 Topic: Another random, pointless Rush poll
Posted: February 09 2015 at 08:20 |
|
This poll was inspired by my morning drive, where I listened to these three album openers. Choose your favorite - but choose wisely, as the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

I'll give it to Animate. Counterparts is underrated.

"Dreamline" has one of Rush's most poignant refrains. It gets my vote, but I'm a fan of all three.

I really love Animate. It's always appealed to me thanks to my... ahem - inner conflict,
Goddess in my garden,
Sister in my soul,
Angel in my armor,
Actress in my role
Far Cry is a wicked rocker that can always has me singing along - a solid reminder that we all have our victories and our defeats.
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel and the next it's rolling over me,
I can get back on, I can get back on
But I voted Dreamline. I don't know if it's the 'whoosh' that starts it or the opening guitar riff but that song makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Maybe it's because when I was so young I wondered who could possibly think themselves immortal - and then in my viciously ambitious years forgetting all together what mortal was.
When we are young,
Wandering the face of the Earth
Wondering what our dreams might be worth
Learning that we're only immortal
For a limited time

Great post. It was thinking something similar about those Dreamline lyrics, it was interesting listening to them being far removed from "immortality" vs. when I was a teenager.

Animate is pretty high up on my list of favourite Rush albums (oops meant 'tracks' of course) so I go with that.

Dreamline is probably one of my favourite songs ever. Easiest poll yet.

Dreamline.

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.

Animate, a cracking number from a classic Rush album.
