I hated leaving that off, but there simply wasn't room. And I don't think it would have done that well, quite honestly.
Right on. I know cutting down can be tough. I just wanted to cast a write in vote.
Word. And what, no write-in vote for The Fountain of Lamneth?
Closer to Tom Sawyer's Fly.
Just got burned on that one.Edit to my prior post: Ghost of a Chance from the fourth section.
Same problem for me... don't want to choose anything in the last poll, so I won't vote.YYZ is my favorite Rush song. 
We know
I voted for Working Man because thats the only Rush song Ive ever heard that I liked
Their albums still sell pretty well, at least compared to those of their peers of similar age, and considering the overall dropoff in sales over the years thanks to the internet. 1993's Counterparts (a GREAT record) debuted at number 2 on the charts! And while their music of the 2000s isn't as great as the music from their peak era, it is still pretty darn good. Good luck finding a band that's been together for 33 years that made an album as good as Snakes and Arrows.
Same here, plus I only "know" about 6 of these songs anyway.
That is another one that pained me to leave off. I love that song.Different Strings from the Permanent Waves album/CD should have been included in the poll.
It's getting votes. I probably should have gone for Cold Fire over it from Counterparts, but I doubt either would go very far. But I wanted to go with an equal balance of songs from each album, while still giving more weight to the classic era.
It is, but not only it is probably only the 6th best song at best off of Moving Pictures, it is, for me anyway, one of their least best "long" songs. As good as it is, it cannot touch 2112, Xanadu, La Villa Strangiato, Natural Science, Hemispheres or Cygnus X-1.
It's my favorite off the album, but that's me.As far as other long songs, the instrumentals "La Villa Strangiato" and "Jacob's Ladder" are also getting shortchanged IMO.
) are both in my Rush top 5, so I hear you on that one.
Same here.
That is why only 2 other bands have sold more records then Rush. The Beatles and the Stones.Carry on.
Same here.Ok top 20 Rush songs for me......and this is so tough as you know Ghost.In no particular order:1) Anthem2) 21123) Xanadu4) Hemispheres5) La Villa Strangiato6) The Spirit of Radio7) Freewill8) Jacobs Ladder9) Natural Science10) Red Barchetta11) Subdivisions12) The Analog Kid13) Red Sector A14) Marathon15) Middletown Dreams16) Mission17) Between The Wheels18) Tom Sawyer19) YYZ20) LimelightLa Villa Strangiato and Jacob's Ladder (which is just mostly instrumental
I saw it on Palladia - as great as it was, must have been the bomb to hear it live.
Agreed to all but I prefer TCE over Cygnus X-1. Cygnus has not aged well for me.
That's a great top 20Same here.Ok top 20 Rush songs for me......and this is so tough as you know Ghost.In no particular order:1) Anthem2) 21123) Xanadu4) Hemispheres5) La Villa Strangiato6) The Spirit of Radio7) Freewill8) Jacobs Ladder9) Natural Science10) Red Barchetta11) Subdivisions12) The Analog Kid13) Red Sector A14) Marathon15) Middletown Dreams16) Mission17) Between The Wheels18) Tom Sawyer19) YYZ20) LimelightLa Villa Strangiato and Jacob's Ladder (which is just mostly instrumental
, and I am especially glad to see both Mission and Marathon in there; both would be in my top 20, and one of them might break the top 10. I'd have several from Counterparts in there as well - Leave That Thing Alone for sure, and maybe both Animate and Everyday Glory.
Like I said...it is so hard to come up with 20 tunes. I love Cut To The Chase, Alien Shore, Cold Fire, Totem, Armor and Sword, Far Cry, Vaportrail, I could go on and on and on.But one thing is for certain 77-87 is the very best period of Rush AFTK-HYF was Rush in their absolute prime.BTW fellow Rush breathern I have very strong insider info to the upcoming tour that:2112 will be performed...not just side one....the entire album. Remains to be seen but it is on very strong information inside the band.That's a great top 20Same here.Ok top 20 Rush songs for me......and this is so tough as you know Ghost.In no particular order:1) Anthem2) 21123) Xanadu4) Hemispheres5) La Villa Strangiato6) The Spirit of Radio7) Freewill8) Jacobs Ladder9) Natural Science10) Red Barchetta11) Subdivisions12) The Analog Kid13) Red Sector A14) Marathon15) Middletown Dreams16) Mission17) Between The Wheels18) Tom Sawyer19) YYZ20) LimelightLa Villa Strangiato and Jacob's Ladder (which is just mostly instrumental
