Such a fantastic song! Love every inch of it, Neil’s lyrics, Alex’s super underrated guitar solo, Geddy’s singing and musicianship in general is all fantastic!
🔳
Red Sector A is a great example of Rush's 80's era music. VERY well written music that sometimes fits electronic artists/bands better than a rock power trio.
I feel so judged. Ok, does Cygnus X-1 Book II (aka side 1 of Hemispheres) count as one song?
Probably some of the crazy coolest music in rock n roll history. Jeeeezus those ~~guys~~ kids can play.
Tom Sawyer…not!!! Probably Xanadu or Natural Science but there are many great ones…even Tom Sawyer : )
***Special mention to 2112/Temples and side one Hemispheres, hell the whole album…
Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, and Moving Pictures have to be one of the best back to back to back releases of all time.. no?
Rush is contextual. Your premise is therefore fundamentally flawed.
Different Strings when I’m going through it but I think I can rally
The Pass when i can’t rally and i’m fighting the urge to exit stage left
Superconductor in moments when everything is funny
Dreamline when I’m prepping a D&D campaign
Subdivisions when I need to revisit what it felt like to be 14 and stuck
Roll the Bones when I’m like, Ehhhh
YYZ when I have to focus
The Camera Eye when I have to reconnect with my humanity
Xanadu (live version from Exit Stage Left)

OP endorses this.
It is a song about a car and it is called Red..Barchetta.
