My Top 25—What's Yours?

**Tombstone Mountain** · July 23, 2014

The top ten:

Xanadu - 26 :wub:
La Villa Strangiato - 23
2112 - 20
Natural Science - 18
Red Barchetta - 18
Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres - 15
Headlong Flight - 14
The Spirit Of Radio - 13
Witch Hunt - 13
Cygnus X-1 Bk I: The Voyage - 12

Heh, all of those besides Red Barchetta were on my list. And I'm not sure why RB wasn't there -- probably because the list was so hard to make!

Cygnus 1 & 2, TSOR, and Natty Science didn't make mine. Amazed how Tom Sawyer got no love

Well, when you're a hardcore Rush fan, you don't like Tom Sawyer... at ALL. (maybe a little)

I don't think the hardcore RUSH fan doesn't like TS it's just that its a given and for me I run from it to more obscure songs. The casual fans run to hear it I think (theyll say thats RUSH as if theres nothing else to the band). Now don't get me wrong it's a great song but man it's been heard a gazillion times now right.

1- Xanadu
2- Free Will
3- Red Barchetta
4- Cygnus X-1 Book II HEMISPHERE
5- By Thor and the Snow Dog
6- 2112
7- La Villa Strangiato
8- Camera Eye
9- Natural Science
10-Clockwork Angels
11-The Garden
12-Cygnus X-1
13-Which Hunt
14-Losing It
15-Bravado
16-Armor and Sword
17-Territories
18-Prime Mover
19-Animate
20-The Spirit of Radio
21-The Weapon
22-A Farewell To Kings
23-The Fountain of Lamneth
24-Spindrift
25-The Trees

I don't mean to nitpick, but you mistakenly left Hemispheres off your list. I've noticed a few others making that mistake.

It happens, I guess. You may all go fix your lists now.

Oops! Sorry. In my haste I thought that was Book I.

Everyone ELSE may go fix their lists now.

To be frank, I don't really like Hemispheres. That last hasn't changed in two years, I ain't changin' it now.

AFTK - 58
Hemispheres - 50
PeW - 59

RTB - 18
Counterparts - 23
T4E - 15
VT - 23
S&A - 14
CA - 46

Even more proof for the already proven - their best streak of albums.

CA hits even with Signals, but CA still has a few extra unnecessary "hype points" on its side.

I already see flaws with my own list. Headlong Flight should be in there. And Freewill. And Limelight. And YYZ. And Red Sector A. The Trees. Eh. They're all so close. This is impossible to do satisfactorily.
