I was a huge Rush fan in the 80's into the 90's. Saw them many times in concert during that time. Fondest memory was I think on the Moving Pictures tour. Alex standing in a wall of light, playing his solo for Limelight. Still gives me goose bumps to think about it.

I have to say my favorite song by them is The Camera Eye. Part of the reason was my friend had gotten the album (vinyl mind you), that had a skip during the part of the song where the lyrics go "the focus is sharp in the city", except it came out "the focus is shitty". Always makes me smile when I hear that line.

Witch Hunt is a close second. Something about the brooding sound of that song.

While I haven't followed them much lately, I have the utmost respect for them. They did the music they wanted. It was always changing. Perfect example of progressive music, exploring new boundaries.
