I love Seventh Son the most. So epic...and the final two minutes being some of the heaviest stuff they've ever done. 

Honourable mentions to Rime... and The Legacy. Both very good indeed.
Hello, mirror. So glad to see you, my friend. It's been a while...

I know someone said this before, and since I completely agree I will restate that post.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner. A great composition and great piece of prog related metal using no synth, no keyboards, no moogs( don't have anything against those instruments though), just good old duel guitar, bass, drums and the amazing vocal style of Bruce.

Tough call, Rime of the Ancient Mariner or 7th Son. Both great, I'll go with 7th Son.

Alexander the Great, just because Caught Somewhere in Time is too short.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner is extremely awesome.  Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is very close, but both have excellent lyrics and musicianship.
I Love Rush.

I'm not overly familiar with half of the list (mainly the stuff after Brave New World), but I recall Dream Of Mirrors being a pretty cool song from their Rio performance.  I won't vote though.

Rime of the Ancient Mariner........by a long shot. I mean come on, even the title is awesome. This song has a begining, middle and end, gives you a message at the end...a complete story. No need for any follow up songs to explain this classic poem/fable.
 
Up the Irons!!!!

I highly adore To Tame a Land, but it's not in the list. I soppose it's not enough long. From the list I'm with the magnificent Legacy from the latest album. It's high class song in terms of everything.ClapClapClap

Can't believe Rime is winning by such enormous margin over Alexander the Great which is really their best song ever. C'mon guys !!!
