Mine is definitely Vital Signs. 

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 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

Pick anything that isn't YYZ or RB.

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

Vital signs.

Irritating. Tend to skip it.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

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

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.

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

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

OK, I didn't know. Can I delete this thread now?
