_hi_water._ Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) This post has been edited, due to inconvenience. How this will work: Choose 20, 25 or 30 songs. If you have no particular order, at least tell which song is your #1 favorite and your #2 favorite. Your #1 favorite is worth 5 points. Your 2nd favorite is worth 3.5 points, and the rest you choose are worth 2 points. Edited July 14, 2020 by _hi_water._ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_hi_water._ Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Alright, rules changed. How about we choose 20, 25 or 30 songs. If you have no particular order, tell which is your most favorite and your second favorite. Fair enough? now I feel like a douche giving people homework Edited July 14, 2020 by _hi_water._ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Some TRFers are notorious for 5-way, 10-way, or million way ties for first place. Just a heads up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I’ll try to give this a shot later. Coming up with a top 5 shouldn’t be terribly tough but after that it won’t be easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek19 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I've done something like this before. I've rearranged my personal top twenty list around a little bit except for my top three, and added ten songs to it. With a personal favorite Rush songs after a top thirty, I was maybe, going to do how I think, and feel order of Rush songs on their c.ds, and albums like what it was first suggested, and said, but I wasn't going to do any ratings of them, though. In this thread, I'll be the first person to list a personal top thirty. 1.) Xanadu2.) Jacob's Ladder3.) the Camera Eye4.) Countdown5.) Between the Wheels6.) Marathon7.) Mission8.) Cygnus X-1: Book One - the Voyage9.) Cygnus X-1: Book Two - Hemispheres10.) 211211.) Natural Science12.) Vital Signs13.) By-Tor and the Snow Dog14.) Working Man15.) Bastille Day16.) the Garden17.) Digital Man18.) Kid Gloves19.) Mystic Rhythms20.) Middletown Dreams21.) Force Ten22.) Available Light23.) Dreamline24.) Animate25.) Resist26.) Subdivisions27.) Red Sector A28.) A Passage to Bangkok29.) Armor and Sword30.) Nocturne Here are eight extra songs that have been close, can be, and for on to the top thirty. 31.) Show Don't Tell32.) In the End33.) How It Is34.) Here Again35.) Everyday Glory36.) Carve Away the Stone37.) Out of the Cradle38.) the Way the Wind Blows Edited July 15, 2020 by Derek19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 After much deliberation, to be true to how I feel about my favourite tracks, i have two prerequisites ...a) No tracks from any albums after Signals .......... Perhaps it's an age thing ™b) No tracks from the self titled album. 1. Xanadu2. Cygnus X-1 Book 13. 21124. A Farewell To Kings5. Cygnus X-1 Book 26 Jacobs Ladder7. By-Tor & The Snow Dog8. In The End9. Tom Sawyer10.Subdivisions11. The Trees12. Anthem13.La Villa Strangiato14. Freewill15. Limelight16. A Passage To Bangkok17. Lakeside Park18. The Camera Eye19. The Spirit Of Radio20. Bastille Day21. Closer To The Heart22. New World Man23. Countdown24. Natural Science25. Vital Signs That's about it. There are some great tracks post Signals, but nothing that moved me as much as the songs i have listed above 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 30 songs, all of them I of course love. I will try to place the contenders for the top five in the first half of the list, and contenders for the top 20 at the bottom.I will try to leave off the honorable mentions, but if I simply must go to 35, I will> 1. Natural Science2. Hemispheres3. Beneath, Between, and Behind4. Something For Nothing5. Xanadu6. Vital Signs7. Limelight8. Freewill9. Analog Kid10. Enemy Within11. Kid Gloves12. Territories13. Prime Mover14. Dreamline15. Seven Cities of Gold16. Subdivisions17. The Anarchist18. La Villa Strangiato19. The Camera Eye20. Digital Man21. Chain Lightning22. Between Sun and Moon23. Fountain of Lamneth24. The Body Electric25. Countdown26. Manhattan Project27. The Weapon28. Circumstances29. By-Tor and the Snow Dog30. Spirit of Radio HM: Far Cry Tom Sawyer Witch Hunt Turn the Page Cut to the Chase Carve Away the Stone Driven Earthshine Okay, so there were about 15 honorable mentions I whittled down to 8. Some of these on another day might not be in the top fifty, but the ones that his the top 30 seem to feel right at least for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 My top 3 are etched in stone the same as Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves, and Hemispheres....though the top 3 albums and these songs can move around within the top 3. Everything else kind of swirls around too but not too many big moves. 1. Natural Science2. La Villa Strangiato3. Xanadu 4. Hemispheres5. 21126. Limelight7. TSoR8. Red Barchetta9. Analog Kid10. YYZ11.

The Spirit of Radiooh ok, sorry m8 Territories is an interesting choice No problem. Best off Power Windows for me are Territories and Marathon. I find myself singing along more to Territories though than the latter. Really though, I love every album from the debut to Hold Your Fire so it wasn’t an easy choice. Territories could easily get bumped out of the top 20 by a dozen or so songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
