Topic: Run Like Hell or Red Barchetta? Posted: February 19 2017 at 18:26 |
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?

Rush in this case

"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"...

Normally I'd have voted RB, but Run said something new at a time when Rush had become stuck on traditional songwriting. Floyd were still moving the border.

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

as good as Red Barchetta as, Run Like Hell is an absolute masterpiece of a track.

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

I am a huge Rush fan, but I always find Red Barchetta to be an overrated Rush song, so RLH is my choice!

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.

I like both songs but Red Barchetta is one of my top 10 favorite Rush songs so that gets the vote

Both are good, but Red Barchetta gets the edge.

I'll give you a clue. My "Barchetta" is blue, but that song still resonates with me.
And no air car would catch me.
