Lorraine Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 How the hell is Malnar #164?I think this list has been about not forgetting songs more than ranking the best or worst. Even with the list repeated again and again, songs have been sloppily repeated. A TRUE ranking from all 168 is too much to do. But ranking songs on each album is easily doable. Ah! Even Johnny knows this list could never be a TRUE ranking of Rush songs. :) ;) ;) ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This list is a red herring, and I'm not talking about the Commies here. In this case at least. Its also straw man, a false dilemma and is not Empirically valid. Venn is turning in his grave.

g under p Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I was able to get my first 8 choices ones that I liked then the last 4 were just fill ins from albums I didn't like so much. 13) The Camera Eye25) Headlong Flight37) Earthshine61) Between The Wheels70) Afterimage83) The Body Electric97) The Manhattan Project117) Test For Echo127) We Hold On141) Bravest Face154) Good News First165) Faithless You snagged Earthshine from me! Manhattan Project also. I was aiming for Good News First as one of my last picks...I'm rare in that I like that song. I wanted to name more from my favorite album GUP, my favorite from the album RSA got snagged just before I was going to pick it. I really have to try and listen to Snakes & Arrows more caused I've never liked that album which is at the bottom of my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was bitching about this ranking system way back in the early pages along with Digital Dad. I just wasn't as adamant. And I was bitching about the Top 500, Top 1000 lists in the Music Forum weeks or even months ago. You can't really do a RANKING without some kind average score or collective effort. Of course, you can have your own PERSONAL 168 but then it's just you ranking and not TRF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other top lists were more like, this is what you should check out, they say so right at the top. The tenor of this particular thing was different. Basically he just said this is the best song. Bang. pretty comical if you are an objective thinker like me. If I hadn't seen it that night I probably wouldn't have even bothered with it. It was just too easy to mock.

DD called us commies.Lorraine, if you were on a beach in Thailand with Lucas on a completely clear blue sky day with sun beams beaming and said, "What a lovely blue sky!", it's possible that Lucas would play devil's advocate and say, "Well, it's nice and all but it's not completely blue. I see a very slight hint of grey in there." Edited July 14, 2016 by JohnnyBlaze 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
