CygnusGal Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 For me: Rivendell (I heard they fell asleep while recordi... :zzz: )Chemistry (but it has great songs on either side of it)Lock and Key (boring to, and into, my ear)Carve Away The Stone (this song really doesn't go anywhere)Test For Echo (Rush at one of their lyrical low points) Your mileage may vary.

For some reason Lessons has always struck a cord with me since I first heard it till today. There's just something about the melody, the message and the layering of the vocals that get's to me each and every time I hear it. I guess for most it's sort of a B side throw away song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Most forgettable songs? Power Windows, minus Mystic Rhythms. I don't get how this is some fans favourite album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analog guy Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Most forgettable songs? Power Windows, minus Mystic Rhythms. I don't get how this is some fans favourite album. Yeah, it's funny how the keyboard era is despised, and this album is so loved at the same time, because this is probably the most overproduced album they ever released. I don't hate it, but I could have done without 62.5% of it being played on the last tour, especially since "Middletown Dreams" wasn't played the night I went. That's the only one of the five I really wanted to hear. Edited October 19, 2013 by analog guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even have a chance to forget these. I have never heard of any of those and I think one of them was a Groucho Marx television show way back in the olden day's. Shame on me.

It get's to me even more since being a parent for so long. Anyway I'm not sure where "there" is, but I have my own ideas about that one. :ebert: Edited October 20, 2013 by Narpet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBoingo Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I would say the most forgettable is The Speed of Love, and others to note are Anagram (for Mongo), Heresy, Carve Away the Stone, Chemistry, Afterimage, Freewill (To an EXTREMELY minor extent), Tears, A good chunk of Rush (the not played since the 70s ones), Snakes and Arrows (last 4 vocal songs), and Vapor Trails (songs 4-6, 10, and 13 though I only recently picked up this one so they still have some space to grow) and Feeback (tracks 5-7). For a while Halo Effect and High water was on that list too. So that leaves Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, Clockwork Angels, A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres (not hard to forget 4 songs), and Moving Pictures (hard not to forget these ones) as unforgettable in my books. Now I do like these songs to some extent, they just leave less of an impression on me. Songs that are in my bottom five, and songs that have been overplayed are entirely different lists that I will get to at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hey, now I remember! My answer is.. that I can't forget any Rush song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack jaw gaze Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I don't get how this is some fans favourite album.It's clearly one of the band's favorites based on setlists, and Geddy has specifically cited it as one of his favorites. Since it was so emphasized in the tour, it caused me to focus a little more on it, which really raised my appreciation for it. The live versions of Marathon, The Big Money and Mystic Rhythms elevate the studio versions IMO, so I'm anxious to see the live versions from the current tour. Territories and Grand Designs are very underrated songs IMO. It's gone from middle of the pack to a top 5 album for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I never listen to the first album. I just don't like what the guys produced without Neil.

Disk98 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The GardenThe GardenThe GardenThe GardenThe GardenUmm…not a fan of The Garden, I presume? Anyway, my top 5: 5. Animate — Decent but the melody repeats itself too much. Not a fav of mine. 4. The Twilight Zone — Yuck. Just a messy acoustic riff. Good lyrics and good solo, but the chorus ruins it for me. 3. Hope — Kinda boring. I like the main pattern, but again it's repeated too long. 2. Leave That Thing Alone — Same issue. 1. Hand Over Fist — Utterly boring. Enough said.
