Natural Scientist in 2112 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Alright. This will pretty much be the same thing as JohnnyBlaze's TRF rankings post on Moving Pictures which finished earlier. Just rank each of the songs on Permanent Waves from 1-6, best to worst (though you really can't apply the word "worst" to a Permanent Waves song). And as hard as it might be to rank songs in really good albums, there cannot be any ties. Each will be tallied and averaged, and the final results will be released in 90 hours. My rankings: 1. Natural Science (you could probably guess this would be pretty high on my list)2. Freewill3. The Spirit Of Radio4. Jacob's Ladder5. Entre Nous6. Different Strings Feel free to chime in with your own rankings. Edited July 17, 2016 by Natural Scientist in 2112 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I know a lot of people are going to go for Natural Science as their #1 song because it's prog epic length multi-section tune, but not me I'm just picking the best songs.I don't care about all that "prog epic multi piece" labeling stuff. I'm just picking the best songs too...and Natural Science is my #1. And it's my #1 Rush tune of all time to boot! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Another perfect Rush album IMHO so unfortunately something's got to be #6. 1. Natural Science2. Free Will3. The Spirit of Radio4.

Natural Scientist in 2112 Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Another perfect Rush album IMHO so unfortunately something's got to be #6. That's the thing about these albums that are so good front-to-back, like PeW and MP. For example, I'd love to put a song like Jacob's Ladder at #1 because I find it absolutely terrific, but it's hard to when weighing it up against such tracks as Natural Science, Freewill, and TSOR. Just like on MP, I think a song like The Camera Eye could be worthy of the top spot if there weren't songs like Limelight, YYZ, and Red Barchetta in contention. Moral of the story: Rush are freaking amazeballs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddyleegenes Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 1. The Spirit of Radio2. Freewill3. Different Strings4. Jacob's Ladder5. Entre Nous6. Natural Science Really surprised that almost everyone else is placing "Different Strings" at #6. I think the song is awesomely beautiful. This is a difficult album to rate though. All six songs are incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
