EagleMoon Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Honestly I'm surprised Red Barchetta made #1, even though it's what I voted for. I figured Tom Sawyer would end up in the top spot since it's always been a popular song with the masses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured Tom Sawyer would end up in the top spot since it's always been a popular song with the masses.After hearing so many TRFers say it's not their favorite, I assumed Tom wouldn't be #1. I am surprised by Barchetta though. I thought it'd be #2 or #3. Still, can't really go wrong with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Bravo JB, great work !! When do we move on to Permanent Waves ? :DI'm not touching Permanent Waves because you assholes won't shut up about whether it's a 70s or 80s album! ;) Someone else can do the other albums. Basically, I just wanted to show that a REAL way to rank CAN be done for certain things. I actually went ahead and posted one for Permanent Waves. I know it seems hasty, but it might be my all-time favorite Rush album and I felt like putting it up. By the way, terrific job with these Moving Pictures rankings.:cheers: Cool. I'll check out that PeW thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 Thanks for compiling the stats, JB! And, people, why so little love for Witch Hunt?!Well, Ive got a lot of love for Witch Hunt despite it being my #6 song. It just happens to be on this perfect album with all these other Rush classics that I love just a little bit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on whether the ranking is for just liking a song or whether the song is well put together. They aren't always the same thing.

treeduck Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Well folks, the TRUE TRF rankings for Moving Pictures' tunes have been tallied and calculated. 46 of you have ranked so thanks for that. I think it's a respectable sample and gives a good idea of what we generally think. So here's where the songs fall. Their calculated ranking average is in parentheses along with a few other stats below that. 1) Red Barchetta (2.6739)2) Limelight (2.9782)3) YYZ (3.7391)4) Tom Sawyer (4.0869)5) The Camera Eye (4.2173)6) Witch Hunt (5.1086)7) Vital Signs (5.5434) As I said in a previous post, every song was ranked in every position at least once but here are a few other stats... Number of #1 rankings per tune...RB: 12Lime: 12YYZ: 4Tom: 4TCE: 9!!!!...but it still placed only 5th due to the number of #5-#7 rankings it got. Tom just beat out TCE because of the volume of #3-#5 rankings that IT got.WH: 2VS: 3 Number of #7 rankings per tune...RB: 2Lime: 1YYZ: 3Tom: 3TCE: 6WH: 15!VS: 16!!! Red Barchetta has assumed control...http://www.kaliteliresimler.com/data/media/422/Ferrari-550Barchetta.jpg That's the correct order, MY order! :banana: :clap: http://i.imgur.com/1sJQ5k2.jpg Edited July 17, 2016 by treeduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Why is anyone surprised that Red Barchetta got the top spot? Remember a couple years ago when one of the members created a thread to determine the number one Rush song of all time according to us and Red Barchetta won. I'm not the least bit surprised it topped the list here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the least bit surprised it topped the list here.Don't remember that #1 Rush song of all time thread. Also, TRF today isn't TRF of yesterday. And thinking more about it, how was the #1 tune decided? A vote of all 168 songs? I kind of thought Limelight or YYZ was going to take it with Red Barchetta in the top 3. It was my #2 but I seem to hear more positive comments about other MP tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 1) Limelight2) Red Barchetta3) The Camera Eye4) Witch Hunt5) Vital Signs6) YYZ7) Tom Sawyer I give every song on this album 10/10. One of the most perfect albums ever. I can happily admit though that Tom Sawyer has always been the great opening number of the eighties Rush era but...I enjoy the next six songs so much more.
