Not a big fan of Rush, but have some albums, and this one, it's one I really llike, powerful and catchy. Yes, is from the middle of the 80's and full of synths, but... here in PA the opinions seems to be much diverse... which track you think it's the best from Power Windows?

I always go back and forth between Marathon and Middletown Dreams. They're both 5-star tracks in my book. Today, Marathon gets it, though. Could just as easily change tomorrow.

Great poll, btw! That album is grotesquely underrated I've always felt.

"Territories" is my favorite. Classic Neil Peart philosophy.

I'm definitely not a fan of Power Windows, but I did enjoy Manhattan Project, so it gets my vote.

The first 5 tracks are all excellent.  Really tough to choose, but I'll go with "Territories".

"Emotion Detector" is the only duff cut IMHO.

Tough choice, I could pick from 6 of these. Marathon though because I run marathons. Thumbs Up

Mystic Rhythms followed by Manhattan Project. Great pompous eighties pop/prog album. This was what I wanted ELP to be doing instead of the tired ELPowell thing.

I remember being disappointed with the album when it came out, but it's grown on me and I listen to it quite a bit these days.  Voted for Manhattan Project.

That's ok, I have it too (reading my previous post...what did I say??? a bit confuse)

For me...I really enjoy Marathon over the rest. Mystic Rhythms close.

Manhattan Project. Not an album known for it's guitar riffs, but the one during the "chorus" of MP is so cool.

Not one of my favourite Rush albums: the stronger songs like "Big Money", "Marathon" and "Manhattan Project" have parts that I love, but also some I really dislike. The only perfect song on the album, IMO, is "Mystic Rhythms", which I also think is one of their best overall.
