I hate to break it to you, but it's definitely Tom Sawyer, bro. Far and away.

Tom Sawyer, Spirit of the Radio (I actually find it boring) and Limelight. The first and latter are cool, but that's it...

To consider Rush to be the definitive overrated band is quite frankly, batsh*t crazy. There are far more less talented and less prolific bands that could rightly be put in that top spot.

2112 is ok, but I prefer Lamneth as far as early epics go. I love the wierd atmosphere. I feel very little urge to listen to 2112 these days. |
Me too but I've always felt that way about 2112. Sounds weird for Rush fans to not be enamored with 2112 right?  However, I find Caress of Steel to be a far more interesting album. Part of the issue for me is that side two of 2112 is merely okay. I love all of Caress

Yeah, you know I watched an interview with Peart (maybe from that same documentary) where he said that "Tom Sawyer" is the most challenging song out of the entire discography. Aside from the intro, he mentioned that the guitar parts are sometimes in a different time signature than the drums  . In any case, I'm doubling down on "Tom Sawyer."

Not only I don´t like SPIRIT OF RADIO, I think its an effing HORRIBLE song and I will never understand how it got that much praise. Then pretty much every Rush "Epic" is overrated. As they never managed to fully write a concise one.

Not a single song, but the Moving Pictures album as a whole. I often see
it praised as their best album, even from a prog rock audience. It is
absolutely a great album, and definitely a stunning example at how a
band can produce catchy and accessible prog rock music, but if I'm in
the mood for some amazing prog, I'd rather put on Farewell to Kings or
Hemispheres.
