Cygnus X-1, Book II: Hemispheres

The Trees
La Villa Strangiato

Here we are, at the band's album with the least number of tracks, so this survivor will be a short 3 rounds, barring any ties of course. I think every time we've done this survivor here, the results have been the same, but I'm too lazy to check that and make sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if they remain the same again.

Note - as I am going away on a trip this weekend, I may or may not update on Friday night, but this is still a 2-Day round. I will try to update on the 14th, but if not, I will update on the 16th (when I get home from my trip).

-Marc.

This is as close as it gets to a perfect album.

Yes and Yes
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Hemispheres

fight me

It makes me sad, but it’s inevitable.

I personally think that the entire Cygnus X-1 Suite in its entirety as a complete piece of music is the greatest musical achievement by anyone ever in history.

How Rush fans consistently rate it as one of their lesser works is baffling to me.

Do they? I've seen nothing but praise for it, personally.

Cygnus. I've never really liked that song.

What baffles me even more is, they will be voting for the same song the entire time to no avail.  Seems kinda pointless to me.  From my experience, it's always the definitive winner on this album.

I hope it wins....but in my experience, I've seen it go before LVS.

Someone voted La Villa Strangiato?  Why?

Flip a coin between Circumstances and The Trees.  Both are amazing songs, but both are a notch below the other two.

I went with Circumstances.

Yes, I suppose that is a distinct possibility.  They are both masterful bookends.
