theredtamasrule Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 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 Mission High Water The Pass Ghost of a Chance Between Sun & Moon Alien Shore Test 4 Echo Earthshine Far Cry Armour & Sword Workin' Them Angels The Main Monkey Business The Way The Wind Blows Caravan BU2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckiller Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) I think you're gonna both love and hate my list! One or two of those songs are coming up before 100, but a few are also in my top 10. Edited August 28, 2010 by Deckiller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow dog isn't my number one pet Honestly, I initially had it at like 110th, but I dropped it down to a more realistic number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
