Jacob's Ladder, even if it is my least favourite song off of Permanent Waves.

And that's what they say about all prog and modern classical music LOL
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

Jacob's Ladder for me.

I don't like spoken introductions very much.  I also find Cygnus a bit tedious.  Both songs build up, but I think Jacob's Ladder does it much better.

The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

Jacob's Ladder is significantly better than anything else Rush ever did.
