Signals

 

According to number of plays in my iTunes, it goes like this:

 

Subdivisions

New World Man

Analog Kid

Chemistry

Losing It

Countdown

Digital Man

The Weapon

 

But in reality, I rank them in this order:

 

Analog Kid

Subdivisions

New World Man

Chemistry

Digital Man

Losing It

Countdown

The Weapon

 

Every song on this album ranks among my favorites, and each song is essential, IMHO. The Analog Kid is not light years ahead of The Weapon. This is just how I rank them for the sake of contributing to the thread. I love this album!

I can't do it because I can't decide which Rush album is my favorite!
Somebody pick one for me!

 

You asked for it......so I'll make it tough. Hold Your Fire

3. Force Ten

4. Turn the Page

5. Open Secrets

6. Prime Mover

While it's not my most favorite, I'll rank an album that I really enjoy and that I don't expect to be commonly used here.

 

 

1. Vapor Trail

2. Freeze

3. Ghost Rider

4. Peaceable Kingdom

5. Sweet Miracle

6. One Little Victory

7. Earthshine

8. Nocturne

9. How It Is

10. The Stars Look Down

11. Ceiling Unlimited

12. Secret Touch

13. Out of the Cradle

 

 

This was tough for me because I really like a lot of these songs, but at about an equal level, with no clear standouts.

when Countdown makes the cut, it kinda sounds silly to have Signals be your favorite Rush album. There is just better out there

I could believe that your list:

 

1. Is in reverse order

 

2. Is randomly generated

 

3. Is in the proper order

 

It's just such a weird list for me. For the others, even when I don't agree, I understand. But I understand your issue with the album. I also really like it but have only 3-4 songs which I think of as clearly better than the rest, and only 2-3 which I see as clearly worse than the others. Needless to say, none of those match up with your list smile.gif

I'll do Vapor Trails too. Love this album! A lot of these songs are equal in quality for me, so I'm going to do this in Tiers:

 

How It Is - Tier 1

Secret Touch- Tier 2

Freeze

Vapor Trail

Ghost Rider

Earthshine-Tier 3

Ceiling Unlimited-Tier 4

Out Of The Cradle

Nocturne

The Stars Look Down-Tier 5

Peaceable Kingdom

One Little Victory- Tier 6

Sweet Miracle

 

How It Is just runs away with the top spot for me, which is weird because a ton of people just crap on that song. I love it. wub.gif

 

Tier 6 was very easy. OLV is just too repetitive for me. If it was half it's length, it would be in the Tier 2 easy. SM is just not a very good song to me.

 

So many good songs on here.
