  1. 1. Eliminate:

    • A Farewell To Kings
    • Xanadu
    • Cygnus X-1: Book 1 - The Voyage


Recommended Posts

As before, all of these are in my top ten Rush songs of all time. However, two of them are in my top 3: Cygnus and Xanadu, at the number 1 and 3 spots respectively.

It's hard to part with any of these tracks.

AFTK is such a great opening track and is very close to my heart (no pun intended!)

However I really love all of Rush's more complex pieces so I have had to place it in third place.

We Are Legion :cool:

 

"Legion" was a demon's name, as I recall . . . coincidence? Mebbe . . .

 

"Closer" got bumped off? Oh, man.

 

Do people not like Cygnus because it's too long and much of a muchness? I can see that. But, still, it's "Farewell" time.

I know!? What the actual F?!

When I discovered Rush, I did so in isolation and then I joined TRF about a year after. So... I had no idea that people rated AFTK and Xanadu until then and it really surprised me...I get that people love it and some think it`s their best, and it`s my secret shame, but I just don`t get it :huh:

Fair enough

I guess it will be my turn soon, when my votes to eliminate Natural Science early elicit a similar response.

(Don't get me wrong... I love Natural science... it's easily in my top 5 songs on Permanent Waves ;) )

I'm not a philosopher nor a ploughman, but I'm proud to have done my part.

I prefer Schroedinger's sandwich, you can eat it and not eat it at the same time.

But you have to open the wrapper to know it exists.
