06.08.26 | Surely this list is controversial with fucking presto at #1 lmao
But good list
Missing red barchetta, Middletown dreams, the trees, red sector a, lakeside park
But overall ok, glad you included Tom Sawyer… for some reason I’m seeing dislike towards that song lately when it’s legit one of the best songs ever |

06.08.26 | It's one of those things where a song becomes so beloved that it ends up getting an uno reverse by people who may feel its overrated. That song does get shoved down our throats A LOT. So I get it.
Also Superconductor is an absolute masterpiece of a rock song and I will die on this hill. |
twlight
06.08.26 | Well said and agreed.
I think that point can be made on a lot of “hits”. Especially in the days where radio owned the airwaves
Fortunately, I was born beyond a time when radio owned things. Tom Sawyer to me, I pretty much played the song when I wanted to hear it. And when i do happen to hear it on the “radio” these days, it makes me happy
Recently did a discog run of rush (highly recommended). And for some reason I had a preconceived notion about Moving Picures when it came up. Because it was as their “pop” album. However, it isn’t. The band themselves have expressed how difficult the album was to make, particularly Tom Sawyer, they almost left it off the album. It’s inspirational in the sense that even a band at that caliber doubted arguably their best work. Neil said it best, he thought that album was when rush became RUSH |

06.08.26 | I’ll have to jam superconductor tonight |

06.08.26 | It's pretty common to hear contrarians shit talk Side A of Led Zeppelin 4 nowadays. It's the nature of things.
Superconductoooor Superconductoooor |
twlight
06.08.26 | Zeppelin 4 is epic. They can fuck right off |
CaliggyJack
06.08.26 | They even have a section of the albums Wikipedia article dedicated to the debate lmao. Like the whole album is a masterpiece why are you getting made just cause Side A has all the major hits? It's so weird. |

06.08.26 | Nice list, though if I were to pick a Presto song (granted, Presto is my least favorite Rush album in general), it would've been Available Light. Such a beautiful closer, and one of my favorite songs of that era of Rush. Superconductor is pretty cool too though
Also, nice to see some Vapor Trails representation here |
CaliggyJack
06.08.26 | Aww man Presto is one of my favorite albums! |
Koris
06.08.26 | Tbf, even my least favorite Rush albums are still a solid 3/5, so it's not like I dislike Presto. It just happens to be in a weird spot for me, where the band were transitioning out of their synth period but didn't quite know what they wanted to do next. To me, Roll the Bones comes off as a much stronger version of what Presto was going for |
twlight
06.08.26 | Pesto is such an interesting album. Seems it brought a lot of new rush fans into the fold at the time |
CaliggyJack
06.08.26 | Roll the Bones is good too.
I get it though everyone has their likes and dislikes when it comes to Rush. I don't particularly care for AFTK and Hemispheres outside of Xanadu and Circumstances. |
Zac124
06.08.26 | This is a wild list. Have to agree with 4, 6 and 9. |
AlexKzillion
06.08.26 | idk what i'd say my least fav rush song is but superconductor is certainly on the shortlist lmao. crazy #1
rest of the list is quality tho shoutout the wreckers |
Brabiz
06.08.26 | Love to see Vapor Trails make the list in some capacity. Sadly that’s my least favorite track on that album, but still respect it. |
Meborphus
06.09.26 | Was the point to pick no more than one song per album chosen?
Very unpretentious list, I'll say that much. |

06.09.26 | Where is Jacob's Ladder |
CaliggyJack
06.09.26 | @Mephorbus nope it just ended up that way
@evil if this were a top 25 it'd be like 23 |
unclereich
06.09.26 | I’m waiting for user titan to weigh in |
EoinCofa
06.09.26 | I love Show Don’t Tell off of Presto, the way the song starts with that main riff is just killer |
