Your Ultimate Rush Record Thread

Recommended Posts

OK.....you have got to build your ultimate Rush record using only 8 songs from their entire catalog. Solo records and Clockwork stuff included. What does your album look like and what is your running order? I'll get back to you with mine once I think laugh.gif

Xanadu

La Villa Strangiato

Natural Science

The Camera Eye

 

Spirit of Radio

Freewill

Limelight

YYZ

 

 

Hmmm... this is all from a four-album span (AFTK-MP). Wonder which phase of their career I like, hmm?

8 songs...that's a little too concentrated for me, so i'm going to cheat a little. i prefer to refer to much of the below as rush "moments" and not songs.

 

2112 complete- if i can't skip ahead a track on the disc; it's ONE song biggrin.gif

hemispheres- see above

anthem

working man from all the world's a stage

the camera eye

armor and sword

broon's bane/trees/xanadu from exit...stage left

lavilla from exit...stage left

I tried to put them in an order that would sound good when playing on a CD.

I really wouldn't want to mix and match eras so much, so I'd like to keep existing album sides and make them into something exceptional:

 

 

OPTION 1

 

Side 1:

 

Tom Sawyer

Red Barchetta

YYZ

Limelight

 

Side 2:

 

The Spirit of Radio

Freewill

Jacob's Ladder

 

 

 

OPTION 2

 

Side 1:

 

A Farewell to Kings

Xanadu

Closer to the Heart

 

Side 2:

 

Circumstances

The Trees

La Villa Strangiato

 

(ok I cheated a little by including CTTH from side 2 of AFTK, but WTF, ya know?)

Mine would be overloaded since it would include:

 

Side 1

2112

Xanadu

Natural Science

Cygnus X-1

 

Side 2

Hemispheres

The Enemy Within

Mission

Malignant Narcissism

 

(Edited because I changed my mind on one.)

Here are the tracks that I'd use. I'd come up with a better order, but it isn't worth the trouble when I'm already trying to figure out the order for a CD that I'm giving to a friend. Also, I tried to get a representative sampling, so, if the '70s seem rather marginalized, it's only because Rush has been around for a while.

 

"The Trees"

 

"La Villa Strangiato"

 

"Losing It"

 

"Middletown Dreams"

 

"Show, Don't Tell"

 

"Leave That Thing Alone"

 

"Ceiling Unlimited"

 

"Far Cry"

 

I was this close to putting "Limelight" on the list, but it would have meant getting rid of "The Trees".

Here goes...

Side 1:

Subdivisions

Analog Kid

Chemistry

Digital Man

 

Side 2:

The Weapon

New World Man

Losing It

Countdown

 

As far as just 8 songs, I think that works best.

Why does that look awfully familiar?
