS even of that dung dung dung dung bit makes me think of Beavis and Butthead for some reason.

BTW I heard an acoustic version recently of Subdivisions which is sublime.

If you haven't heard it:
