rftag Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 If you were introducing someone to Rush who you want to like them, what song would you play for them first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Oh boy. That's tough to know. Depends on the person. But if they don't like TSOR or Tom Sawyer at least a little there's probably no hope. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Lee Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 2112 got me into them almost instantly on a random whim. But, then again, I'm odd/ambitious :P. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRushmonkey Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Anything from MP. TSOR, Subdivisions and Big Money are good ones too. Â Although, it depends on what they like really if they were into prog already or maybe even metal I might put on 2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Stick It Out. That got me hooked on Rush! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Red Barchetta worked for me. There's a bit of just about everything in there, in a song that grabs hold of you and won't let go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemisteers Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I sent Subdivisions and Limelight to a lady recently, who liked the songs, but not the voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuesday's Gone Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) I was at a small party which I regret coming to and everyone was putting that crappy dubstep music. I decided to put La Villa Strangiato because I don't give a damn what anyone thinks. To my surprise, these ADHD kids thought it was amazing.

Irenicus Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Stick It Out. That got me hooked on Rush!It may have worked for you, but that doesn't mean it would for others too.Personally I can only say, chance is very high I would have never listened to anything else of Rush after hearing Stick It Out or for that matter the whole Counterparts.I think people should always start with the classic stuff, generally for any band, because that's the stuff that got them famous, which usually happens for a reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I don't think anything from CP will hook many people on Rush......but hey i've been surprised before. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 2112 Best viable answer. I tried to get my eighties adoring friend into Rush with their eighties stuff; she responded much better to 2112, which nearly instantly became her favorite song which she would listen to every morning before school. 2112 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I would think TSOR or Limelight, then Xanadu, Moving Pictures and 2112. But I dunno, my daughter didn't know any Rush at all and I was always playing All the World's a Stage in the car and now she loves them. It turned out she really liked Bastille Day and Fly by Night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
