GUP1771 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 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. ) 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastille Dave Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) 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. Edited May 21, 2011 by Bastille Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobW Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Currently... La Villa Strangiato (like the OP's #1 this never changes) Ghost Of A Chance Presto 2112 Resist (acoustic live) Emotion Detector Prime Mover The Way The Wind Blows Bravado Available Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRPJr Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Anthem Between The Wheels Bravado Different Strings Cygnus X-1 Here Again Natural Science The Camera Eye The Pass 2112 In no particular order........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinwoodsman Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) 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. 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 ) 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 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.

StellarJetman Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) 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.

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCM Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
