Someone has probably done this in the past but I don't remember seeing it recently.
I wanted to take some of my favorite albums & put the songs in order of preference starting with Moving Pictures. 
It would be fun to do a series of these so feel free to start a thread with some of your favorite albums! 

This is hard because I like every track on the album but here goes: 

  1. The Camera Eye
  2. YYZ
  3. Limelight
  4. Red Barchetta
  5. Vital Signs
  6. Tom Sawyer
  7. Witch Hunt

1. The Camera Eye (Epic and brilliant)
2. Red Barchetta (Yes it's played a lot, but it remains one of my favorites.  Love the lyrics and the action in the music)
3. YYZ (A solid Rush instrumental)
4. Witch Hunt (It's interesting how I love this one because of it's synths, one of the best uses of them during this period of transition for the band.  Also, it's epic)
5. Tom Sawyer (It gets lower in the list because it is played so much)
6. Limelight (Same as Tom Sawyer - played too much)
7. Vital Signs (This track to me is an indication of where Rush was going next)

I'm experiencing a bit of deja vu here. :P

Anyway, here we go:

The Camera Eye
YYZ
Witch Hunt
Limelight
Tom Sawyer 
Red Barchetta
Vital Signs

Not that I really have to defend my order but I chose certain songs lower than they might normally be because they have been overplayed. Limelight I never get sick of though and Red Barchetta is pretty overrated imo(even though it has cool lyrics). Witch Hunt I like because of the cool synth sections. Vital signs just never did much for me so it comes in dead last. It has grown on me a little bit over time though.

Pretty much the album order is my preference. The Camera Eye is not as good as Natural Science so if you could swap those two round you would somehow have an even more brilliant album if that is at all possible. Also I will never get bored with Tom Sawyer!!
