2478 Rush - Force Ten

From: Hold Your Fire; Year: 1987; Genre: Progressive Rock

1987 had a lot of good music; many of the older hard rock bands that went synth and pop had started to get heavier again, however Rush remained as one of the holdouts for a few more years. While Hold Your Fire isn't a bad album by any measure, it is definitely not among their best. At one point early on in my fanhood of the band this was one of my top favourite records, but over the years it has been slipping further down.
Anyway, this is in my opinion one of the best songs on the album. It's interesting that this song was also an after thought tacked on at the last little bit of the recording session; sometimes the best material is made that way.
