As I like "space rock", I will mention Countdown from Signals, and as I appreciate "stoner rock", I will mention Chip Away the Stone from Test for Echo.

I vote Circumstances, although I do prefer Spinal Tap's "The more it stays the same, the less it changes" from the Majesty of Rock to the lyrics "The more that things change, the more they stay the same" from Circumstances.

Like others, Cygnus X-I and Closer to the Heart are my favourite Rush C shanties.
Just a fanboy passin' through.

Cygnus X-1 or Closer to the Heart.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Circumstances by a slim margin

I'm pretty sure "circumstances" is the only Rush song where Geddy sings in French. Am I right or is there another one? If there is I can't of what it might be.

Cinderella Man is a GREAT song.  But Circumstances is one of those bits of total Rush perfection.

I’ve always though that Cinderella Man was the weaker track on Kings, but Hemispheres is virtually flawless. My nod goes to Circumstances.

These two are really close, in my book, but Cinderella Man just edges out Circumstances.
Welcome to the middle of the film.

Both songs I like for very different reasons, I finally went with Cinderella Man.

Circumstances. Good riffs, Strong chorus, and a lovely 3/4 middle section which makes me think of drinking Jaegermeister in the snow at Christmas. Don't ask me why, and I've never done it, but hey...

Cinderella Man has never done that much for me to be honest.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
