    Come on, this has to be a joke! That whole album blows, doesn't it? Or have I been wrong all along?
    It's not a great album overall, but I love Last Warning

    From the top of my head, either this or Red Sector A is the best on that album.

    I'd actually say Between the Wheels is best - but there are a lot of good tracks.

    You would seriously choose Levitation over Motorway City or Dust Of Time?! And you would choose Songs From The Wood over Ring Out Solstice Bells or Pibroch (Cap In Hand)?!

    Out of the albums mentioned, I'd say that Meddle, Fragile, Hemispheres, Starless and Bible Black, Red, Hybris, Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors and When Dream and Day Unite would definitely belong on my "Albums where the last song is the best" list.

    I couldn't agree more about Holidays in Eden, though.

    I listened to that song (BtW) again and for me it ties those other two. I generally don't remember that song as well as the other two, because it was on neither Show of Hands nor Rio, the only two Rush live albums that I know well.

    I agree, the rest of the album is rubbish by comparison.

    I'm not a big Tull fan other than the first 2 albums, but TAAB I like too.

    I'm shocked, nay APPALLED to see Red listed. That is one of those albums where the first track is the weakest and the last track is the strongest!
