Moving Pictures is probolby Rush's most popular album, and reasonably so!!

Each song is well written and performed, and more than half of them get stuck in your head for days!!

Tom Sawyer is an excellent track, and probobly the first Rush song i had ever heard. Very epic sounding, the keyboard is glorious and makes me smile every time i hear this track.

Red Barchetta is such a good song. The lyrics are great, they follow a young man driving a motor car, which is illegal in the time they sing about, and being chanced by aloe hover cars. On top of the fun story, the song is upbeat and catchy, one of my favorite tracks on Moving Pictures

YYZ is an immortal classic. Its short and sweet. Listen for Geddy Lee's phenomenal performance, but don't forget about Alex or Neil's parts. YYZ is a standard live song.... which is good :)

When i saw Rush in September Limelight was the song they opened with, and ever since than i've become one with the song. Fame being almost like being in another world is the lyrical content. Much like Red Berchetta, its catchy and upbeat.

The Camera Eye has my favorite keyboard intro of all time. Its so epic and powerful, i get in the "Rush Zone" every time i listen to it. One of Rush's better epic songs, all though it doesn't seem as epic as tracks like Cygnus X-2 or By-Tor and the Snow Dog. Still a great song.

Witch Hunt is a good song, but after 5 perfect tracks i think it lacks a little bit. It slows down the immaculate pacing set by the previous tracks. It was really good live, however.

Vital Signs is one of my favorite Rush songs, lyrically, but just like Witch Hunt, i don't think it leaves as big an impression as the first 5 tracks.

overall Moving Pictures is a great album. Witch Hunt and Vital Signs, while both good songs, slow it down a bit and barely stop it from being a perfect album. However, its an undisputeable classic which everyone should listen to at least once!!
