Run Like Hell or Red Barchetta?

It's something we're not often plagued by; two great Prog tunes coming on two different radio stations at the same time. However, this did happen in my area rather recently. As I scanned what was on, I was faced with a choice, Floyd's Run Like Hell or Rush's Red Barchetta. With some remorse, settled on Red Barchetta and got into it driving down the road. If you were driving in my place, scanning the stations as I was, which would you have chosen?

"Red Barchetta" is an awesome song, much better than "Run Like Hell." IMO, of course.

At least those stations were not playing "Another Kick In The Balls" or "Spearmint Of Playdoh"...

the one about a better vanished time

Whoa! 6 even so far. Well matched. Some have reflected the same painful dilemma I was faced with.

My mind is not really blown by either, but I guess Red Barchetta by a very slim margin.

Rush for the guitar solo over a synthetic solo. Lyrically over Run Like Hell.
Run Like Hell for the riff but Red Barchetta more varied.
It's a pity Radio stations are desperate for listeners, as I would of played the one they voted least instead.
If I had the job as a station DJ.

Both are good, but Red Barchetta gets the edge.

Fire up the willing engine!!
