Fan-Voting Non-Poll: Top 20 "Worst" Rush Songs

[_hi_water._]

I'm bored. So I'll explain the rules to this... and yes I realize I made this kind of thing already, but I feel like making this kind of thing better.

 

1. You can pick 10, 15, or 20 of your least favorite Rush songs.

2. No Feedback songs

3. This list includes live versions of songs, but please specify which version

4. Bootleg songs included

5. Me, myself and I have to count the votes for each songs. No data for you to keep track of.

6. This isn't a poll cuz there might be a lot of songs people really don't like at all that might not have been added to the poll. For example, someone said "The Trees" was their least favorite Rush song and it wasn't on the list of choices.

7. This is by posting.

 

 

This voting will close by... July 13th.

Have fun.

 

And there will be a "best" voting later.

1-20. Half the World

Over 50% of the lyrics are the title. Leaves you wanting to clear your head with a bit of Anagram :boo hiss:

[HemiBeers]

1. All of Hold Your Fire

2. All of Presto except show don't tell and the pass.

Nah. It's just as repetitive, but not nearly as phoned in and trite.

Snakes minus FarCry. How many songs is that? I was pretty sure the last time I saw it in the bottom of my cds right underneath a Steve Winwood CD I had to get to complete my CD club commitment, there were at least 20 terrible songs on it. Minus Far Cry of course.

I'll go by albums: There were some contenders for the rest of 20, but then I had 23- too many. So I gave 6 songs jostling for the final two spots the night off.

 

These 17: They gotta go.

 

(actually some of them have parts I like. I'll put the most horrendous in Bold)

 

Need Some Love

In the Mood

What You're Doing

I Think I'm Going Bald

Lakeside Park

Tears

Madrigal

Red Lenses

Ghost of a Chance

Stick It Out

Speed Of Love

Secret Touch

Sweet Miracle

Freeze

Out of the Cradle

Faithless

Bravest Face

[JohnnyBlaze]

I’m just going to cover 10 of the studio releases.

 

 

My Bottom 3

 

1. Bravest Face...for me there’s no doubt that this is the worst of the worst

2. Spindrift...disliked this from the very first note I heard

3. You Bet Your Life...Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” cousin. They’re both cheesy fluff with wordplay which tries to be clever and playful. But neither comes closing to working.

 

The rest are in no particular order...

 

4. Speed of Love...“this is not a love song”...or even a half way decent tune either :P

5. BU2B2...why bother with this?

6. Wish Them Well...everything about this song is in the below average range; I wish it well.

7. Faithless...should’ve been called “Hopeless” or “Ball-less”

8. Neurotica...there are some bits which aren’t bad but yeah I can toss out this tune

9. Face Up...like Neurotica, it’s not all bad but I can toss it in the bin

10. We Hold On...probably haven’t heard this tune in about a decade

[zepphead]

In no order -

 

Dog Years

Tai Shan

I Think I'm Going Bald

Need Some Love

Virtuality

Here Again

Sweet Miracle

Second Nature

The Stars Look Down

Faithless

Bravest Face

That's my top 10 worst Rush songs I think...

[Derek19]

I've listed by picking, and choosing my personal three, and five least favorite Rush songs before. For trying to getting it to ten, I can only name nine. In not any, and no particular order, they are: I Think I'm Going Bald, Tai Shan, Dog Years, Neurotica, Hand Over Fist, Rivendell, Madrigal, the Twilight Zone, and Take A Friend.

Alright! Voting closed. Time to reveal it. Oh, and BTW I did some surprise calculations. Your least fav is worth 5 points, and your 2nd least fav is worth 3 points. Well then, time to spit it out. Just don't swallow your tongue lol.
