I would have to say that my favorite Rush songs are in no particular order.
1. Red Barchetta (live)
2. Red Sector A
3. Xanadu
4. Cygnus X-1(parts one and two)
5. The Trees
That's just a few of them I love Rush's music.
And RUSH IN RIO!!!! What a great DVD. One of my favorites.

Distant Early Warning

You've got company at least. That's my fave, too. When the chorus kicks in, it's a real Memorex moment. (Remember the old Memorex ads with the guy sitting in his chair being blown away? When you feel like that, it's a Memorex moment.)

I can remember sitting glued to MTV as a little Hatt, waiting for the Distant Early Warning video to come on. Unfortunately the Ed Wood-ish tin foil special effects don't hold up so well today.

Soooooo many other good songs, too. Tell me again why they aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? They inducted Percy Sledge this year, and his recap was five minutes of clips from "When A Man Loves a Woman". Nothing else. One song. Yet Rush puts out quality material for 30 years and gets no love? Grrrrr. Hatt angry.

Totally man. There's just something really cool about that song. It's awesome. I love a lot of their other songs, but that's the song for me. I think I need to go listen to that song now...
