Recommended Posts

10. The Necromancer

9. Natural Science

8. By-Tor and the Snow Dog

7. The Fountain of Lamneth

6. La Villa Strangiato

5. Anthem

4. Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage

3. 2112

2. Xanadu

1. Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres

Hemispheres Is 11, Anthem hot on its heels. The outro of The Necromancer just sneaked it and the nostalgia of Headlong Flight, I love, over the power of Anthem. (Oh yeah, I just bought ATWAS - it's in the post).

Honestly, it is almost a futile endeavor to try and name one's top 10 Rush songs because no matter which ones make the cut there are always 10 more (or twenty) that you realize should be in your top ten. ATWAS... Super acquisition ! :rush:

I was making a Best of Rush playlist on my phone to listen to at work, but it ended up at 142 songs - covering all moods I may experience at work! - so I'm not a great culler of songs either...

142 songs...WOW! But, you're right; They have so many great songs. I walk for an hour every morning at 5 AM and I never listen to anything but Rush on my walk. There is not a single other band I could do the same with everyday, day in and day out. I never tire of Rush's music.

Rush play out the bluetooth speaker in the shower at 5.30am, on the way to work in the car, then at work from 6.30, then until I have meetings from about 10. Back at home 3/4pm and blast them out some decent, large, loud speakers. Wife not a big fan but all marriages need compromise :eyeroll: The best part of that many songs playing on shuffle is the childish delight I still get from one of my absolute favourites playing - and giving more love to songs that I may have not fallen in love with yet, and hearing something I missed. I've said it before to you, but they've really taken over my life! Edited by IbanezJem

I've said this before on, and in similar, and the same threads like this. For a top ten list, Rush's catalogue of songs, and music is, and has been too good, and great by limiting to a certain number because of some, and certain songs having been left out. Even though some will not be, and aren't on it, I can limit to twenty. Here is what they are.

 

1.) Xanadu

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

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

4.) Jacob's Ladder

5.) Natural Science

6.) the Camera Eye

7.) Countdown

8.) Between the Wheels

9.) Marathon

10.) Mission

11.) Available Light

12.) Dreamline

13.) Animate

14.) Resist

15.) By-Tor and the Snow Dog

16.) Working Man

17.) Bastille Day

18.) A Passage to Bangkok

19.) Nocturne

20.) (Tie) Armor and Sword, and the Garden

on what list is Available Light the same level as Xanadu or Hemispheres?

This is like being asked to name your 10 favorite internal organs.

 

I can't possibly do it. I only know these for sure:

 

2112: Overture/Syrinx

Subdivisions

Bravado

Animate

 

I never get tired of those.

All the others change a lot.
