This thread happened pretty recently:

Just so you know, there are other musical groups in existence. Some of them might even be better.

Maybe my favourite Rush album with Vital Signs as my least favourite song, but I like even this one.

Witch Hunt > The Camera Eye > YYZ > Tom Sawyer = Red Barchetta > Limelight > Vital Signs

I'd forgotten about this album.

Actually I have no idea why it gathers so much dislike. Such a versatile set of pieces. Lots of fine lyrical imagery and a killer riff with Limelight.

Least... Camera Eye. To me it was a few takes short of having the necessary climactic power (guitar and vocal at the peak) it richly deserves.

I look forward to being reminded The Moving Pictures exists. Make a good running comedy.

I like the album and I agree with the OP. Vital Signs is hands down my least favorite as well.

Vital signs.

Irritating. Tend to skip it.

Limelight. I actually like the second side of the album. Vital Signs is one of my favourites.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Pick anything that isn't YYZ or RB.

Gotta be Vital Signs. I always skip that track. Ironically enough, that was one of the songs that first got me into Rush. 
Limelight is a close second. Just so tired of it

Same here. It just never really did much for me. I will say this about it though. Out of all the songs on MP it's the one that most sounds like something on their next album "Signals."

Gotta' buck the trend here and go with Limelight. Too well suited for the standard FM fare, and I've heard it played to death because of it. Can't say that for Vital Signs which has moments of pure prog satisfaction for me over droves of other Rush songs to follow.
