Lost In Xanadu Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) If you asked a random music fan to name 3 Rush songs, which 3 do you think they will name if they were able to actually name 3 (and not just say "I don't know")? I think #1 and #2 are solid, but #3... not sure. #1 has to be Tom Sawyer#2 likely TSoR#3? Limelight? Subdivisions? FBN? I'd pick Working Man as #3 Edited October 19, 2015 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'd expect "Who's Rush?" as a most likely reply. But maybe Limelight, Freewill, or Fly by Night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Closer to the Heart, perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 My husband only knew TSOR. I had to hum a few bars of Tom Sawyer for him, and he still didn't recognize it. But I'm sure that has more to do with my poor humming. Same with Limelight. Maybe if he heard them he would, but he's not interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Tom Sawyer, CTTH, and maybe Working Man (thanks to the many covers, including the one that that guy did on American Idol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In bold... Seriously with all the greatness that was 74' - 84'? Your first two choices absolutely but there are so many others so much better than the others you chose. I think I will just ignore these from now on and I am sure you won't mind me doing so. It just drives me nuts to see "those" in the same breath with the great ones... :hi: Time to ignore and no hard feelings... :cheers: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Tom Sawyer for sure, and then any two of Limelight, Freewill, Closer to the Heart, The Spirit of Radio, and Fly by Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Closer To The Heart, Spirit Of Radio, Freewill, Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Subdivisions should be the ones everybody knows. Red Barchetta, YYZ, New World Man and Distant Early Warning are possibilities as well. Yeah, I know that's more than three. It also depends on how popular Rush is in you area. My local rock station used to play the shit out of any single they released between their debut and CP.
