You dropped a favorite from each one, and left the worst one each time. So definitely the originals in every case.

 

I didn’t drop anything. I’m keeping the originals...certainly VT due to Earthshine easily being the best on that album.

 

I wrote the first 8 in these polls because some TRFers had been bitching previously that the longer albums were too long and would’ve been improved if the last few songs were clipped.

I want amazing albums, sir

 

Who doesn’t?

Bathory

 

Bath can speak for himself.

As for you, you think We Hold On and Nocturne are masterpieces while Xanadu is bad. So I don’t know what you actually want! :LOL:

:no:

 

Xanadu is a masterpiece, but the best Rush song? Don't think so :D

You said people only like Xanadu because of the intro dee-doo-doo or whatever. Oh yeah nevermind, you used the Get Out Of Jail hyperbole card.

 

Anyway, Geddy could shit on a stick and you’d call it a masterpiece. :LOL:

I would have "Counterparts", "Test For Echo", and "Vapor Trails" stay, and keep the way they are. The three string song consecutive combinations of both "Counterparts", and "Test For Echo" ends them on positive, and high notes. From, and for "Vapor Trails", it's been the similar, and the same way, especially the five string song consecutive combinations on it. Edited by Derek19

Ah- that's what this was about. I thought you were selecting your least (or someone's least) favorites.

 

Okay. Well, some of those songs I need. I will say that I pretty much always ignore the end of Snakes. Maybe that means I need to listen again- Vapor grew on me when I gave it a second (fifth?) chance.

Counterparts and VT benefit more from the handpicking than TFE but that's because I think there are stronger songs (and more of them) on those two albums

If I went with my top eight from each, my lists would look like this:

 

Animate

Stick It Out

Cut to the Chase

Alien Shore

The Speed of Love

Double Agent

Leave That Thing Alone

Cold Fire

 

Driven

The Color of Right

Time and Motion

Totem

Virtuality

Resist

Limbo

Carve Away the Stone

 

Ceiling Unlimited

Ghost Rider

Peaceable Kingdom

Vapor Trail

Secret Touch

Earthshine

Sweet Miracle

Freeze

 

A few decent songs got dropped (the "best" of which was Nocturne) but nothing especially significant.
