    This has the potential to be one of very few polls where there's a fairly even distribution among choices.

    Indeed.

    It's Red Barchetta for me, no contest.

    I like red barchetta a lot, but right now it seems that witch hunt takes the cake for me

    Gotta go with "Red Barchetta" but it is a pretty uniformly excellent album.

    Really tough fucking call between the first three and Camera Eye for me. Went with Tom Sawyer. That song just never gets old for me. Fortunate, because it's the favorite radio darling for this band.

    Enjoying the results so far, and I'm quite pleasantly surprised that Red Barchetta is winnning.

    I never really count Tom Sawyer among my favorites on the album, but it really is a perfect song. I can listen to it over and over and never get sick of it. That goes for the rest of the album too, though.

    Hell naw. I think its great, but The Spirit of Radio is the only song that matches anything on MP.

    Probably Vital Signs, then Witch Hunt, then Limelight. Limelight live is one of my favorite Rush songs, but it seems to lack power on the studio version.

    The only songs I don't really care for on the album are YYZ and Camera Eye. Everything else is very good or better.

    Agreed with initial assertion as well as your proposed song, and will raise you one "Natural Science"

    this is fucking tough, I love Limelight (live is much better), Red Barchetta and The Camera Eye

    I'll have to go with Red Barchetta, there's something about that song that I love...maybe it's the nostalgic value.

    Damn, this was really difficult. I went with "Red Barchetta" in the end, but really every song has been my favorite MP song at some point.
