HisCounterpart Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hmm reading through the topic I see that Dog Years takes the crown as the most disliked Rush song.. Have to give it another listen or two - I'm only a newborn Rush fan so I haven't studied everything properly. Was gutted to see Different Strings mentioned. That song is THE BEAUTY!

theredtamasrule Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I don't count "Rush" because I frankly don't know much about it other than a couple of the concert staples so it's out, plus it's not really Rush to me. I don't count Feedback either. Here we go, starting with FBN: Rivendell In The End Manhattan Project Second Nature Chain Lightning Superconductor Anagram Hand Over Fist Red Tide Roll The Bones Face Up Where's My Thing? The Big Wheel Heresy Neurotica You Bet Your Life Nobody's Hero Speed Of Love Double Agent Leave That Thing Alone Cold Fire Everyday Glory The Color Of Right Virtuality Resist Limbo Carve Away The Stone Out Of The Cradle Faithless Bravest Face We Hold On Lots of chum beginning with Presto.

Kugel Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the excuse, Beers! Actually I was gonna start such a thread if I didn't find one. These Rush songs are not in my library. I do not want to hear them. The first is Tai Shan, which takes the barfcake, and the rest are chronological. Panacea gets an honorable mention because I want to make an edit of Lamneth without it; I've already made myself an edit of Roll the Bones. Rivendell I Think I'm Going Bald A Passage to Bangkok AND The Twilight Zone, hate me all you want Open Secrets Superconductor Red Tide Nobody's Hero (I Am Homosexual And I Hate This Song. "Pat us on the back for not hating queers, yay us!" The most irritated I've ever been at Neil.) Speed of Love Leave That Thing Alone (just studio; I listen to multiple live recordings of it) Everyday Glory Dog Years Virtuality ALL of Feedback EXCEPT Seven and Seven Is Faithless Bravest Face Good News First Edited September 12, 2010 by Kugel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushchick10 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 QUOTE (Kugel @ Sep 12 2010, 10:20 AM) Nobody's Hero (I Am Homosexual And I Hate This Song. "Pat us on the back for not hating queers, yay us!" The most irritated I've ever been at Neil.) Interesting. I never saw it like that. Neil was actually writing about a friend that he had when he was living in London in his early 20's. He lost touch with him, and then found out that he had passed away from complications due to AIDS. "As the years went by, we drifted apart When I heard that he was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart..." Maybe I just see it from a different perspective. This is actually the song that made me sit up and take notice of Rush. I heard them before, but when I heard this on the radio it was so different from all the other crap at the time (Nirvana was really popular, and I wasn't into the whole "Seattle Scene") that I just HAD to know who these guys were. Not trying to change your mind...just making an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IChoseFreeWill Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 In the Mood. Only Rush song so far that I have actively disliked. There are songs that I am ambivalent towards- but only this one can I actually say I do not like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Haters gon' hate on my favourite songs, it seems! Anyways, since most of us are making list, I may as well too... - Pretty much all of the first album except "Working Man", but "In the Mood" tops my list of REALLY CAN'T STAND IT. - "The Twilight Zone" :: I used to like this song okay, but after too many times it grew to be quite annoying. =/ - "Tears" :: Love Geddy's voice in this song but the instrumentals annoy me.. ....And that's really it. I'm sure if I went back to some the albums I haven't heard in a while I'd come up with some more, but there are some songs I like the instrumentals enough that it makes up for any lyrics I don't care (and this isn't the case often...).

RUSHAMILEHIGH Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 QUOTE (jnoble @ Apr 1 2008, 04:35 PM) My least favorite: Natural Science (I don't HATE it per se, it's just too long and never really clicked with me) Tai Shan (the synth pan flute in the beginning is a red flag indicating "Boring song ahead!") Red Tide Speed Of Love Animate (it just goes on too long and the lyrics are dumb) Virtuality (liked it initially, but boy oh boy does it sound dated now) Ceiling Unlimited (too loud fast and noisy) Peaceable Kingdom (Geddy, please sing instead of chanting) Vapor Trail (its OK in parts, but the lack of melody makes it really draggy and monotone) Nocturne (more badly produced noise from Vapor Trails) Out of the Cradle (see above) Pretty much EVERYTHING on Snakes And Arrows with the exception of Far Cry, Spindrift and MalNar. I don't like midtempo whiny songs with no hooks or melody, and I don't like an entire f***ing album of them. When Rush gets back to writing interesting songs again, please let me know. Please stay in the dark, I'll take your next ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earwig2112 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Glad someone else started this thread, I was thinking of doing the same. There is one track that really winds me up and it's always the bloody one that your Rush-hating (tone deaf Kiss Fan) mates keep referencing. Everyone has bad days and wishes there was an Undo button on the application of life and while most of the stuff is top notch aural Viagra, some of it can be the audio equivalent of an ear full of cold shower. So which is it? Just hearing "Rivendell" on Planet Rock today has reminded me how bad this song is. Now I'm a mad, bad, sad Rush fan and not against a bit of Tolkien, but this was too cheesy even for my nerdy roots. It's the lyrics, (Sorry Pratt) that just don't work. Guitar work fine, vocals - nice change of range and pace, but cheese factor 10. Still better than "Misty Mountain Hop" and the "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" though...

Earthshine Emmeline Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Most of Vapour Trails ^^ Face Up Chain Lightening Well, there's a lot of 90s stuff that just never clicked with me, they're goo songs, just not favourites I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckiller Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Dog Years, You Bet Your Life, Rivendell, Madrigal, Carve Away the Stone, most of Vapor Trails, Anagram (For Mongo), I Think I'm Going Bald, Cinderella Man, and a few others are all skippable IMO.

rmeclark Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think so far consensus is Dog Years.....But as for me it's Big Money. I can't stand that song for some reason! I absolutely loathed the video as well, back in 85' (I think). I go get my beer at that time, when it's played in concert. But so what....... You know, Rush puts themself out there..... and 9.9 times out of ten, they pull it off! Gotta love 'em! :rush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadu Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Digital Man Just can't warm up to that one. A little too reggae-sounding in some spots and I don't dig the "thump, thump, thump, thump" part either. Next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
