TRF rank all 168 Rush songs

[JohnnyBlaze]

Treeduck haul albums:

 

Fly By Night = 3

A Farewell To Kings = 3

Permanent Waves = 1

Moving Pictures = 3

Signals = 1

Grace Under Pressure = 1

Counterparts = 1

The 3s are a more telling number than the 1s.

 

I'm wondering what the last 3 will be.

 

Also, I'm assuming Can't Fight It is counted in the 168 but Not Fade Away. But how about Battlescar?

I'm looking at finishing with Superconductor!

Someone will pick it now that you've said it.

That's what I'm hoping for!

Just saw that Can't Fight It was picked way back in the 30s and so was Garden Road which I had forgotten.

 

THEN, does BU2B2 count in the 168? If so, that'd be my pick for #168.

I guess it must do. I'm thinking though that with all these early songs and Broon's Bane as well that the final total will be over 168. But then i don't know the actual total number because I've never thought to add them all up.

Well, I'd be ok with Superconductor at 168 if BU2B2 is 170 or whatever.

 

((Edited to add: Just saw that BU2B2 was picked. See, that's just crazy talk. How?! Just some wise guy putting it in there. ))

I think a handful of weaker tunes have been picked way too early on purpose in an effort to piss a few people off. I've not seen much bitching about the order though.

Nobody's complaining about the order because those that are actively involved in listing don't think of this as a ranking. It's not a ranking, it's a listing.

 

One thing was for sure, the strongest songs couldn't be kept out for very long. It's not like Natural Science or 2112 were going to be picked past 30 for example.

I've been treating it like a RUSH song mock draft. 2112 for me was a top 5 draft pick. I'm a big AFTK fan though so I "coveted" my favourites from that album.

Tai Shan at 120??? This list is total Tai Shan, a pile of fresh dog Tai Shan.

 

Pick its cousin High Water. I double dare you

Interestingly, when I counted it as a song because it's track a few times on TRF a few other members were saying it shouldn't be counted (as a song) because it's simply an interlude.
