I thought I would do this.  When the usernames "LaughedAtByTime", and "Mosher" were posting theirs, and with "Hi_Water" that has been ongoing, I didn't want to start it at the same time, and during "L

Hey, I like "Here Again"!     "Something For Nothing" is underrated, and I wish they had brought it out of the vault to play more live, but maybe late-stage Geddy's voice couldn't have done

In the End, song #8/8, "Fly By Night (1975)"

Here Again, song #4/8, "Rush (1974)"

A Passage to Bangkok, song #2/6, "2112 (1976)"

 

In the End is a fantastic song and I love seeing it this high.

A Passage to Bangkok has a killer riff that anyone would love. But it's also just a song about traveling far and wide just to get high. So thematically it just isn't a top tier song for me as Rush goes. But it sounds great, and it's written very well considering how simple the subject is. I do like this song a lot. 

Here Again is a great song by that hard rockin' band called Rush that was around before the band I love was formed. (That's simply how I see that first album. I almost wouldn't even file those songs into a list.)
But whatever I'd like to tell myself, it really is Rush. Less complex musically, less adept lyrically, but the songs are still played by preeminent musicians and they sound great. For another band it would rank high. For Rush?  On the list I just made it's bottom five. On another day it might rise to the better half of the bottom 20. 

And to anyone who thinks my opinion matters- remember that I'm the guy who loves Anagram. So you already know I have poor taste. :)

To "Vapor Trails (Remixed)", from "How It Is" to "Out of the Cradle", I really like the second half of it, especially the last three songs of "Nocturne" to "Out of the Cradle".  From "Snakes & Arrows", I thought of "Workin' Them Angels", "the Larger Bowl (A Pantoum)", and "the Way the Wind Blows", but "Workin" Them Angels", and "the Larger Bowl (A Pantoum)" are tied as my third favorites.

Armor and Sword is good as Snakes goes, but there are dozens of better Rush songs in my opinion.

 

Nocturne, in the other hand, has climbed and climbed for me. It certainly isn't up in this range, but who knows what may come. I really continue to like this one more all the time.

That's my thoughts for Derek's list.  Really interesting picks as we approach the top, and as you said, he's listing songs that I've grown to like more and more over time.

 

Realky looking forward to each reveal at this point  :popcorn:

From "Clockwork Angels", "the Garden" is Rush's last studio song on their final studio c.d., and album.  I could've selected "the Anarchist", "Headlong Flight", or any other choice, but with "the Garden", I thought it should've, and would've been fitting by deserving, and belonging to have it in the top #20 to #25.

 

the Garden, song #12/12, "Clockwork Angels (2012)"

the Garden, song #12/12, "Clockwork Angels (2012)"

 

I love Clockwork Angels, and I have it near the top of all Rush albums. They hit the same theme as the Fountain, but they were so much more skilled by the time of Clockwork. And frankly they'd actually lived a good chunk of their lives by that point. 

The Garden for your purpose is an astute pick, and I can't argue with it considering your reasoning. 

For me there are many better songs off Clockwork, and I have the Anarchist in my top 5. But you're giving appropriate justice to a great album so I'm fine with this. I have it much lower, it doesn't hit me emotionally the way it hits so many here, but it is a beautiful song.

For me it is way too on-the-nose.  Neil's lyrics could be that way, and a many RUSH fans seem to like that approach.   It's not my cup of tea.

the Fountain of Lamneth, song #5/5, "Caress of Steel (1975)"

Working Man, song #8/8, "Rush (1974)"

 

YES!

Love for The Fountain. I had it 16th, myself.

Does it drag during Panacea? Oh yes it does. But other than that, I have always loved this song. 

Working Man successfully showed us the talent Alex and Geddy had, and if they had moved forward with John and only did hard rock I'd still like them. 

It's easily the best song off the first album.

But the lyrics are bad, and just filler to allow for maximum sonic workout. 

So it ranks really high for me- much higher than any other first album songs, but it's a first album song. So to me this is way too high.

I'm a Lamneth lover, too.  It took me a long time to appreciate it, as I leaned toward the shorter, harder stuff when I was young.  But it's aged very well for me, and I love its tone.  Working Man has always been a fav, for obvious reasons, and for me tge lyrics aren't bad, their simple, and there's a difference.  I find most of the Kings era stuff "bad", as in embarrassingly overwrought and trying way too hard to be smart.

 

On that note I think I'll go grab myself an ice cold beer.

I agree that Neil wasn't the writer he thought he was. I guess I felt inundated with those simple songs on the radio,  so anyone saying something else had huge appeal. 

