Blue Barchetta Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This thread has been a lot kinder than I expected. Thanks to everyone for being cool.Time to break the pattern! If you think "Dog Years" is better than any other Rush song, you are insane, man/woman! At least The Speed of Love has some poetic lyrics: "One night we are bathed in light, one day carried away in storms". Pretty accurate description of love...at least from what your fellow Earthlings have told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterparts wins easily., Mick I used to like T4E a lot but last time I tried it I hated it. Counterparts is easily a great album, but for all its strengths I like Roll The Bones and Presto more. But saying that, Cold Fire and Everyday Glory are top ten Rush songs for me. T4E is a lame attempt to continue going Alt. Rock. Which they already did well on CP. so the record comes off a bit pointless. but yea Presto beats both these. Mick I just listened to Presto all the way thru and even though Superconductor and Scars are substandard the entire album really hangs together f***ing well. Its got such a vibe about it. I cant really explain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Counterparts automatically loses for having the cringemaking, buttock-clenchingly embarrassing Nobody's Hero.I knew you were different in your musicality. :laughing guy: I still enjoy that song though. MickOnce you get past that initial verse, the song shines, IMO. (And it's the clumsy phrasing, not the content, for the record) Lerxsts solo is just beautiful and I can tell that despite the clunkiness of the verse Ged really believes in the message behind it all. This is Rush at its idiosyncratic best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Everyday Glory is f***ing totally f***ing completely f***ing stupid and awful. Are you are really listening to this song? What a POS song. You guys cut down Dog Years and Hero and you praise this song? What is wrong with you all? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing...and I mean nothing...on TFE comes close to touching the lyrics from Counterparts. For God's sake, man, Echo came close to turning Rush into a parody of themselves! We should all be thankful our favorite band survived that sonic abortion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maplelevy Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Animate > TFEStick It Out < DrivenCut to the Chase = Half the WorldNobody's Hero = TCORBS&M = TAMAlien Shore= TotemTSOL > Dog Years Double Agent = Virtuality Leave That Thing Alone = ResistCold Fire > LimboEveryday Glory < CATSFinal Score: Counterparts 3, TFE 2, 6 draws Interesting that I really like Tracks 6 and 9 on both albums, and not a fan of 3, 4, 5 on each. Carve Away the Stone, one of my top underrated Rush tracks, edged out Everyday Glory, which I also like. Interesting exercise, although very random (track order) when evaluating a comparison of the albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Animate > Test For Echo Stick It Out < Driven I HATE Stick It Out. Driven is the best track on Test. There could not have been a bigger win margin.Cut To The Chase > Half The World Nobody's Hero > The Color Of RightBetween Sun & Moon > Time And MotionAlien Shore > TotemThe Speed of Love < Dog Years Close. Dog Years has a very lucky draw here. For a bad song, it found some seriously boring competition. Double Agent > VirtualityLeave That Thing Alone > Resist Cold Fire < Limbo Everyday Glory < Carve Away The Stone Sue me. Carve is a great song. Glory is just nice. 7-4 for Counterparts. I can accept that. I don't hate Test the way some here do. But Counter is still much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
