I think everyone should put up their top 5 stinkers and weight them, so no1 gets 5 points etc. Create the compilation from the top 10 highest scorers:
1. Mystic Rhythms
2. Big Money
3. Dog Years
4. Bravest Face
5. Force Ten (this is not that bad, but it's the song that started to turn me off Rush in the mid 80s)

The whole album then?
Yes, the only good thing about it was that we got a UK tour out of it. Second set was a real slog with all those songs from S&A one after another...

Yes. I just sat down and read the tour book.

And I saw that bloody tour six times!!!!
Only time I've ever gone for a beer during a show.
Top Five Stinkers:
1. Tai Shan
2. Bravest Face
3. Wish Them Well
4. Freeze
5. High Water
It's hard, after Signals there's an awful lot of stench.
It's a great idea but there are Rush songs I've only heard twice, never to return to. I couldn't name more than three tunes on Counterparts, if that. Or on Snakes & Arrows. Just looked at the track listing for S&A, I do recognise the names but I couldn't put a tune to them, mostly.
It'll have a go later but will force myself to pick songs from different periods.
Never been the biggest fan of CttH, it's not bottom of the barrel though.
Not kidding about Nobody's Hero, that is down there. Brr..
Bravest Face
Good News First
Rivendell
Rivendell
Rivendell
Rivendell of course. The musical equivalent of watching paint dry. Never had time for Driven, always found it a little durgy.
