I'm revisiting Rush, and it inspired me to open another (crappy) top 10 topic.

So, what are your favorite Rush tracks?

As a side question (and off topic), how to make font italic in reviews?

1. Natural Science
2. Xanadu
3. Red Barchetta - by far my most played/ listened to Rush track.
4. Cygnus X-1 Book Two: Hemispheres
5. 2112
6. YYZ
7. The Trees
8. Time Stand Still
9. The Camera Eye
10. The Pass
