How this will work:

 

Choose 20, 25 or 30 songs. If you have no particular order, at least tell which song is your #1 favorite and your #2 favorite. Your #1 favorite is worth 5 points. Your 2nd favorite is worth 3.5 points, and the rest you choose are worth 2 points.

That seems like way too much work.

You don't have to do it all at once tho. You have a few weeks to do this lol

 

if you have the extra time do it lol

Alright, rules changed. How about we choose 20, 25 or 30 songs. If you have no particular order, tell which is your most favorite and your second favorite. Fair enough?

 

now I feel like a douche giving people homework :ph34r:

I’ll try to give this a shot later. Coming up with a top 5 shouldn’t be terribly tough but after that it won’t be easy

you can just come up with lots of songs that come into your mind... that'll do as well.

Nah, I’m going to shoot for your revised version with a top 20. It’ll be tough but that’s part of the interest

I've done something like this before. I've rearranged my personal top twenty list around a little bit except for my top three, and added ten songs to it. With a personal favorite Rush songs after a top thirty, I was maybe, going to do how I think, and feel order of Rush songs on their c.ds, and albums like what it was first suggested, and said, but I wasn't going to do any ratings of them, though. In this thread, I'll be the first person to list a personal top thirty.

 

1.) Xanadu

2.) Jacob's Ladder

3.) the Camera Eye

4.) Countdown

5.) Between the Wheels

6.) Marathon

7.) Mission

8.) Cygnus X-1: Book One - the Voyage

9.) Cygnus X-1: Book Two - Hemispheres

10.) 2112

11.) Natural Science

12.) Vital Signs

13.) By-Tor and the Snow Dog

14.) Working Man

15.) Bastille Day

16.) the Garden

17.) Digital Man

18.) Kid Gloves

19.) Mystic Rhythms

20.) Middletown Dreams

21.) Force Ten

22.) Available Light

23.) Dreamline

24.) Animate

25.) Resist

26.) Subdivisions

27.) Red Sector A

28.) A Passage to Bangkok

29.) Armor and Sword

30.) Nocturne

 

Here are eight extra songs that have been close, can be, and for on to the top thirty.

 

31.) Show Don't Tell

32.) In the End

33.) How It Is

34.) Here Again

35.) Everyday Glory

36.) Carve Away the Stone

37.) Out of the Cradle

38.) the Way the Wind Blows

No problem.

 

Best off Power Windows for me are Territories and Marathon. I find myself singing along more to Territories though than the latter.

Really though, I love every album from the debut to Hold Your Fire so it wasn’t an easy choice. Territories could easily get bumped out of the top 20 by a dozen or so songs.
