5- 2112

6- Tom Sawyer

7- Bravado

8- Red Sector A

9- La Villa

10- The Pass

No restrictions aye? OK...

By Tor/In The End (live from ATWAS) That's 2

2112

Lessons

Something For Nothing

Xanadu

Cinderella Man

Cygnus Book II Hemispheres

Natural Science

Witch Hunt

 

This is nearly impossible to do by the way. There are really only 4 or 5 that are givens and the rest are tough. A top 20 or 25 as we have done many times is much easier... :wacko:

Really hard, but I think a good exercise and I always enjoy doing this. Of course some of this will be different tomorrow. (I also like power ranking the albums like this).

 

LATELY, these are the songs I like to listen to the most. This is not necessarily a Best Songs list, just an opinion.

 

1. Red Barchetta

2. Subdivisions

3. The Camera Eye

4. Natural Science

5. Xanadu

6. Jacob's Ladder

7. Cygnus X-1

8. Hemispheres

9. La Villa

10. 2112

 

Honorable Mentions:

The entire Power Windows album

All of the "hits" that everyone likes/plays

The Enemy Within!!!

Cheater... :LOL: The song in bold was almost on my list. The whole of AFTK exception Madrigal could have made my list truth be told. The 2112 - Hemispheres run was just to awesome in my view....

I'd extend that run to Permanent Waves...maybe the best run of albums in history

My turn. Narps hit it on the head. They're obvious epics which are gold standard, but really I'm burned out on them at present. Here goes:

 

In the End

Beneath, Between, Behind

Bangkok--ESL

Lessons

Madrigal

Different Strings

Between the Wheels

Manhattan Project

Seven Cities of Gold

The Anarchist--So killer live

I was going to include it too but it was a slight change in direction to be sure so I didn't. If anything I would have gone backwards to COS even though I think Permanent Waves is a better album. Just speaking about style here of course...

Well, number one is established, but I'll list the next nine that come to mind as exceptional in no particular order after it since I may never get this down.

 

1. CYGNUS X-1 BOOK I: THE VOYAGE

 

The next nine that come to mind:

2112

Xanadu

Natural Science

Tom Sawyer

The Spirit Of Radio

YYZ

Jacob's Ladder

Clockwork Angels

Something For Nothing

 

 

...wow, what a cliche list...yet these all deserve to be there, as well as many more including....wait, I'll never finish writing that list either. I'll just stop now.

Not only is Cygnus my favorite Rush song, but it is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music - it is so perfect, and Geddy's vocals are like nothing else
