Understandably side 2 does get overlooked but there's some great songs on there, Something For Nothing being the best.

I think it's a pretty strong album side and all the tracks are good. Is this the Tarkus of Rush? Some comments seem to indicate so. I would answer the same for Tarkus too though.

Twilight Zone for me, though they are all great songs.

My favourite is probably Tears. It's a beautiful, sad song and is also probably one of favorites from Rush's early days.

I don't do drugs - never have, never will. They destroyed one of the best friends I've ever had at 32. That's why my drug lingo is deficient (I'm delighted to say)
 
If it's a druggie song, I'm choosing Something for Nothing.

A close call between A Passage to Bangkok and Something for Nothing. I'll go with the latter on this occasion.
