Silas Lang Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 QUOTE (hughes&kettner @ Jan 19 2011, 11:30 AM)deckiller is NOT qualified to continue this list. if you put the camera eye anywhere outside of the top 10, you should have all rush privileges revoked. too long? that was the #1 song fans wanted to hear before the time machine tour... what about xanadu? 2112? are they too long? christ all friday! With this one and Jacob's Ladder he really blew it...badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckiller Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'll have more coming tomorrow, most likely. 50 more to go! 40-50 doesn't really have any shockers in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i'm going bald Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Out of interest I made a list of my top fifty Rush songs... of which 30 made it to the top 50 of this list. Could have been worse ! This thread makes for very interesting reading and debate. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Just the Candle Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Do you guys realize he is actually putting Available Light as better than over 100 other rush songs? I can't even sit through that entire song without being completely bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranking songs is striclty personal to the poster's opinion. Agree with or not, it is all a subject to interpretation. Me, I don't mind Available light.

ColdFireYYZ Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I like Available Light. Its one of the better songs on Presto imo, and is one of Geddy's best songs vocally. imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scars Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Available Light is in my top 5 Rush songs, sheesh people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is Just the Candle Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Ok, it's not a terrible song, but I would not ever put it in the top 50, maybe not even top 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think Available Light is a very good song, one of the two or three best on Presto and one of the better songs between '89-'96. I'm not sure about it being top 50, but it certainly belongs in the 50-100 range which isn't bad at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Just went through the 22 pages of this thread so far Deci.... not the list I would have made, but everyone has their own opinions... ... enjoying reading the writeups though.. I will comment however, maybe it's because you say you play keyboards, but I am seeing a bias towards the synth era.... nothing wrong with that if it's what you enjoy the most, but I looked at a post where how many songs are left from each album and statistically most of the synth era is going to wind up in your top 50..... I much prefer the prog era, and the modern era to the synth era, and I'd imagine my list would reflect that, If I ever made one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
