Tom Sawyer Every single component of this is pure genius. Was there ever a more tightly written and played piece of music. Rush just owned everything. |

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Subdivisions for me if for no other reason than it's not as overplayed as the other two. Other that there might be a sentimental factor since it was probably the first Rush song I heard on the radio(at least that I knew was Rush)and signals was the very first Rush album I bought(on cassette but that still counts).

Gotta start the day with Spirit Of Radio, that intro of guitar and then drums is so killer. Neil explained that he had to put his mind into the middle of the song when it breaks down just to help him stay in time, if not he found himself playing way too fast due to the intro rush of that song.
He also explained this to Alex as he suffered from the same, you can hear the difference from early live shows to now. The other two songs are brilliant, Subdivisons and the odd time synth start is cra-cra.......Tom Sawyer is simply a brutal song from start to finish.

Subdivisions is the one I have listened to successively several times over and over. There's just something about it....

Three gems.
Subdivisions gets my vote though. I love the other two. Spirit of Radio is the ultimate feel good rock song, without cheese. Tom Sawyer is a musical tour de force, but Subdivisions moves me. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Spirit of Radio is one of those songs that I never need to hear again. Tom Sawyer is also close to that category.
Subdivisions for the win.

I play it with tapping, not the right Lifeson way but I find it easier that way and it sounds pretty decent.

For some reason I love Subdivisions. The other two are just as good.
