What's the best 4 song set Rush has ever done? Studio albums only and don't combine the end of an album with the start of another album.

 

The Spirit Of Radio

Freewill

Jacob's Ladder

Entre Nous

Never mind then..... :)

Hemisphere's

Circumstances

The Tree's

La Villa Strangiato

 

;)

 

This, or:

 

Red Barchetta

YYZ

Limelight

The Camera Eye

 

All easy 10s for me for both... :)

I was thinking of that, but I don't care for YYZ that much.

 

The other one I was going to do is from Signals, but the songs before and after The Weapon don't, for as good as they are, hold a candle to it, so I didn't.

Side one of Moving Pictures. Remember album sides? Well, side one of Moving Pictures is perfect.

Hmmmmm....Clockwork Angels is perfect from start to finish.

Clockwork Angels is very good, especially at the point of Rush's career it was released. But perfect? I dunno.

I'm a huge fan of the album, but I only think about half of it is truly amazing

YYZ is IMO the weakest of the 4 by far but it's still great (not-so-easy 10 but still a 10). And the other 3 are all in my top 10 so they offset it quite a bit :)

You could even drop The Camera Eye and add Tom Sawyer and it'd still be a 10.

I actually give Sawyer an (incredibly high) 9... :outtahere:

I can't argue with that.
