Lorraine Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Xanadu is so bad that they have to use a Z to say it and not an X Even Big Bobby knows mediocre trash when he hears it. :cheers: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman2112 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Songs below average: Emotion Detector Songs above average: Chemistry Songs about average: New World Man, Digital Man, Half the World, Superconductor Songs way above average: Circumstances, Xanadu This thread isn't about the average rock song, it's about the average Rush song. That is way different (since Rush is the greatest musical group that will ever be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Does anybody really sit around and wonder what a band's most average song is? Some are nowWho are these people??? Take some time to ponder the answer. I did and came up with Xanadu.Xanadu is an average song in your estimation? An average run of the mill rock tune? You think it's a good song? :eyeroll:Oh right this is some kind of ironic point of view that you portray as an interesting adjunct to your already established ongoing forum personality. I've not been privy to this up to now, though I think I did notice a thread or post somewhere that had a slightly odd Lorraine-Xanadu connection that just barely touched the periphery of my awareness nerve centre but didn't fully register. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Does anybody really sit around and wonder what a band's most average song is? Some are nowWho are these people??? Anyone in here who posted an answer to the question.You have to admit, it's probably harder than answering which is the best or worst song.I never would have ever contemplated any band's most "average" song. Best, worst, heaviest, wimpiest, most poppy, most explosive, most high energy, most progressive, all these yes, but not "Oh I wonder what their most average song is..."Yeah, I'm not in the line of thinking averages in that regard either but it's here and people are answering so it is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or an anti-music Priest of Syrinx...

Lucas Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I don't know how to answer this question . . . There are no average RUSH songs for me I listen to, and enjoy, everything up until Signals After that, we go from songs that might encourage a well formed bowel movement, to songs that will cause an explosive blast before I can even get to the bathroom Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 If a kid's grade point AVERAGE is 3.95 then the kid's doing well. If I find the AVERAGE Playboy bunny in the Playboy Mansion, I'm sure she'll be quite the vision. Hence, the AVERAGE Rush song.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 three or four on CA but apart from that, everything's at least above average in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman2112 Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 three or four on CA but apart from that, everything's at least above average in my view.Which would make complete sense if Rush had released only 6-8 songs total. I thought about using the more technical term "median", but... never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
