For me, Red Barchetta > The Trees > Freewill quite clearly. Now, between Red Barchetta and A DFarewell to Kings (song) poll would break my mind

Red Barchetta! 
It could be almost about me, except my own car is blue and has got a folding roof, unlike a true barchetta. But my sentiments match those in the song.

A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

My dad's girlfriend was a rebel in Catholic school (not surprisingly, he's not Catholic anymore). For a poetry writing assignment, he lifted the lyrics of The Trees, and the teacher was quite impressed. He got a great grade by exploiting the nun's ignorance of Rush, hahaha.
But what about the rebel girlfriend?

Well, she and I share a fondness for musical theater rather than share an affinity for Rush. I'm in the Rush camp, though I could see a Rush musical working. ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE.

If I choose not to decide, does it still mean I've made a choice?  

I'd choose the Trees but I'm cold on the lyrics.  I'd choose Red Barchetta but I'm cold on the topic of the song.  I'd choose Freewill but I like the two other songs more.
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

You may be overthinking this one a little. LOL

Freewill and Barchetta are in my top 10 Rush songs but geez, which one to pick over the other? 

Today, I will choose Freewill

I love them all, but I love Freewill just a bit more.

Red Barchetta is one of the songs which I like to introduce people to prog with
But The Trees was my first exposure to Rush and remains on of my very favourite tracks
