What he said!


I will have what they are having!

Almost every time I listen to Camera Eye, It takes me to a different place. Such a great song. I especially like to listen to it on cool, rainy days. No idea why. lol Some will say it's boring. To those people, I say they miss the point but whatever, liking or not liking is a personal thing.

For Hemispheres, it is the Rush epic to end all epics. Yes, over 2112. At least for me.

As far as the rest of the list, only 2112 and Fountain of Lamneth would never be listed high for me. 2112, while great, never clicked with me like it did for most Rush fans. I love Fountain but I don't love it more than Xanadu, Necromancer, and Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage. On any given day, those songs could also be my 1 and 2.

If I had to rank them all in preference today it would go like this

Camera Eye
Hemispheres
Xanadu
Necromancer
Cygnus X-1
The Fountain of Lamneth
2112

Definetly Necromancer and The Voyage (especially the ending). Too bad Natural Science wasn't a choice (that middle part, hot damn!), it was ProgRush at it's best.

Is Jacob's Ladder an epic? Can't remember. Thought it was.

Looks to be just 10+ minute tracks that were included. I may have voted for Jacob's Ladder if it was in here, though.
when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents

Is that all there is to define "epic"? Jacob's ladder hardly fits usual song format, it builds and creates a wonderful atmosphere. The very essence of symphonic, er, I mean prog rock. So all they had to do was throw in another solo and it would be epic. Ah, what a swizz.
