winter17 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) First, the setup: You are introducing a friend to Rush, and you want to provide them with a glimpse into several examples of the group's work, and from there introduce them to similar works of the example they like, and eventually they'll come to love Rush, as every sane human being does. So, what would your examples be? They should fit genres such as: prog, synth, classic, pop rock, etc. My list is: In The MoodBastille Day2112A Farewell to KingsYYZLimelightNew World ManBetween the WheelsOpen SecretsSuperconductorDouble AgentResistFreezeThe Garden I know some versions of this have been done before, but not like this. Basically, songs that describe the different "types" of Rush. Edited May 19, 2016 by ericmichael1116 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I would add something like "New World Man" or "Superconductor" for some of the pop rockish stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
