Those are all amazing songs. Hard to pick one. I'll go with Subdivisions because it was the first Rush song I ever heard.

Great topic!

I can't think of one in particular, so the best might have to be--Natural Science, Jacob's Ladder, Marathon, Subdivisions, or Witch Hunt.

The only band that I've continuously liked for almost 20 years, and they write the best music and lyrics. An Aspie dream :D

I just have the "A Show of hands", "Moving Pictures", and "Signals" CD's so don't have all the selections. Out of the selections I went with Subdivisions.

I don't like Rush much, the singer's voice and way of singing is annoying to me.

But I'd have to say my favorite and only one I know is "Tom Soyeeee"

Thanks, Rush is soothing, dreamy and (its genre) progressive

Are you kidding!

Geddy Lee has the best rock tenor I've ever heard!

In Grade 6, one of my classmates used to play "Limelight" and "Tom Sawyer" on his record player every day during lunch hour. Rush is the ultimate band for air-drummers.

It has none of my favourites!

I like YYZ, Dreamline, Roll the bones and Bravado.

You also forgot the "they're all so great that i can't decide" option...

Lots of Rush fans here! Outstanding!

Trivia time: Why is 'YYZ' so named?
