Camera Eye, but Natural Science come close. Both classic tracks from two masterpieces of all of music.

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.

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'.

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!)

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.

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

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

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.

Being a huge Moving Pictures fan, the Camera Eye takes the cake.

They're both great of course, but The Camera Eye would have benefited from a bit of editing, maybe by 2 minutes. Natural Science is more focused, so I vote for it. Also, I think that The Camera Eye has a golden aura around it in the minds of many people, because it happens to be on the "Classic" Moving Pictures album. However, I would surely like to hear a live version of it, the only track from MP that has not been included on any official Rush live album so far.

Natural Science for me too. Probably my favorite song from my favorite Rush album. Camera Eye is just a little bit boring
