Pretty good song, I like the solo section. I don't have my list handy but I think I have it ranked a little higher than this.
-
Another "uptempo low-intensity happy-rocking album closer." Not a bad song but I often hit Stop before it starts.
-
One of the better tracks from the debut. The ranking is probably right

Mine: 1. Mr. Soul 2. Summertime Blues 3. Shapes of Things 4. Seven and Seven Is 5. Crossroads 6. The Seeker 7. Heart Full of Soul 8. For What It's Worth

"Fogelberg Friday" is gold. Was that a thing?
-
I'm probably one of the few that really likes this song. Yeah it's got an uptempo soft rock vibe but Geddy is in top form and this song might contain Alex's most underrated solo.
-
Yeah, this is one of the few Rush songs that I've heard only once. It never got a second listen. Same with Rivendell and Madrigal.
-
Agree with everyone else, I'd have ranked this higher. And this is your lowest rated song from Power Windows? That is....troubling.
-
I have this ranked a bit higher, somewhere in the 70s I think. It's one of the better tunes from HYF, and the solo section is pretty killer.

Yet another innocuous happy rocker that isn't terrible, but it's easily skipped.
-
This is a solid instrumental, and my favorite track off of S&A. It's in my top-70 easily.

I'll be doing a thread/poll on those wordplay songs in the near future (I've already compiled a list), but you touched on my biggest problem with them -- that the music in many of those songs is uninspiring, almost non-Rush-like, like the music was an afterthought. Anagram is the biggest offender for me, and it once held the distinction of being my least favorite Rush song until I remembered that Second Nature wasn't a song by Barbara Streisand.

Still working on my list (totally taking my time) and I almost didn't include BU2B2 because it's really just an interlude where the lyrics are just filling in a gap in the overall story. You listen to it once, take note of what's being said, and never listen to it again. But I did include it just for the sake of completeness and I have it ranked rather low.

Yeah, Dave's voice takes some getting used to, and some people can't get that far. I totally get that. If you can deal with that, the music is pretty interesting. I'd classify it as funky prog folk pop country. Drummer Carter Beauford is an absolute beast. I'm not a DMB disciple but I do like them. If I were to recommend an album it'd be Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King since it's where (IIRC) they started incorporating some electric guitar into their music. A little more rock, and little less folk. Here are a few songs that a Rush fan might like. (The horn lines that start off the first track sound super dated.)

Probably my favorite from Feedback. I like the intro, and Alex's guitar sounds nice and heavy. It's a fun listen once in a while but I don't seek it out too often.
