| Very nice list, and hard to choose the top one. For quite personal reasons, I'll go with The Necromancer. |

I voted for the one song from Signals because that album has Geddy's best recorded bass tone ever.  ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

It's close, between "YYZ" and "La Via Strangiato". "YYZ" wins, but "Strangiato" does get points for referencing the great Raymond Scott. ------------- Trust me. I know what I'm doing. |

| From this ones, Xanadu, I guess. But there's many great songs in the list, indeed. However, my very favourite from them remains 2112. |

Totally great song. I won't say its underrated, at least on here - but the album in general is imo. Though i prefer Rush's more slick sound. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

No wrong saying all of them......Xanadu is a giant song and for me clearly the best of the selections when performed live, plus there are tubular bells in Xanadu   -------------

Discovered Xanadu through Closer To the Heart when they first came out and became a fan. Nothing on your list tops it (La Villa Strangiato is a certifiable masterpiece in its own right though). ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting.
