The 11 Best Songs By Rush


There are three things that plague the human race.: Terrorists, Telemarketers, and Traffic. There is no doubt if all three things were to disappear that the planet would be a much better place to live...in fact, it would be probably be very close to being a utopia. Imagine driving to work and you hit every green light. Imagine that not one person cuts in front of you and no one in front of you comes to a stop for no apparent reason. Imagine how happy you would be if you walked into work without having to use your brakes except to stop in your parking space. Driving to work with no traffic might be better than sex (I said might be). This list is for everyone who has to commute between San Francisco and Oakland. The next three months of your life will be hell. This is dedicated to all of you.

Nice job with this list, though "Spirit of Radio" would have been nice to see just because it was the song that prompted me to buy "Permanent Waves" with my saved-up allowance when I was 12. Oh, and I am happy to say that the commute hasn't really been a problem.

Fly by Night and Spirit of Radio would've been nice, but great list otherwise!

What about "Far Cry", "Faithless" and "Way the Wind Blows" from the latest album "Snakes and Arrows"?

Personally I'm more into the 1970's stuff from "Fly By Night" up to "Moving Pictures", and then again in the 1990's stuff, but mostly "Test for Echo" and the song "Resist", and what I consider being one of their best albums ever, "Snakes and Arrows". Totally fabulous, marvelous and brilliant!

Oh, I forgot! The song "Bravest Face" from "Snakes and Arrows". A nice verse moving with an exciting bridge into one of the strongest choruses that I can think of right now.
