Deckiller Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) I'm announcing the first and only revision to this list: "Middletown Dreams" is switching places with "Manhattan Project". My writeup for MD speaks for itself. Honestly, I'd probably put MD in the top 30 if I was doing this all over again. Overall, that's my only major mistake from the perspective of my own opinion; everything else is still within 5-6 places of where I'd put it otherwise. Again, I promised to myself that I'd only make one renig for the entire list. And looking at the remainder of the list, and after listening to each of these songs so many times, I'm confident in the rest of this thing. Very confident.

CMWriter Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm so happy to see Mission with a fairly small number. It's such a powerful, moving song. I've been lurking/watching this thread for some time now. It's always interesting to see others' tastes in Rush music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IChoseFreeWill Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I would have put Closer to the Heart in my Top 10. It is just so beautiful. And when played live, it goes to the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 The recording of Mission from Snakes And Arrows Live is one of my all-time favourite things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomboni Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It's just a list of the 30 songs that he hasn' t listed yet, we could have figured that out ourselves if we had the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That One Guy Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 While I am suprised you consider P/G "one of Rush's best albums" I have enjoyed all your reviews, and the best of best (in your opinion) are what's left. I liked your take on Cold Fire. I didn't really "get" that song when I first got Counterparts, but it grew on me. A lot of Rush ends up "growing" on me.

kookaluka Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Only ones I would have ranked as better songs. 79. By-Tor and the Snow Dog (30-40) 74. Something for Nothing (40-50) 65. A Passage to Bangkok (20-30) 61. Circumstances (30-40) 60. Cygnus X-1 (30-40) I hope Cygnus X-1's ranking is not an indication of Book 2's, which may be my all time favorite! Also pulling for Natural Science, Xanadu, and 2112 to make the top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckiller Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the comments, guys -- here are a few hints regarding the top 24: Number 23 is either Ghost of a Chance, Armor and Sword, Freewill, or Lock and Key. Number 14 is either Armor and Sword, Ghost of a Chance, Freewill, or Marathon. Number 10 is from Permanent Waves. Number 15 is from Moving Pictures. Number 19 is from Presto. Number 11 was recorded in the 1970s. Who wants to try and guess the top 24 in order? Edited February 11, 2011 by Deckiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
