Yes!! I'm so happy someone else has noticed Lifeson's guitar work on that track!

My vote goes to La Villa, far better than YYZ which also happens to be excellent.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I can't decide. On any day, it could either one.
A more interesting poll would be...

8-bit La Villa

Versus

8-bit YYZ

Although La Villa Strangiato is a masterpiece.

YYZ is my pick. Short and sweet; doesn't last a second longer than it needs to. Strangiato has some fine moments, but it doesn't have 10 minutes worth of ideas.

Although   YYZ is a outstanding instrumental tune (  a track with Rush's undeniable signatures - virtuosity, originality and refined taste ) I think which La Villa Strangiato is better by far , one of greatest moments in progressive-rock  history.
