USB Connector Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) So these "song challenges" have been popular on facebook for a little while. In anticipation for the concert, a bunch of us drafted our own version for use as a countdown to the concert. We call it "The Countdown to April 21 - 12 Day Rush Challenge" so we could get the 2112 pun (it just so happened to be our concert date). I figured I'd post this up early so word could get around about this thread and everyone could have a chance to partake in it. I thought I should share it so anyone can partake in it for their own concert date (tour opener countdown starts March 19th). Feel free to post all of them in one go at any given time or actually make it a countdown to your concert venue. Here's what we came up with. day 01 - Favourite Album day 02 - Least Favourite Album day 03 - a song that reminds you of someone OR a certain event day 04 - Favourite Epic day 05 - The album you listen to the most day 06 - The first Rush song you heard day 07 - a song that you can play on an instrument OR the first album you owned day 08 - a song that you wish you could play on an instrument day 09 - a song that you know all the words to day 10 - a song that you used to hate but now love day 11 - your favorite song day 12 - Favourite Song from Moving Pictures Edited March 20, 2011 by usb_connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Favorite Album-Hemispheres Least Favorite-Feedback (if it doesn't count, then rush) A song reminding me of someone-bravado, virtuality, ghost of a chance Favorite epic-hemispheres Album I listen to most-equal almost, but I would have to say different stages because I sleep to bravado on repeat often and I also write while listening to it First song I heard-most likely Tom Sawyer Play on an instrument-some of yyz, lvs, all of the pass, bravado, armor and sword, and I haven't given others a shot yet. Songs i wish I could play-well the bass solo in lvs Songs I know all the words to-a lot, but limelight was the first I learned and shortly after bravado. When I get bored I write the lyrics for bravado Songs I used to hate but now love-never hated one, but i don't think I ever gave virtuality the attention it deserved and now I'm very fond of it. Favorite song-bravado Favorite from moving pictures-either vital signs or tce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarJetman Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Tarkus406 @ Mar 19 2011, 08:52 PM)8: Yours is No Disgrace I'm pretty sure that usb connector didn't have Yes in mind when he started this thread. Anyway... Hemispheres and Presto are tied as my two favorite albums, with Power Windows in second place. Roll the Bones is my least-favorite album. Bleugh. "Leave That Thing Alone" reminds me the most strongly of a person or event, assuming that you're restricting this to personal experience. My favorite epic would be either "2112" or "Natural Science". Presto is the album that I listen to the most frequently. "Leave That Thing Alone" is the first Rush song that I heard. I can play pretty much any tune that I want to on the piano, so I'll go with the first album that I owned: Hold Your Fire. I wish that I could play "2112" on the cello. I know all of the words to "The Pass", along with a few others. I can't think of any Rush songs that won me over after a bad first impression. Rush's output is too prolific and diverse for me to pick a single favorite song from it. Moving Pictures, on the other hand, is a single album; "Limelight" is my favorite song from it.
