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 |

Today, I will choose Freewill

You may be overthinking this one a little.

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.

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.

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.

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

Really tough but I chose Freewill. The fact that a song with time signatures like 13/4, 5/4, 15/4, and 12/8 could get on the radio so easily is definitely a testament to the band's fantastic songwriting ability

Anecdote time, though it's not mine.
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.
