What tracks?
-
This must be a trick question. There are no weak tracks on Moving Pictures... :corn
-
I hate this. Ummmm
Witch Hunt I guess for weakest?
-
Tom Sawyer/The Camera Eye
-
The Camera eye / Vital signs
-

Maybe there are no weak or bad tracks, but definitely there is at least one track that is DECENT, but not GREAT.
So weakest track from the album Moving Pictures doesn't have to mean a bad track, just a track that is weaker compared to other 6 album tracks.

Not sure about the best, but the worst is Witch Hunt, no doubt

Best: Red Barchetta
Worst: Witch Hunt

Just listened to Moving Pictures yesterday. Damn near perfect album.

The Camera Eye begs to differ. And what sucks is that it's literally a whole third of the entire album's overall length! :lol
Every time I try to give Moving Pictures another shot and I get through that insanely awesome first half of the album, I think to myself, "Maybe this time, I'll like The Camera Eye." But for the better part of a decade now, that hasn't happened and it brings the whole album down quite a few spots in my Rush album ranking because of how much of the whole album it takes up. It just drags for me and I'm not particularly invested in the song.
Seriously, if you switched The Camera Eye out with Natural Science from Permanent Waves (albeit keeping Natural Science as the album closer instead of at the middle), I think Moving Pictures would probably be pitch perfect. That last third of the album after TCE isn't quite as good as the opening half of the album, but it's not bad by any stretch.

Best: Tom Sawyer
Worst: YYZ

This isn't even close:
BEST: The Camera Eye (and this is from an album I love love love, so it's not like "Tom Sawyer sucks" or anything)
WORST: Vital Signs (Maybe it's because the rest of the album is so strong, but this song feels tacked on, and is too much of a harbinger of the bad things to come. i.e. "p/g")

Wrong, wrong, and wrong :neverusethis:

Nope. Camera Eye is awesome.

Should be titled fave and least fave. If you aren't going to give a specific criteria for "best", don't leave it up to people to apply their own subjective criteria.
Fave - Red Barchetta (love seeing the love for this)
Least Fave - Vital Signs

I don't know about that. I don't really see much of a connection, but maybe Vital Signs was a tease that demonstrated that GUP could have been good. If anything, Vital Signs was a prelude to Digital Man.
Anyway, this thread is a lot like asking to pick the best and worst of one's children...
Most favorite: Limelight
Least favorite: Witch Hunt

Best: Witch Hunt
Worst: Vital Signs
-
Best: Limelight (though Vital Signs is close)
Worst: Red Barchetta

Just.........WOW!!! :huh:

Not a very wise move to make a poll about favourite and least favourite songs and put all the options together, the results are pretty much meaningless now
Anyway I think I listened to this album once or twice and the only song I really dug I think was YYZ, least favourite is "Weakest track on MP?"
-
Weakes5 track is the easiest decision I ever had to make. Vital Signs is shit.
Best track? All the rest really but went Red Barchetta

In theory the results are separated by the "Weakest track on MP?" option such that the votes above that option are for favorite track and the votes below are for least favorite track, but yeah, I agree this is a rather awkwardly set up poll. It's also interesting that "Best/fave track on MP?" got five votes, while "Weakest track on MP?" only got four votes.
