whyareweherecuzwerehere Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I havent been seeing a lot of really smart or unbias lists for the top 50 greatest rush songs, so i decided to make one of my own. Its taken me about a week, but i finally finished. Its still a work in progress though and will probably be changed around some more in the future. Please enjoy and give feedback in the comments.

puffyshirt Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Don't agree with it at all (Natural Science didn't place??? Far Cry #1???) But hey, it's still a list of solid tunes! I can get behind that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 At first glance I would say I for one appreciate the effort you put in to this. Having said that, you have 3 of my all time favorites in your "honorable mention" category......... FYI, Presto and The Twilight Zone are not them....... I have found to be true around here (not a negative at all) that age and length of fandom has a great effect on these type's of list's. I frankly enjoy the differing opinion's and reason's for those differences.......... :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coventry Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 "Far Cry" and "Headlong Flight" are two recent tunes that should be in the Top Ten of any list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddyleegenes Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Interesting list, Whyarewe. I went ahead and worked up a list. We have about 25 or so of the same songs on our lists.

Segue Myles Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Want a track by track review? Here is a sample: Cinderella Man- I like it is catchy Xanadu- better than the movie Lists are fine. We have loads of threads to discuss individual songs. Look at those! This thread is simply a newcomers way to introduce himself. Poo you! Welcome Whyareweherecuzwerehere! Catchy name! I love that song! (Just have to declare my undying love towards tombstone mountain. He cracks me up like a crab and a hammer) Edited November 28, 2013 by Segue Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack jaw gaze Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I havent been seeing a lot of really smart or unbias lists for the top 50 greatest rush songs,It's not possible to make an unbiased list of subjective items. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'd take you guys up on this make a list thing, but I'd have to change it every four hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushBoingo Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Well I agree with number two, and your number six is my number five. I have never really thought beyond my top five though. 1. The Big Money2. The Spirit of Radio3. Xanadu4 Grand Designs5. Marathon I hope to get a general consensus soon for what order the songs go in over all of the Rush forum. I am going to make a post with all the song names asking everyone to copy, paste, and add a number rating, and then after a month or so compile all the submissions. I plan to post it by Sunday and give people the month of December to post their ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitboaf Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 That list is not opinion, by the way ;) Also, I listed Leave That Thing Alone twice. Beneath, Between & Behind should be in there instead, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
