The Camera Eye (my all-time favorite song tied with Jacob's Ladder) Jacob's Ladder (not flashy, but it creates one hell of a mood) Lock And Key (didn't see that one coming, did you?) Armour & Sword (a modern classic) Vapor Trail (see "Jacob's Ladder" again  )Very, very subject to change |

though I was/am a big Rush fan, I didn't really like Alex's solos until he began to mature as a player and stopped his Jimmy Page-style 'as many notes as possible' approach.. his more minimal style that emerged on Signals and Grace Under Pressure I think is much more interesting |

In no particular order, I'll go for these at the moment: 1. YYZ 2. Freewill 3. Cut to the Chase (hot stuff!) 4. Earthshine (yes- as the above poster stated, minimal isn't bad) 5. Cold Fire (I think this one has that cool guitar solo in it, I could be wrong...my Rush isn't at hand right now) |

Fly by Night, why aybody hasn't mentioned that one yet? La Villa Strangiato, overwhalming Eartshine, sooooooo... nice? Freewill YYZ need to hear again all Rush stuff, but first 2 options are a must in my list |

BRAVADO. magical, concise, atmospheric solo. one of RUSH's personal fave to. plus i like the one he did on PT's “anesthetize“ ------------- progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false? |
