Ooh, difficult choice. Obviously I would have chosen Natural Science but it had to be excluded...  So I would now choose either Freewill or Spirit of Radio... Probably Freewill though. Please don't ask why...

of course Natural Science is my fav from the album, but for this poll I go for
the other amazing Jacobīs Ladder form permanent waves.

I assume he excluded Natural Science because he figured everyone would vote for it, if it were included, thus making the poll rather pointless.

Well I wouldn't have voted for it even if it had been here. I voted for Entre Nous but the whole album is great, possibly my favourite Rush.

Firstly, Permanent Waves is one of my least favourite Rush albums.
I can't stand 'The Spirit Of Radio', and I'm not too keen on 'Entre Nous' or 'Natural Science' either!
However, the other three are all good songs. 'Freewill' is catchy, 'Jacob's Ladder' has a nice slow build up, and excellent guitar work from Alex, and then, we have the wonderful 'Different Strings'.
And that gets my vote. The most beautiful song Rush had written since 'Madrigal' off A Farewell To Kings.  |

I am with you I am so tire of The spirit of radio I don't hate it.It just has been overplayed on the radio, which killed it. On the other hand Different Strings"is great song well played that I guess was never played on the radio, however, is too short  and the I always feel disappointed of the editing of the solo at this end of it.

As a brief aside, I remember an interview with Van Halen around the same time that RUsh was touring Permanent Waves. It seems that Eddie would play Different Strings as a way of making fun of Rush. Oh well, Eddie's a great guitarist & rehab denizen & an egomaniac. I'd party with VH, but would prefer having the guys in Rush as friends.
