Man, this was harder than I thought it would be. I must've written, rewritten and changed the order of my list 20 times (no exaggeration) before I was satisfied with this one:
Spirit of Radio
The Camera Eye
2112: Discovery/Presentation
*Red Barchetta (Live version on Exit Stage Left)
Tom Sawyer/ La Villa (Sorry, the jury was deadlocked!
)
And before you assume or ask... Yes, I have listened to RUSH since 1982!!
But you'd think I hadn't based on the age of the songs in my list. I do like almost every song on every album and actually own a physical copy of every one of them. I just happen to like these songs more than all others.
*If you've never done so, I highly encourage you to listen to Discovery/Presentation wearing
GOOD headphones played on a kickass stereo in a dark room. It's absolutely magical!!
Another thing about this track(s) is it's the very definition of progressive rock. If anyone ever asks you what "progressive rock" is, simply play this for them.
