I have to get this finished. It has felt like a task, something I have often thought of over the years, but here proposed as a challenge, and the last few weeks I was very busy.

To choose only two? Which songs say the most? Which stand out more than others? Listening to the albums, so many songs sound fantastic, but what did (Neil) choose to write about?

Geddy made if difficult because he makes almost everything sound great, and Alex can accent many phrases and so many songs do sound amazing, but I tried to select lyrics that stand out from typical rock song lyrics.

 

I would change many songs in an instant, believe me, but had to select only two. Like a "signal transmitted, message received", here is my list:

 

RUSH

 

Finding My Way; Take A Friend.

 

Fly By Night

 

Anthem; In The End

 

Caress Of Steel

 

Bastille Day; Lakeside Park

 

2112

 

Something For Nothing; The Twilight Zone

 

A Farewell To Kings

 

A Farewell To Kings; Closer To The Heart

 

Hemispheres

 

Circumstances; The Trees

 

Permanent Waves

 

The Spirit Of Radio; Freewill

 

Moving Pictures

 

Red Barchetta; Vital Signs

 

Signals

 

The Analogue Kid; Losing It

 

Grace Under Pressure

 

Red Sector A; The Body Electric

 

Power Windows

 

Manhattan Project; Middletown Dreams

 

Hold Your Fire

 

Time Stand Still; High Water

 

Presto

 

The Pass; Scars

 

Roll The Bones

 

Heresy; The Big Wheel

 

Counterparts

 

Nobody's hero; Everyday Glory

 

Test For Echo

 

Test For Echo; Virtuality

 

Vapor Trails

 

Sweet Miracle; How It Is

 

Snakes And Arrows

 

Far Cry; Good News First

 

Clockwork Angels

 

Headlong Flight; The Garden

 

END

 

Yup, strike me down! There are 38 other songs that probably should have made the cut. 72 more that were perhaps more deserving to be listed.

This time, I decided to do, and finish only one 1 hr., and 20 min. c.d., but I did an additional one similar to an EP.  From "Clockwork Angels" to "Rush", and the maximum two songs from each of them, the songs are in reverse chronological order, and a song is represented, and not repeated.

 

Headlong Flight

the Wreckers

the Larger Bowl (A Pantoum)

Workin' Them Angels

How It Is (Remix)

Sweet Miracle (Remix)

Half the World

the Color of Right

Everyday Glory

Between Sun & Moon

Ghost of A Chance

the Pass

Second Nature

Open Secrets

Middletown Dreams

Red Sector A

 

Subdivisions

Yyz

La Villa Strangiato (An Exercise In Self-Indulgence)

Circumstances

Entre Nous (Between Us)

A Farewell to Kings

Something For Nothing

Bastille Day

Fly By Night

Before and After
