JohnnyBlaze Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Probably in this order... 1) Bravest Face...yodeling garbage 2) You Bet Your Life...sounds like Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” - Buddy Holly Ben Hur bla bla bla suck 3) Speed of Love...(underserving of a comment) 4) Rivendell...Necromancer is an example of a good song made when drugged up; Rivendell is an example of a shit song when drugged up 5) Face Up...these lyrics kill this song for me. If it were an instrumental or just a bunch of humming I'd pass it. It’s a shame as the music behind the words is decent I think I’m going to have to replace Face Up with Wish Them Well as there’s nothing in it that I enjoy. Nothing.At least Face Up has the stuff I said previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Face Up would've sounded much better with the beefier Kevin Shirley Counterparts sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Wish Them Well starts off just like a Green Day song who's name I can't recall at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 The Color Of Right belongs on a list too. I've never understood the point of the lyrics of it and its the beginning of Geddy's "I couldn't sing a good hook or melody to this" phase that would only get worse as time went on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 This thread is not fair. There are 11 equally,utterly, totally, completely, entirely shitty songs on Test For Echo. 6 of them shouldn't be let off the hook because you only want 5! My 11: Can't Fight It Need Some Love Working Man Fly By Night Closer To The Heart (studio version only...kicks ass live) Limelight Superconductor Ghost Of A Chance Face Up Neurotica The Speed Of Love Carve Away The Stone Oh wait....that's not 11.

Something from side 1 of their masterpiece is among their worst songs? Fly By Night and Working Man are probably in my 25 favorite songs by them.

Mithrandir Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The worst to me, and in my opinion, off albums I listen to regularly... The Mission (blah, the intro makes me cringe)Bravest FaceWe hold onGood News FirstMiddletown DreamsEmotion Detector I don't care if the rest of you lot love them, I don't care if they speak to you, I don't care if they strike a chord. I don't care, I don't like 'em.Middletown Dreams??? WTF!!! That's TOP TEN Rush for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy Jazz Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Even the Beatles had a few clunkers. Everyone makes mistakes. What were Rush's top 5 worst songs? 1 ) Roll the Bones (has to be the worst I can think of with the horrible orchestra hits and the "rapping" if you can call it that. Why are we here? Because we're here. Really?2) I think I'm going bald - Cheesemania3) Face Up4) Dog Years5) Leave that thing Alone - Lazy Not surprised by #1-4. But to #5’s one word comment I reply, “Holy shit. ‘Lazy’?! Rush?! They were like three hyperactive bees for their entire career.”#1-4 + Faithless...love all :rush: instrumentals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Another glass half empty thread. I will NOT make a list of 5 bad Rush songs because I'd rather revere Rush for how AWESOME they are! And the fact some songs are weaker than others is positive in the respect that Rush always creates something different. That's why they are so awesome! So continue on with this stupid thread if you must. Edited March 2, 2018 by Tick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
