This is another that seemingly got a bump in popularity after it was brought back on the Snakes & Arrows tour. Oddly, it went the other way for me, as it ranks a lot lower for me than it did 15-20 years ago. It used to be a top 3 song for me from Signals, but it was the 5th highest on my top 75. In fact, it barely made it, finishing at 75.
I did NOT care for this song at first, and I have no idea why. This song kicks all kinds of ass (particularly Geddy's bass playing, and Neil's drums sound amazing), and I was so happy it got brought back in 2007/08. I ranked this at #15.

What an awesome song. Like many Rush fans, that was pure joy getting this song two months before the release of Clockwork Angels. Just a bad ass song all-around, one I had at 35.
After being told for so long that Rush was going to make a return to its old rockin' song, this song probably came closest to doing it. I had it at #38 -- the highest ranked of three songs from CA in my top 75.