 

And credit where it's due- the purpose of Working man was to generate pure fire. They did that!

"the Necromancer", is a "mythological sequel" to "By-Tor and the Snow Dog".  In the final section of "the Necromancer" called "Return of the Prince", who was inspired by the fictional character "Sauron" from "the Hobbit", and is the returning character of "By-Tor" from "By-Tor and the Snow Dog", but the character is a hero, and not a villain.  "By-Tor and the Snow Dog", is a good versus evil fantasy song originated from two dogs owned by, at the time, Rush's manager "Ray Danniels".

"the Necromancer", is a "mythological sequel" to "By-Tor and the Snow Dog".  In the final section of "the Necromancer" called "Return of the Prince", is the returning character of "By-Tor" from "By-Tor and the Snow Dog", but the character is a hero, and not a villain.  "By-Tor and the Snow Dog", is a good versus evil fantasy song originated from two dogs owned by Rush's manager "Ray Danniels".   

 

By-Tor and the Snow Dog, song #4/8, "Fly By Night (1975)"

the Necromancer, song #4/5, "Caress of Steel (1975)"

 

Both are great songs. I love the playful guitar duel in By-Tor. It's not a serious song, and it doesn't try to be. It's just fun. No big message, just an excuse to play their minds out. 

The Necromancer has some of Alex's best work. And for that reason it rises to heights it probably doesn't deserve. The spoken word parts offer diminished returns after several listens. But it's a fun romp retelling LOTR through the lens of Torontonians  (men of Willowdale). Again, not serious and no big message. 

These are fun songs that I'm happy to see up here.

To, and on "Counterparts", and "Test For Echo", I really like their last three songs from "Leave that Thing Alone" to "Everyday Glory", and "Resist" to "Carve Away the Stone".  From "Presto" to "Counterparts", I really like the first songs of "Show Don't Tell" to "Animate", too.  "Available Light", I like Geddy's singing, and playing keyboards.

 

Available Light, song #11/11, "Presto (1989)"

Show Don't Tell, song #1/11, "Presto (1989)"

Dreamline, song #1/10, "Roll the Bones (1991)"

To, and on "Counterparts", and "Test For Echo", I really like their last three songs from "Leave that Thing Alone" to "Everyday Glory", and "Resist" to "Carve Away the Stone".  From "Presto" to "Counterparts", I really like the first songs of "Show Don't Tell" to "Animate", too.  "Available Light", I like Geddy's singing, and playing keyboards.

 

Available Light, song #11/11, "Presto (1989)"

Show Don't Tell, song #1/11, "Presto (1989)"

Dreamline, song #1/10, "Roll the Bones (1991)"

Animate, song #1/11, "Counterparts (1993)"

Resist, song #9/11, "Test For Echo (1996)"

 

Show Don't Tell is a song I never connected with. I remember the excitement when the radio station was going to play that new release from Rush, and the disappointment. In retrospect it's an okay song, but I find it structurally awkward. That album improves as it goes- Chain Lightning I absolutely love. 

Available Light has risen over the years. It bored me initially, but now I appreciate the beautiful musicianship in that song. 

Dreamline was great the second it dropped and it still is. That album weakens as it plays on.

Animate hooked me immediately. It's never been a favorite, but I have always thought it was a very good song. 

Resist doesn't do for me what it does for so many others. It's a fine interlude with a nice sentiment, but I have it nowhere near this high.

These, to me, are all tracks that should be far lower (Dreamline maybe excepted), because there are so many better songs available. I do believe, once again, you've again hit a song I have re-evaluated positively over the years in Available Light. It might be higher next time I do this.

For the top ten, I'll do them one at a time.

 

Natural Science, song #6/6, "Permanent Waves (1980)"

Vital Signs, song #7/7, "Moving Pictures (1981)"

 

It's almost weird to me that Natural Science isn't a universal top ten, but you have it 11th so I can't complain. I have Vital Signs 13th, so we almost have it in the same spot. 

2 fantastic songs done justice. Great picks.

Show Don't Tell is a song I never connected with. I remember the excitement when the radio station was going to play that new release from Rush, and the disappointment. In retrospect it's an okay song, but I find it structurally awkward. That album improves as it goes- Chain Lightning I absolutely love. 

Available Light has risen over the years. It bored me initially, but now I appreciate the beautiful musicianship in that song. 

Dreamline was great the second it dropped and it still is. That album weakens as it plays on.
 

Again, you pretty much capture how I feel.  I do love seeing Presto songs getting a higher rating.  I really like the album
