Top Rush Songs

I do not own any of the music or pictures in this video. The music belongs to the artists noted in the video.

My opinion of the top 20 songs by Rush. My bias is towards Rush in the 1970s(their first 8 albums from Rush - Moving Pictures). Rush after this is still good, but their music just doesn't not have the same power as their early period.

1. 2112
2. The Spirit of Radio
3. Cygnus X-1
4. Anthem
5. Xanadu
6. Working Man
7. La Villa Strangiato
8. A Farewell to Kings
9. Tom Sawyer
10. Circumstances
11. A Passage to Bangkok
12. Something for Nothing
13. YYZ
14. The Trees
15. Bastille Day
16. Freewill
17. Limelight
18. Closer to the Heart
19. By Tor and the Snow Dog
20. Beneath, Between and Behind

I think you are lacking in years 1982 onward.

@Digikid313 I've listened to all of Rush's songs. As stated in my description, I don't pretend to be representing all of them in this list. In my opinion, all of Rush's best songs are in their first eight albums from Rush - Moving Pictures. I still like Rush after 1981, but they're not as good. If it's easier for you, think of this list as Top Rush Songs from 1974 - 1981.

Respond to this video... I thought it was Cygnus X-1 from A Farewell to Kings and why is that one not on the list, Rush is just too good I guess we can't have everything, ahaha

[LedWhoFloyd]

@Kruegerisgod Both songs from A Farwell to Kings and Hemispheres are called Cygnus X-1. Instead of using two slots for them, I thought I would cheat and group them together since they are really similar. I respect your opinion, but Hold your Fire is definately not Rush's creative peak. Rush peaked with Hemispheres. I could have made this list representative of all of Rush's career, but I decided to with what I personally thought their top 20 songs were (which were all from 74-81).

lol Subdivisions is my favourite one

[RushNTriumphRock]

id personally switch the trees or tom sawyer with lakeside park, but this is a great list. I was honestly expecting a terrible one, good job. =]

[joedalton155]

Good list, but where the hell is "fly by night" ?

[rushfan27]

nothing from signals, grace under pressure or power windows? three of their best albums. closer to the heart and limelight should b higher

[Kruegerisgod]

@LedWhoFloyd Listen to Mission,Lock & Key and Marathon from Power Windows and Mystic Rhythms and tell me it isn't , Cygnus X-1 Book 2 is the one from Hemispheres, my favorite albums are actually A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, and Moving Pictures. But they are more enriched and expanded with the synth albums as much as you don't like hearing that

[Kruegerisgod]

@LedWhoFloyd Where is Cygnus-X Hemispheres

[Kruegerisgod]

@LedWhoFloyd I'm biased towards that Era too, but I love SIGNALS to HOLD YOUR FIRE A LOT!!!TOO. That's them at their creative peak
