circumstantial tree Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 To be clear about this, even if you love every song on an album there will always be one at the bottom of the list. List yours by studio album: For me, I left out Feedback because it's not original Rush material, plus I only played it once or twice.

laughedatbytime Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Fun idea...my son and I took a long car trip last weekend and did this very thing, putting it in the context of March Madness (with 19 albums it was incredibly difficult to keep track of without writing it down). Anyway, I'll go with: Need Some LoveMaking MemoriesITIGBThe Twilight ZoneMadrigal (there are NO bad songs on AFTK, Hemi, PeW, and MP, and it killed me to have to pick one)The TreesDifferent StringsTom SawyerChemistryRed LensesTerritoriesTai ShanScarsHeresyStick It OutHalf the WorldPeaceable KingdomThe Way the Wind BlowsBU2B2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the spirit of March Madness I'll do the playoffs...first I need to give first round byes to all albums other than the six between AFTK and p/g. Then I'll face off most recent vs earliest. We'll do worst of the worst.

I will trust your judgement on the late 80's and 90's stuff as well..... :)Best I Can is great...I love when Geddy refers to himself as an "impatient cat" and writes "save me the speeches cause they're oh so droll". This list is kind of unfair in a way...any song from AFTK through MP is better than virtually any song (with only a handful of exceptions) from at least HYF through and including S&A. The worst songs on Hemi and MP are top 25 and 40 respectively, in my book while Presto, HYF, RTB, CP, and TFE (and S&A) barely have any songs that even make my top 100.
