My Rush Song's List From 1-165

[Nova Carmina]

Two great songs in the latest added set; I'd have them inside the top 50, instead of just out, and I think "Grand Designs" holds up really well. "Afterimage" never fails to get to me.

How It Is is one of the songs I always loved off Vapor Trails (Along with Earthshine).

 

Sweet Miracle irritates me like many of the Vapor Trail songs. On the whole I like the music on that album. But Geddy just bugs me with his style choice 

[goose]

Two fantastic songs off Vapor Trails.  Both How It Is and Sweet Miracle beautifully capture aspects of the human condition without being pedantic. In its entirety,  I consider VT to be a spiritual and lyrical triumph for Neil.  He really was at his best on the album.

I agree lyrically for sure. He's on fire and sadly tragedy was likely why. 

 

I'm sure that's why over the years the parts that irritate have lessened 

[Derek19]

To me, "Half the World" hasn't been a bottom five to ten worst Rush song.  If some other people will do their Rush song's list, then it might, and or will be lower, than what I have it at.  To other, some other, and certain Rush songs, if they are figured out right, fairly, and correctly, the averages on the overall lists should work.

So this is all in fun -- and it has been fun reading your list -- and (as I've said before!) there's no way to be wrong about how one feels about a song, but this, this, Derek, is going too far! 

 

I . . . it's just that . . . I mean . . . uh . . . 

 

[Mosher]

Now we're getting to the songs that unfairly reduced better songs to ashes.

 

Although I will confess that I love Color of Right, it has grown on me phenomenally, Half the World is just not good as Rush goes.

 

And regardless, neither are anywhere near this good.  

 

But I remain happy to see some love for Color of Right

For people, who are living anywhere in Canada, and this weekend celebrating it, I took the time to wish a "Happy Thanksgiving 2023".  This goes out to you, too, Mosher.

Two songs that should be far behind so many now discarded.

I like Nobody's Hero much more, it was an immediate favorite when released. It's fallen quite a bit for me, though.

Out of the Cradle, song #13/13, "Vapor Trails (2002)", and "Vapor Trails (Remixed) (2013)"

 

Two very good songs and one bottom 20 song.

Out of the Cradle is annoying.

The other two are in the 60-90 range. Which means I like them a lot. Carve used to be even higher.

I like Out of the Cradle.  The other two would be cellar dwellers on my list.

[Mosher]

I like Bravado better than the Pass. I do like them both, but I have neither no where near this high.

 

As Rush very very rarely ever curses, the use of 'Christ' in the Pass is the best part of that song. Another band it wouldn't be as effective, but for Rush the gravity really is felt in full force. So emotionally it has a resonant impact.

 

Both songs make their emotional appeal work well, but neither are musically what I want from Rush. 

 

Great songs, but on my Rush list not top 50 material

[Derek19]

With "BU2B2", and "Wish Them Well", I did this combined by keeping them together because "BU2B2" is, and has been an interlude, and a song before "Wish Them Well".  They are both after each other because it is part of the whole, full concept story.  If any of you want to think, and say that this is a surprise, or another surprise entry, then do it.  Mosher, you have "the Pass" at #104, and "Bravado" at #119.  Without naming any usernames, I'm not changing my way of thinking because one, or two people don't, and haven't liked where only one, or two Rush songs is, or are placed on a Rush song's list.  They don't like the list, then it's their loss, problem, and issue.  I'll have more to say about the remaining songs on my list, too. 

 

BU2B2/Wish Them Well, song #10, and 11 "Clockwork Angels (2012)"

With "BU2B2", and "Wish Them Well", this is the combination I did by keeping them together because "BU2B2" is, and has been an interlude, and a song before "Wish Them Well".  They both are after each other because it is part of the whole, full concept story.  If any of you want to think, and say that this is a surprise, or another surprise entry, then do it.  Mosher, you have "the Pass" at #104, and "Bravado" at #119.  Without naming any usernames, I'm not changing my way of thinking because one, or two people don't, and haven't liked where only one, or two Rush songs is, or are placed on a Rush song's list.  Don't like the list, then it's their loss, problem, and issue.  I'll have more to say about the remaining songs on my list, too.

I am enjoying your lists.

 

I have zero interest in you changing your list to fit anyone else.

 

If your list was like mine I wouldn't be reading it at all, there's be no point.

 

I enjoy the different perspective.

 

I comment primarily because I want you to keep posting, and not many people are commenting.

 

I'm commenting with my honest opinion because anything else would be pointless.

 

Anytime I say you're "too low" or "too high"- that's hyperbole. There can be no objective ranking so there can be no "too low or too high".

 

My comments on Bu2B2, much earlier in this thread, specifically mention that I suspect you are combining it with another song. I'm just surprised you didn't reduce your list to 164 after combing them.

[Derek19]

I said to two particular usernames of not saying anything because they did a lot of that on "LaughedAtByTime's", and "Hi_Water's" Rush song's lists.  Mosher, I haven't included, and wasn't including you because with "LaughedAtByTime's" list, it was mostly your Rush song's list.  If you weren't posting, then I still would be.  Here is "Second Nature" making an appearance.  One, and or another song one, or more, than one person, who seems to want it a lot further down on any list.

Second Nature, song #4/10, "Hold Your Fire (1987)"

Open Secrets, song #3/10, "Hold Your Fire (1987)"

 

I actually did a disservice to Second Nature. It's in my bottom 10, and of course my rankings change daily anyway, but I like it better than several songs I have below it. It probably should be 10-15 spots higher. 

That's nowhere near where you have it, but it's not as bad as I implied. I'm mostly using that song because I know it's essentially dead last for our list-interested moderator. 

Open Secrets also is no favorite of mine.

However those other songs I like a lot. 
Subdivisions was the first Rush song (I think, anyway) that I memorized. Maybe it was Closer to the Heart, but still. Important song and my favorite at one time in my life. 

We're getting into the top tier now, looking forward to it!

I've always liked Second Nature's sentiment, and the use of the line "I thought we might get closer".  Red Sector A has really grown on me, especially after seeing it live.  I've always liked it, but it's moved up even higher in my rankings.  Subdivisions is one of the band's best.  Pretty sure I'd have it at least top 20.

 

Hold Your Fire overall hasn't aged well for me.  I really liked it on release, but with each decade its sound has grown less interesting.

Middletown Dreams, song #6/8, "Power Windows (1985)"

Mystic Rhythms, song #8/8, "Power Windows (1985)"

 

This list is all over the place, but it's about time somebody showed some recognition to "Kid Gloves" and "Mystic Rhythms"! Both great songs; one upbeat and propulsive, the other dreamy and meditative -- mid-80s classic gold. I even like "Middletown Dreams"! Good grouping this time.

Mystic Rhythms, song #8/8, "Power Windows (1985)"

 

I love all of these songs. And clearly, so do you. 

I have Kid Gloves highest of these- 5th overall in fact. While my rankings do fluctuate, it's always top ten for sure. 

I currently have Digital Man next highest of these. 

At one time Mystic was highest of all four, but that was a long time ago. It's lowest now. Probably my own fault for overplaying it when I was young. 

Of the four, Digital Man and Middletown Dreams benefit most from time served, they've climbed very high over the years. 

Kid Gloves has always been very high- it's changed the least over time.
