My song rankings

Recommended Posts

Deckiller's thread spurred me to take a look at Rush's songs and give 'em a ranking. So I made a quick spreadsheet and ran down each song giving it a score (from 1 - 10, 10 being the best). Interestingly this is the largest group with the same score. Here is a list of the songs that received a 10, I think from youngest to oldest:

 

Anthem

By Tor

2112

A Farewell to Kings

Xanadu

Hemispheres

Circumstances

The Trees

La Villa Strangiato

Spirit of Radio

Freewill

Jacob's Ladder

Entre Nous

Different Strings

Natural Science

Tom Sawyer

Red Barchetta

YYZ

The Camera Eye

Witch Hunt

Vital Signs

Distant Early Warning

Afterimage

Kid Gloves

Red Lenses

Between The Wheels

The Big Money

Marathon

Middletown Dreams

Mystic Rythyms

Time Stand Still

Open Secrets

Prime Mover

Lock and Key

Ghost of a Chance
