Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm gonna say if it's a compilation then it's probably a double vinyl record or a single CD, so around 120 minutes. I'll have to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thizzellewashington Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Breaking the rules about 2 songs max per album but after Neil died, I basically made this as a 3-part playlist as a way to introduce people to Rush. Each part is the exact length of a CD. A mix of hits and deep cuts, at least one song from every album (except Feedback), each "disc" sequenced in a way that sounds good, not chronologically. I think it does the job well. Part 1:1. Limelight2. Freewill3. Ghost of a Chance4. The Anarchist5. How it Is (2013 remix)6. The Analog Kid7. Red Sector A8. Leave That Thing Alone9. Mission10. Middletown Dreams11. Tom Sawyer12. By-Tor and the Snow Dog13. Xanadu14. Vital Signs Part 2:1. 2112 (full)2. Subdivisions3. Manhattan Project4. Ghost Rider (2013 remix)5. Circumstances6. The Wreckers7. Headlong Flight8. Red Barchetta9. The Spirit of Radio10. La Villa Strangiato11. Working Man Part 3: 1. One Little Victory (original mix)2. Time Stand Still3. YYZ4. Animate5. Distant Early Warning6. The Pass7. Driven8. Bastille Day9. Vapor Trail (2013 remix)10. Marathon11. Far Cry12. Dreamline13. Natural Science14. Closer to the Heart15.

Stormtron Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I started making one but realized it was all just the longest songs from the debut to Moving Pictures. I'm not gonna figure out how to break that down into an album, so I'll just call it the 420blazeit Longboi Playlist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malignant Narcissist Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 How about a collection of all the epics? I've put the following together as possibly a set of 5 CDs or groupings or order depending on what medium you're used to (i.e. how old you are!).Seemed a reasonable order as a starter-for-10.Thought about putting Cygnus and Hemispheres together - could be done. But I thought one could go from Disk 1 to Disk 2 with a nod to having A Farewell To Kings and then having to put Hemispheres on separately as most of us would have experienced it. Last disk was a bit of an afterthought but there may be a few other tracks out there that are knocking on the door. # Disk 1// Coleridge, Strange Dreams and Black HolesXanaduLa Villa StrangiatoCygnus X-1 # Disk 2//The Big OnesHemispheres2112 # Disk 3// The Last of the epicsNatural ScienceThe Camera Eye # Disk 4// The BeginningsBy-Tor and the SnowDogThe NecromancerFountain Of Lamenth # Disk 5// The shorter ones and a nod to the pastHeadlong FlightJacob's LadderThe Garden 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malignant Narcissist Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Kind of stole Stromtron's idea in the end but in reality it was great minds think alike! Had my draft list on the go for a while and posted before seeing Stromtron's. Does mine match your 420blazeit Longboi Playlist in any way Stromtron? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamas Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Ugh, I have thought about this a few times.A couple of years ago I made a book of all the song lyrics and my choices will be made by reading through them and "hearing" the songs.Not an easy task, thanks treeduck for the challenge :) It seems appropriate to want to send a message, if one is going to choose only two songs from each album.What if the compilation album created was to be sent into space on the nose of the next space craft? It has to say something about their music. Self imposed deadline: Very soon and before I get too busy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) I've done something like this before. With most of my favorite Rush songs, I did two 1 hr., and 20 mins. c.ds, but I didn't include a song from their "Caress of Steel". To completely fill a c.d., I didn't want to put the song "I Think I'm Going Bald" on it. On the two c.ds from "Clockwork Angels" to "Rush" studio c.ds, and albums, the songs are in reverse chronological order. For both c.ds, I've named them "Reflections of the Past" as their titles. C.d.

Bahamas Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 At Power Windows, so far.That is 11 out of 19!I am trying... This has been a good project for me.I am using the "2 songs per album" formula. Hard. Super hard. Thanks for the extra task, to do.Aside from daily life, I love the idea of trying to stuff a huge vinyl record into my new (used) Forester and listening to the play back. Ugh, but yes that would be fun to try? Always listening to songs...always wishing I came across a puzzle that took, like, a minute.But this longer puzzle is better, it has given me a good reason to re-read the lyrics of every album. :rush: A few more to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) With two 1 hr., and 20 mins. c.ds, here is another one I've done. From Rush's nineteen c.ds, and albums of "Clockwork Angels" to "Rush", and the maximum two songs from each of them, the songs are in reverse chronological order, and at least, a song is represented, and not repeated to the other one I did. The second c.d. isn't completely filled, but if I included the song "2112", then it would be closer to that. For them, I didn't think of a title. C.d.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 So I made a list of my two favorite songs from each album, then I ordered it according from absolute favorite to absolute least favorite. It came out over 4 hours. So I trimmed it down to about 1 hour and 20 minutes... and it only has 9 songs. This isn't the order I would put them in on the CD, it's just my favorite to my least favorite: 1. Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage2. 21123. Xanadu4. Natural Science5. The Spirit Of Radio6. YYZ7. Tom Sawyer8. Clockwork Angels9. Marathon I think I'm gonna go with a 2CD format so I can include a bunch of other absolutely great songs I love. I will say though, every one of these songs is easily in my top 20 Rush songs of all time. 1-7 are all in my top 10! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
