"Trees" is awesome. "Working Man" too. Love the whole 2112 album, and almost all the pre-2112 stuff.

Personal favorite is probably for personal reasons. My buddy and I were huge Rush fans back in the late 70s and early 80s, and we and another friend got front row seats at Poplar Creek outdoor theatre in Wisconsin. Midway through the show, the first couple notes of "Closer to the Heart" play, and my buddy Bill and I jump to our feet screaming (our seats were off to the left). Geddy Lee walks over to us and sings the first couple verses right in front of us, looking right at us. We were in awe. Cool moment in time, and for that reason, "Closer to the Heart" will always be my favorite Rush song.
