Well, it could be because Red Barchetta is on the best selling Rush album of all time. Not only that, it's one of their best songs. RB is easily the definitive choice without taking anything away from Freewill.
Disagree, Red Barchetta wouldn't even enter my top fifty Rush songs.
Well, that's too bad. What would that top 50 be BTW?
Off the top of my head, my favorite Rush songs...
- Marathon, Grand Designs, The Big Money, Manhattan Project, Territories, Mystic Rhythms
- Hemispheres, The Trees, Circumstances
- Finding My Way, Working Man
- Anthem, Fly By Night
- Lakeside Park, Bastille Day, The Necromancer
- A Passage to Bangkok, Something For Nothing
- Freewill, The Spirit of Radio
- Tom Sawyer, YYZ, Limelight
- Subdivisions, The Weapon
- The Body Electric, Kid Gloves
- Time Stand Still
- The Pass
- Dreamline, Bravado, Face Up
- Animate, Alien Shore, Double Agent, Cold Fire
- One Little Victory
- Far Cry
- Headlong Flight, The Garden
Okay so that's 40, if I looked at the albums proper I could definitely fill out the other 10. And I know I'll get shit for Kid Gloves, The Body Electric, and some others making the list but not, say, 2112, or a single song from AFTK
