Definitional hairsplitting aside, I voted Madrigal.  Outstanding in its simplicity and beauty.

I had almost the same response. Where is it?! In any case, I voted for Losing It. The violin solo is great, and the lyrics are sad, poignant, and powerful.

Different Strings for me, but Rivendell would be a close second....that song really strikes a chord in me

Different Strings. Great guitar solo...which unfortunately fades away as it's hitting it's stride.

Losing it. Just might be my favourite Rush track along with Jacob's Ladder and Villa Strangiato.
Still Signals is their best album IMO.

I don't know what The Twilight Zone has, but I always feel somehow hypnotized when I listen to it, one of my favorite songs in their catalog 
I look up, I'm almost blinded

by the warmth of what's inside me

and the taste that's in my soul,

but I'm dead inside as I stand alone...
