Both are nothing short of fantastic.

It's still a great song, I think it's just the literature nerd in me that prefers stuff like Xanadu, Hemispheres, etc.

Impossible to rank, really. The Necromancer can't be last place, in my opinion, though.

Ah, The Spirit of Radio. The opening salvo on the first record released in the 1980s. It was a tumultuous time. An age of excess. An era personified by greed, repugnant fashion, and miles of cocaine. A co-mingling of unabashed tomfoolery, of unbridled skullduggery, of unmitigated ballyhoo. The track was a soothsayer. Released on the first day of the decade, it accurately predicted the scope of the pop-cultural and socio-economic mores of the time. It’s a song about riffs and how riffs make you feel. A song about how riffs are the best things in life. Without fear of retribution, it brilliantly scathes the notion how some exploit riffs for profit. How "prophets" is code for studio walls and concert halls and abusing the purest aspects of them. It perfectly encapsulates human nature, courageously calling out the corrupt aspects of life and telling us to ignore them anyway. To embrace the things that are inherently perfect despite their scars. We’re talking about music. The power and freedom of music. One of the few entities that carries across generations, that can inspire a timid man to hate rape a grizzly bear, or an evil man to hug puppies and sh*t rainbows. It’s that powerful, that inspiring, and that meaningful. It’s a spirit that ever lingers.
