Mr. Not Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 List them. Should be a fun and challenging exercise for certain albums, whether it be having to eliminate such a good song, or having too many crappy songs to choose from. I think we'll have a lot of agreements in this thread too, so that should be cool as well.

SlyJeff Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I like part where the first list has two songs (Finding My Way and Red Tide) that were on my "pick a favorite song from each album" list. Edit: errr I suck at reading. For some reason I saw "Red Lenses" and thought it was "Red Tide" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Change my least favorite from PoW to Mystic Rhythms, that one slipped my mind when I was making my list, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VarianStar Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Rush: "In The Mood" Fly By Night: "By-Tor And The Snow Dog" Caress Of Steel: "I Think I'm Going Bald" 2112: "The Twilight Zone" A Farewell To Kings: "Madrigal" (Not really a bad song on here, but I have to pick one) Hemispheres: "The Trees" (Same as AFTK, not one bad song. I just listen to this one the least) Permanent Waves: "Different Strings" Moving Pictures: "Tom Sawyer" Signals: "Countdown" (I found this very hard which was surprising. I think I'm rediscovering this album, lately it sounds really good) Grace Under Pressure: "Red Lenses" Power Windows: "Mystic Rhythms" Hold Your Fire: "Turn The Page" Presto: "Hand Over Fist" Roll The Bones: "Face Up" Counterparts: "Stick It Out" (Not an easy choice) Test For Echo: "Virtuality" Vapor Trails: "Nocturne" (This was the hardest album to choose from for me) Snakes & Arrows: "Spindrift" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 As much as I love threads like that, I hate to give record companies ideas for YET another Rush compilation, so I won't participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like their one weakness. Also keep in mind these are LEAST FAVORITES, I'm not calling them bad songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Wow! Three people picked Lakeside Park which is the best song on Caress. Amazing... And there's a lot of people choosing Here Again - that's an underrated classic if ever there was one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's a lot of people choosing Here Again - that's an underrated classic if ever there was one.. True...well, to be fair...there are tons of songs on here that I see people listing that I feel are the best on their respective albums. With that said, I did choose Lakeside Park, but for no other reason than the fact that it seems to be one I don't listen to as often. Still a great tune! Also...agreed 100% on Here Again. Just an awesome song...and one of my favourites from the debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
