TOP 20 RUSH Songs - #12

This is the new, long distance project ON A MISSION - to determine consensus 20 Best Rush Songs Cool
As determined in this preliminary thread, we are using a method already tested in a similar Genesis Project.

Every participant names three songs in order of preference:
First song = 4.5 points
Second song = 3 points
Third song = 2 points
After a couple of days I add up your "points" and announce the winning song for a current spot.
Then we move on and vote for the next spot. All points are reset.

Voting is closed. Finally.
No. 12 song is RED BARCHETTA

1. Red Barchetta. 22.0 pts
2. The Analog Kid. 15.0 pts
3. Jacob's Ladder. 12.5 pts
4. The Spirit of Radio. 11.0 pts
5. Losing It. 6.0 pts

~~~THE LIST~~~
1. Xanadu
3. 2112
6. YYZ
13. to be continued?

My vote:
Red Barchetta
Jacob's Ladder
Limelight

I think Red Barchetta is considerably richer than Limelight, but the latter also deserves praise: it's catchy, tightly played, the chorus is just wonderful - once more we're treated with trademark Lifeson chords arpeggiated, giving it so much cool factor with a pinch of melancholy. Also like how the solo ends, with that everlasting vibrato!

So yeah, I'll give Limelight an outside chance!

Jacob's Ladder
By-Tor & The Snow Dog
The Necromancer

Jacob's Ladder, to me is one of those songs that gets lost in the Rush catalog. I remember as a teen, lets see 1980 I was a HS sophomore, and that album and song were played on constant rotation. Being Catholic, I connected with the song....understanding even then that Neil Peart had a different feeling/meaning for the song which is fine as to me songs are what we make it to be......He gave me the tools to make it what I wanted.
