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....... :no: 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:

Interesting list, Whyarewe. I went ahead and worked up a list. We have about 25 or so of the same songs on our lists. Now, for some reason, this forum doesn't let me write with paragraphs any more, so this list is going to go sideways. Starting right here: ----- 50. Anthem - - - - - 49. Natural Science - - - - - 48. Driven - - - - - 47. Dreamline - - - - - 46. Test For Echo - - - - - 45. Finding My Way - - - - - 44. What You're Doing - - - - - 43. One Little Victory - - - - - 42. Witch Hunt - - - - - 41. In The Mood - - - - - 40. Beneath, Between and Behind - - - - - 39. The Analog Kid - - - - - 38. Workin' Them Angels - - - - - 37. Jacob's Ladder - - - - -36. Lessons - - - - -35. Working Man - - - - -34. Making Memories - - - - - 33. Turn The Page - - - - - 32. I Think I'm Going Bald - - - - - 31. Superconductor - - - - - 30. Before and After - - - - - 29.

Cut To The Chase - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you actually read this, thanks for your time. It's pretty irritating not being able to start a new paragraph. No idea why this has been happening. Doesn't happen on any other forum I post in.

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!

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 Money

2. The Spirit of Radio

3. Xanadu

4 Grand Designs

5. 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.
