TRF rank all 168 Rush songs

[Disembodied Spirit]

[Cyclonus X-1]

I've still have a couple songs that have not been named as yet.

 

Let's be real rebels and choose them out of turn.

 

168) The Stars Look Down (Cyclonus X-1)

 

What's left? The Way the Wind Blows? Resist? Everyday Glory?

Instead of grabbing Cialis...Narps just reads your list.

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.

 

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.

 

That's the spirit! :)

 

Still waiting for Lucas to come in here and try to play devils advocate to my devils advocate, like he does in damn near every post I make here.

 

Maybe he is a commie too. Jersey is a Red state ferfecksake. ;)

 

Did you hear that Lucas? 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."

 

He totally would.

 

He would also try to convince you the clouds were in the shape of KISS masks.

 

"Ooh Look...Gene is that stratocumulus cloud over there"

Funnily, I was TRYING to force a Paul Stanley joke in that post but i had nothing. The Gene cloud works!

 

oh boy ... that is too easy

It's easy for you. But I don't eat, sleep, and piss KISS like you do so I couldn't find a Paul Stanley joke in a Thai sky

 

 

PISS

 

KISS

 

I totally got that!!!

Ah! Even Johnny knows this list could never be a TRUE ranking of Rush songs. :) ;) ;) ;)

"Even Johnny knows"?!!! What do mean "even"??!!!

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.

 

Dude the post just got to me at the right time. Or the wrong time, depending on your point of view.

 

The other top lists were more like, this is what you should check out, they say so right at the top.

I didn't check the original post of the Top 500 List thread but the Top 1000 List of the '70s thread said this in the original post:

 

"To have something to do waiting for the 80s list to turn over, here's a list honoring the best of the 70s.

 

(Note: since Permanent Waves is a 70s album, those songs are welcome here. But let's not get sidetracked, and instead honor a great decade of music).

 

To keep things moving, you may post once every 10 songs or 3 hours, whichever comes FIRST..

 

1) Xanadu--Rush (laughedatbytime)

 

This should require no explanation here:"

 

There's nothing there that says "this is what you should check out". It's just a list. It says that much at least. But there's no reason for the title to be "Top (insert number)" anything. Anyway...
