20 All - fantastic considering Rush are one of those 4 or 5 bands whose fans think should have been in the Big 5.

Henry Cow. Rush knocked out a few good epic tracks, but 2112 has not aged well.

Can't fathom this match-up as I feel 2112 is probably the most overrated Rush piece out there and that Henry Cow blows in general. Wouldn't want to wrap my mind around which is better.

Well, the pattern is starting to be depressingly similar. Ultimately these head to heads are down to who has the more fans... Of course I would say that the Henry Cow song is superior in every way to the Rush offering (which was rammed down my throat when it was first released) However, I kidded my gullible Rush friends into believing the middle instrumental section (guitar/bass/drums) sandwiched by Hodgkinson's doom laden solo organ was, in fact, a rare Rush track. They believed it!!

I dislike 2112 only because it's not 21 minutes and 12 seconds long. What a waste.

Rush, 2112.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Surprised how close this is. I only like the beginning of 2112 whereas I enjoy all of Beast (even the commie lyrics).
