torbit Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 CBC chose the top 10 Rush songs and Neil Peart gave a breakdown of each one. Do you agree with the top 10? http://music.cbc.ca/blogs/2014/11/Neil-Peart-on-the-10-best-Rush-songs-ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 My only exception would be Time Stands Still. But the list is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torbit Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 ^ I actually really like that song, despite the terrible video 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Cool Read. Obviously...most are many of their "singles". But I was really happy to see both Xanadu and La Villa Strangiato acknowledged because in my opinion, they are definitely amongst the best of the best...likely both Top 5 songs for me.

tx_rush Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Great choices, Neil! I dont think this is his list- they made up the list and attached passed comments he made about the songs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Red BarchettaLimelightXanadu These I agree with. The rest of the list I would have made would be: Witch HuntLosing ItMarathonA Farewell To KingsDistant Early WarningSecond NatureLock And Key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 One song that is really standing out as missing is FREEWILL. To me, this would easily take the place of Time Stand Still on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 ^ My first thought also. I don't hate Time Stands Still, but top ten? I could think of twenty songs more deserving -- Closer to the Heart, A Passage to Bangkok, Anthem, etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 That was really cool, always nice to see him speak fondly of the early days 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pound of Obscure Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 My only exception would be Time Stands Still. But the list is good.Agreed. That one wouldn't make my top 50. Not a bad song, but #9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad song, but #9? I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I think TSS is worthy of a top ten spot. Breathtaking guitar work, and one of Ged's most emotional vocal deliveries 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lachrymal Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 That was really cool, always nice to see him speak fondly of the early days No need for the backhanded compliment for Xanadu, it's as good as anything else on the list Neil! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 That is no in no way Neil's selections. Pretty telling since it's called "Neil Peart ON the 10 best Rush songs ever". More telling is that doesn't include The Pass, Animate, Faithless or anything from Power Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 ^ I actually really like that song, despite the terrible video I love the list. I just played to "Time Stand Still" last night! Wow! As it is overplayed, the song is fun to play on the drums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
