I can't choose. Camera Eye still gives me chills, yet Natural Science is a better ride. But I have so many good memories attached to Camera Eye. Ehh. I don't know.

I always like it when Rush play Natural Science in concert. It allows the opportunity to head for the bar/toilet.Wink

Love 'em both, but "Natural Science" is among my favorite Rush songs ever.

Natural Science, but it's close. The Camera Eye has a great atmosphere, which is sustained throughout. NS moves through some brilliant changes, and has a powerful ending.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

check out both tracks on the band's Bio page:

The version of Natural Science from DS is the one that is on the player...


Wow! That really confirms my vote! Clap

Never been keen on Permanent Waves. That album marked the start in their change of sound and style. Not for the better I thought. (However, I do love the exquisite 'Different Strings' and the strong 'Jacob's Ladder' off that album. I can live without the rest though.)
Moving Pictures is - to my ears - a far stronger album. Not my favourite, but decent enough.
Therefore, I voted for 'The Camera Eye'. (As if you hadn't guessed!)Smile

You took the words right out of my mouth! Permanent Waves was big let down for me too. In fact the only song I really liked off the album was Spirit Of Radio. They did make a comeback though with Moving Pictures.
Therefore I too voted 'The Camera Eye'.Clap

I can't believe this is so close. I like The Camera Eye, but I've never seen it as a great track or even a stand out on Moving Pictures. The song just seems to stagnate for me. Natural Science however is one of Rush's finests.
