Top Ten Songs in Your Rush Playlist

Recommended Posts

Very simple, and perhaps a fun thread that can provide an insight as to what your current preference is when listening to Rush. Basically, all you need to do is share with everyone what your current top ten tunes are in your Rush playlist. If you happen to change around your list, post again and update us on the preference change.

 

So, I'll start:

 

1. The Enemy Within (Has remained at #1 since I discovered this gem back on 11/3/10. biggrin.gif)

2. Middletown Dreams

3. The Pass

4. Caravan

5. Natural Science

6. YYZ

7. Cold Fire

8. Subdivisions

9. Available Light

10. Cygnus X-1: Book Two - Hemispheres

do you mean playlist as in like on an iPod? I have a 1/2 gig mp3 player with Rush s/t to PoW. I no longer have the computer that it was ripped from so I dont know what songs I've played more than others. I have most of those albums on vinyl now so the ones I don't have on vinyl are probably the ones I play the most.

 

My Ipod has HYF up to S&A and parts of or whole boolegs of about 100 boots from '75 to the mid 90's. The most played is probably the "5th Order Of The Angels", "Tuscan '78", or the "Anehiem 1981" shows. Most played songs: Hemispheres Book II, La Villa Strangiato, Anthem, Passage To Bankok, YYZ (with drum solo). You get the idea.

 

Most played ever......CD, LP, or MP3: MP and Hemispheres, my go-to Rush albums.

I'm one that often listens to Rush tunes in chronological order rather than favorite song first, and so on...

 

 

Today it would be:

 

By-Tor and the Snow Dog

2112

Cygnus X-1

Cygnus X-1 Book II- Hemispheres

Circumstances

La Villa Strangiato (always #1 on my favorite list)

The Spirit of Radio

Freewill

Jacob's Ladder

Natural Science

Hmm, now you have me curious ...

 

I only have those stats on the iPod. It was a gift from my children 4.5 years ago, so out of curiosity sake and inspired by this thread, I took a look. icon_really_happy_guy.gif

 

My computer has a complete Rush discography except for bootlegs and DVD's, so I have no idea what that exact count is ... this might be a better reference of what I liked to listen to at work.

 

 

1 Mission

2 Freewill

3 Limelight

4 The Body Electric

5 Marathon

6 Force Ten

7 Ghost Of A Chance

8 Fly By Night

9 I Think I'm Going Bald (hardly tongue.gif )

10 Tom Sawyer

11 The Spirit Of Radio

12 New World Man

13 Far Cry

14 Xanadu

15 Circumstances

16 Anthem

17 The Trees

18 RTB

19 Finding My Way

20 TFOL

21 Cold Fire

22 Working Them Angels

23 The Way The Wind Blows

24 Earthshine

25 The Larger Bowl

 

 

... by this I can determine that Rush needs to get the new album done as I played the heck outa S&A laugh.gif

 

One song that is conspicuous by its absence is 2112/TTOS ... I have so many versions of it, if I added the plays all up, it would be in the top 10 for sure.

 

There are 286 Rush songs on the Pod, about 27 hours worth.

I actually have a playlist of my top ten Rush songs, so this is easy:

 

1. "Limelight"

 

2. "Natural Science"

 

3. "The Trees"

 

4. "La Villa Strangiato"

 

5. "2112"

 

6. "Leave That Thing Alone"

 

7. "Cold Fire"

 

8. "The Pass"

 

9. "Middletown Dreams"

 

10. "Losing It"

 

They're ordered as they are in the list, not by preference.

For whatever it's worth, the Rush songs I listen to on iTunes are the ones you never hear on the radio, thus they do not necessarily reflect my favorite Rush song list....like Limelight is my favorite tune but it is on the radio all the time so I dont feel a need to listen to it on the iPod

 

Here is how it looks:

 

Kid Gloves

Jacob's Ladder

Double Agent

Animate

Leave that thing Alone

Earthshine

Far Cry

The Way the Wind Blows

Natural Science

Hemispheres

According to my iTunes:

 

Caravan 112 plays

BU2B 111 plays

The Camera Eye 74 plays

Limelight 64 plays

Red Barchetta 59 plays

Witch Hunt 59

Time Stand Still 56 plays

Subdivisions 55 plays

Freewill 34 plays

Marathon 30 plays

Cold Fire 29

 

An odd grouping, but I've only been using iTunes for about a year so it might not be an accurate picture.. ( even stranger is that between Rush and Lawrence Gowan you have to go almost seventy songs into the "top played" before you get to an artist not from Canada)

I have a 16GB MP3 player for listening while riding my motorcycle and since I have the entire Rush catalogue, I put everything I liked by the band in my "Rush" folder. That's roughly 75% of their studio output as well as the ATWAS and the DS live stuff and several live boots of shows I've attended.
