I'll vote for Red Barchetta as it was the song I loved the most out of the three when I first heard them, although these days none of those would rank in my Rush top 10. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I like them all, but Red Barchetta is the best. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

The Trees was my song when I was a teen, I loved the drumming and of course the percussive playing of the temple blocks, chimes....Still a wonder. But I chose Freewill, today.... -------------

"Freewill" — had "Limelight" been chosen, it'd be a no-brainer. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Anecdote time, though it's not mine. My dad's girlfriend was a rebel in Catholic school (not surprisingly, he's not Catholic anymore). For a poetry writing assignment, he lifted the lyrics of The Trees, and the teacher was quite impressed. He got a great grade by exploiting the nun's ignorance of Rush, hahaha.

Really tough but I chose Freewill. The fact that a song with time signatures like 13/4, 5/4, 15/4, and 12/8 could get on the radio so easily is definitely a testament to the band's fantastic songwriting ability ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

For me, Red Barchetta > The Trees > Freewill quite clearly. Now, between Red Barchetta and A DFarewell to Kings (song) poll would break my mind ------------- TOP20 Songs https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124211" rel="nofollow - Genesis https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=125999" rel="nofollow - Rush |

Red Barchetta! It could be almost about me, except my own car is blue and has got a folding roof, unlike a true barchetta. But my sentiments match those in the song.

Well, she and I share a fondness for musical theater rather than share an affinity for Rush. I'm in the Rush camp, though I could see a Rush musical working. ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE.

If I choose not to decide, does it still mean I've made a choice? I'd choose the Trees but I'm cold on the lyrics. I'd choose Red Barchetta but I'm cold on the topic of the song. I'd choose Freewill but I like the two other songs more. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

Freewill and Barchetta are in my top 10 Rush songs but geez, which one to pick over the other? Today, I will choose Freewill ------------- We all live in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain. My face IS a maserati |

I love them all, but I love Freewill just a bit more. ------------- Levitating downwards, atomic feedback scream. |

Red Barchetta is one of the songs which I like to introduce people to prog with But The Trees was my first exposure to Rush and remains on of my very favourite tracks |
