TOP 20 RUSH Songs - #5

This is the new, long distance project ON A MISSION - to determine consensus 20 Best Rush Songs Cool
As determined in http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124241" rel="nofollow - this preliminary thread, we are using a method already tested in a similar http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=124211" rel="nofollow - Genesis Project .

Every participant names three songs in order of preference:

Second song = 3 points
Third song = 2 points
After a couple of days I add up your "points" and announce the winning song for a current spot.
Then we move on and vote for the next spot. All points are reset.

My vote:
1 Natural Science
2 Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres
3 Red Barchetta

Hemispheres might be a bit "simple" in comparison to some ~20 minute prog epics, but I can't deny its impact. The pictures they paint with music are full of color, tranquility, and I love the production. It's so airy, so lofty! Typical Lifeson chords make listening to this a pure joy.
Red Barchetta might just be their best "rocker", it's a very detailed track with fascinating story. I rarely praise the lyrics (regardless of genre), but this pure idea of freedom and youth spirit contrasted with oppressive, futuristic system - cyberpunk meets Vanishing Point - gets me every time.
