My Rush Song's List From 1-165

[Nova Carmina]

You and I must be ranking these things . . . on different strings! That one's got to be top 80, minimally. The others seem justly placed for this set.

Okay, I'll click more likes, but I can't promise to like more rankings with "BB&B" so low! Although if you switch it with "Anthem," that seems more just. These latest choices feel appropriate.

115. Anthem, song #1/8 - my entry #4/8, "Fly By Night (1975)"

116. Chain Lightning, song #2/11 - my entry #7/11, "Presto (1989)"

119. Virtuality, song #8/11 - my entry #9/11, "Test For Echo (1996)"

 

Anthem for me is down the list for FBN. BB&B is far superior, I love that song. But as Anthem is the classic I imagine most forum folk have Anthem much higher, so you and I are fairly close in that sense on Anthem.

Chain Lightning is by far my favorite song off Presto. That song was written by Neil inspired by watching sun dogs with his daughter, and as a father that song has always resonated with me. 

Superconductor I don't think much of. Musically it's okay, but I am no fan of the chorus. 

Cold Fire is very nice musically, and it features the wordplay Neil was really into during this time (like Anagram and Face Up among others.) But for some reason it jumps around a lot in my rankings. It moves up and down more than most songs. So I guess this is a good spot for it. 

Virtuality is an odd one for me. Usually what drops a song quickest for me is when Geddy chooses a singing style I dislike (S&A, VT are the major culprits.). This one is elevated by Geddy's singing. Not a great song and the lyrics are dated, but it's nice to listen to. I'm fine with this ranking. 

Keep 'em coming!

For trying to make the list even better, they've been movements.  "Grace Under Pressure", and "Power Windows" are, and have been amazing, and awesome c.ds, and albums.  Even "Red Lenses", and "Emotion Detector" are stand outs.  "War Paint", and "Scars" can change, and switch positions, too.

Scars, song #5/11, "Presto (1989)"

War Paint, song #4/11, "Presto (1989)"

Emotion Detector, song #7/8, "Power Windows (1985)"

Red Lenses, song #7/8, "Grace Under Pressure (1984)"

 

 

Scars is a song that I have mixed feelings on. I love the music, a very interesting departure that in my opinion works. But  then the chorus shifts away from that and back into 80's special effects. It's a bit heavy handed as well. But musically it's solid and the point is a good one. 

War Paint is a very good song that is a bit "after school special" in its outro. But even so I enjoy it. 

So both of these Presto songs can rise and fall for me dramatically on any given day depending on how I focus on them.

Emotion Detector is in a good spot. That's a top notch album. This may be the weakest song, but it's still great.

Red Lenses you have way too high. I just can't get past some of the lyrical presentation. Forced rhymes to accompany an excellent funky sound. People who love it point to the music. Unfortunately for me the lyrics and the lyrical presentation drop it quite far for me. 

[Nova Carmina]

So you're changing the rankings as you go? That makes it doubly hard to keep track of what's where! I am glad to see "Emotion Detector" get promoted seven spots, but it's still too low! I'll check back in tomorrow -- maybe it'll be in the top 100!

The Analog Kid is WAY too low. All are good songs, but of these I'd put Time and Motion lowest I think. You're top 100 is coming soon, I have a very strong feeling you've got songs up there far too high based on how many great songs didn't make your top 100.

102. Time Stand Still, song #2/10 - my entry #7/10, "Hold Your Fire (1987)"

 

 

Prime Mover for me is a top 5 song. I may be rare in that assessment, but clearly to me you have that song far too low. 
Territories similarly is top 20 for me, possibly top 10. Again, for me, you have this far too low. 
Vapor Trail I like more each time, but this spot is fine for me. 
Same for Test for Echo.
Presto is a great song, without flaw, but in a style that as Rush goes will never lift it terribly high, so you have it well placed. 

Roll the Bones is a song that is diminished by the rap. I like rap- I have favorite artists in the genre and I listen frequently. I think Rush's version fails. The humor has diminished returns, of course. But more importantly it sounds like they were writing in someone else's voice. Using slang that isn't theirs in a misguided effort to be current. As humor that might work, but then the humor is a mistake, distracting from the song. If serious, it's worse. It's just a total mistake. I took it as humor. So those returns are gone for me now, diminished to nothing and hurting the song. Because it has good parts, your rating is probably about right. 

Losing It is my favorite Rush 'slow' song. During the period of Neil's overall best writing. Their musical experimentation pays off here as well, unlike in Roll. Should be higher. 

Time Stand Still is another strong lyrical song. Neil's brush was wearing thin on this album, but he still had (like every album) some strong work. This one is strong. It's poppy, but it's very good. Should be higher. 

I'm getting the impression I'm going to be feeling a lot of your true favorites are way too high. 

I love your list, it helps prove the band's diversity in writing is a strength, with some great work for everyone.

I can only say that doing the Clockwork songs here, when you've already eliminated a few, can only mean you have Clockwork too low.

 

 

The Anarchist, for example, is a top ten song.

[Nova Carmina]

Ah, the Clockwork chunk -- seems too low! IMHO, they went out strong, with their best album in years.

[goose]

I'm curious to see what Derek will serve up as his top songs.  As y'all have noted, there are some very strong songs that missed the top 100

Stick it Out is a bottom five song. This is way too high. I just don't like this one at all. :)

 

Driven, on the other hand, is a good song. I have it a lot higher, but I'm fine with it here.

If you like those instrumentals the same, you should group them together. Totally fair choice! 

 

I think Rush never wrote a bad instrumental, but I definitely like some of these more than others. I like both Snakes songs listed here better than the others, followed by the RtB work, and then between the last two I'm with you- they're close together.

"Limbo" is the weak sister in the Instrumental Category, but the others are all borderline great.

 

"Stick It Out," though, I dunno . . .
