Oh, now you're just trolling me. Tom Sawyer and Roundabout by Yes are the

worst songs of all time. Earlish days of XM Radio was my classic rock phase and I loathed those two songs. Honestly, Tom Sawyer is probably 90% of the reason I have a negative opinion of Rush. The other 10% is that I was able to needle a couple of Rush fans about it on this very board a mere 20 years ago or so....
