Cannot believe there are people worrying about someone else’s choice of favourite Rush tracks.

 

What are you guys, 12 years old?

Yet here you are, worrying about people worrying about someone else's choices of favorite Rush music.

i didn't even know Tony R was still a thing.

I like Eddie Trunk and think he's a good interviewer. This list is on-brand for him, as he's well-known not to like the '80s synth era much, which is fine.

 

Personally I think it's great that someone with Eddie's platform is giving Rush this kind of attention at all. That's more important to me than agreeing with every one of his choices.

All this list proves is the mans extreme narcissism and his total self-delusion that anyone gives a flying f**k what he thinks about.....well, anything really.

Yeah

 

And given his profession #1 should come as no surprise

If he sees his shadow we get 6 more months of Peart bashing.

My list, save for a small few exceptions, would look so different.

 

Finding My Way, What You're Doing, and Stick It Out wouldn't get out of the bottom 20.

The chupacabra usually comes out at night to feed when nobody is around. So, I would say Earl is the forums version of that.

Making lists like this is pretty impossible when you love the band as much as I imagine we all do, but here are some quick thoughts:

 

#1 is way too pedestrian, IMO. Not trying to be snooty, but the song has never blown me away. I get why it's a crowd favorite, but for me it doesn't do much.

 

Red Barchetta also is too high, IMO. Again, the song doesn't excite me as much as other songs.

 

On the converse, another obvious choice for #1 - Tom Sawyer - would have been fine by me. Go figure.

 

La Villa needs to be higher. We're talking top 10.

 

Interesting to place Jacob's Ladder so high (if at all).

 

Regardless of level of fandom, the omission of Subdivisions is glaring.

 

No quibbles that Roll the Bones isn't on there. It's another one of those "take it or leave it" songs for me.

 

No opinion on Stick It Out being there - I just find it interesting it's there.

 

For me, the only potential fanboi inclusions would be The Garden or Headlong Flight.

 

Eddie Trunk should be in Goodfellas.

Yeah put in a trunk. Permanently.
