If you choose to decide, your choice is made through freewill. For once it's the lyric that decide me on a tune.
Red Barchetta, another song about a car could've been done by the Beach Boys. If they were a brilliant prog band. |

Both are great songs but I went with Freewill. One of the the best examples of shifting through different time signatures of any songs I have ever encountered.

Freewill is a fantastic song , a classic tune whit a great performance of Rush, however... Red Barchetta is more varied , starting with guitar harmonics in counterpoint with bass , and following mixing hard/prog in a perfect way !

Granted with practically every Rush song you're looking at about a half-cheese, half-serious experience. What you gravitate towards more is up to you. Barchetta is the good, well-aged cheese, though.

Was expecting Freewill to win for the guitar/bass/drum solo. Glad to see Red Barchetta winning because it's getting my vote too.

To be fair I really like R30 and ESL version of song Red Barchetta, it's really great. But the studio version on Moving Pictures is totally decent to my ears and nothing special.

In all fairness, there's not exactly much special or unique about Free Will either.
*insert joke about how this applies to all Rush songs*

It's a fast-paced song about cars with a catchy riff. Sounds awesome when you're driving. Nuthin' much to it.

Why does it have to be SPECIAL and UNIQUE? Why can't it simply be because people like the song better?

17:12 votes for RB? I really don't get why is Red Barchetta the most beloved Rush song everywhere. What is so SPECIAL and UNIQUE about that song, can someone explain me?

Went with Barchetta this time but honestly, this is a toss up. Tomorrow I could just as easily go for Freewill
