I'd rather dine on honeydew than get in touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage.
Red Barchetta is one of my favorite Rush songs, but I must say it's quite frustrating to see it receiving no votes while a masterpiece like Xanadu and a song at least on par with it like Limelight hog the votes.

Agreed, one day Strangiato has to win one of these.
Choosing between Xanadu and Red Barchetta was tough, but I decided I like Barchetta slightly more. It's also nice to see something win that hasn't before. Can't say I'm too happy with this top ten, some songs are missing and some songs are way too high. There are at least 3 songs from CA that I'd rather see here and Distant Early Warning is also missing.
The Trees, Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres, Natural Science, The Analog Kid, Middletown Dreams and Animate should have lasted longer. The Trees is easily top ten for me. The others, maybe, but if not, they're close.
