Mr. Not Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 QUOTE (1dgbass @ Aug 30 2010, 03:17 PM) Honestly man, you should NOT be making a list like this. The way you put down some of these songs, it really is a travestiy. I looked at your profile and it says you play a little keyboard. I play bass and piano and I know how hard it it to play alot of these songs. I mean, Vital Signs at 99? Do you know how great the bass work is on that song? Rush work really hard at what they do and with a band like Rush you just can't have lists and ranks. All their songs are great. Us Rush Fanatics don't need people like you talking about this band like it's nothing. You describe these songs like "the chorus doesn't do it for me". No one cares about your meaningless opion. Don't get me wrong it's nice for you to dedicate alot of time to talking about this band, but do it in a good way. You will probably put "Tom Sawyer" and "Limelight" in the top ten, b/c they are the most commercially acceptable songs. Do yourself a favor and try playing your keyboards more. You'll relize how hard it is to actually play music instead of critizizing it. Don't take a top rush song list too seriously, especially from someone who likes a band as lame as Nightwish.

Deckiller Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Hints to future rankings... Here are some hints. My number 80 song is from Test for Echo. My number 70 song is a lengthy fan favorite that will surely get me gutted. My number 60 song is another lengthy fan favorite that was played partially on several recent tours. My number 85 song has a nice little bass solo that is elevated to epicness when performed live. My number 75 song might be a little...scary. My number 65 song can only be described with one expression: My number 50 song is just classic 90s. Any predictions?

sushi Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 I think what you are doing is really cool - Just 1 placement I really disagree with "Lakeside Park" Have you ever listened to this song off "All the world's a stage" there is allot of Band meaning to this song - Please listen to it again and move it up - Going to see Our 3 at the NY fair on thursday - Driving there from Virginia leaving tomorrow !!

Taking a few guesses on this one, but I am thinking... 80 = Half The World 70 = 2112 60 = Cygnus X-1 85 = Driven 75 = The Weapon 65 = A Passage To Bangkok 50 = Show Dont Tell BTW, don't take offense to what a small few have been saying. Even though I strongly disagree with a number of songs put on the low end of your list (I personally love Vapor Trails despite its poor production), I am still thoroughly enjoying this thread. It would actually be really interesting to see everyone's songs ranked in order of thier favorites to see how TRF as a whole feels about each song.

Deckiller Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Yeah, Nightwish is a great band. However, there's another band in a similar vein that contains my favorite singer. Her name is Floor Jansen, and her former band is After Forever. ANYWAY...back on topic. Hopefully more write-ups tonight! Got out of class early...

LERXST69 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Well, I have been following this. Can't agree to all, but WTF. The best way to over view this is with an......................... overview. Checking out your last "Story so far" list I see a lot of crap, and that's good!
