It surprises me that so many here like Witch Hunt. It appears on almost every list.

 

Because it's a great song! :7up:

 

Yes, it is, but a few months ago there was a thread that discussed the song, and all i read was how awful it was. That is why I made my comment.

Does anyone know how many songs there are to choose from? I don't include the Feedback songs, and I'm not sure I would include drum solos...I'm just too lazy to do the math on this. Does anyone know offhand?

 

Killer lists, by the way.

171 in total, I think (hence, my name meaning 171)

Just curious whether anyone ever listens to the other three (that I know of) Rush compositions: You Can't Fight It (from their first 45 release and obviously featuring Rutsey), Garden Road and Fancy Dancer (which can both be found on the Agora Ballroom LP and online). I think You Can't Fight It is so-so, Fancy Dancer is kind of fun, and Garden Road is killer - I love that tune!
