Tricky. I voted The Necromancer. Circumstances is also a great song.

A few more overlooked songs that sprang to mind:

Grand designs
Open secrets
Available light
Ghost of a chance
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Anything off of Vapor Trails


Most definitely.  It's a pity that one of the most unique, groundbreaking, and daring albums of the 21st century gets ignored by so many fans.

Don't know about underrated, but it got my vote nonetheless - Circumstances - my favourite Rush track.

On the list there are many.......I picked Manhattan Project, I have always enjoyed that song and what it stands for. not on the list I would have to pick Secret Touch. That song has so much going on in it, a roller coaster, beast of a song!

I'm so happy people agree with Necromancer.

I went with "Manhattan Project".  Really, the Power Windows album in its entirety is underrated.

The song 'Different Strings' off Permanent Waves is a beautiful piece not many talk about.

Natural Science from Permanent Waves. One of their last epics, but I voted for Witch Hunt anyways because it's one of my favorite Rush tracks. 
I consider drone metal to be progressive...

Circumstances is a fantastic, rocking song. Gotta headbang to that awesome song. Though, if Madrigal was on the list, I would've chose it.
