LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2004 A friend of mine asked me to burn a collection of Rush's Greatest Hits for him, but I don't really listen to Rush. So what songs should I put on it? He said any of their hits. He's not picky. I know there's the obvious ones like Tom Sawyer and Freewill, but what else should I put on it?

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2004 Thanks. I might just end up burning that list of songs. Anything not on that list that I should include? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2004 Except that that greatest hits list was made before the 90's(i think). This is the tracklisting for the Rush In Rio DVD: 1. Tom Saywer 2. Distant Early Warning 3. New World Man 4. Roll The Bones 5. Earthshine 6. YYZ 7. The Pass 8. Bravado 9. The Big Money 10. The Trees 11. Free Will 12. Closer To The Heart 13. Natural Science 14. One Little Victory 15. Driven Ghost Rider 16. Secret Touch 17. Dreamline 18. Red Sector A 19. Leave That Thing Alone 20. O Baterista 21. Resist 22. 2112 23. Limelight 24. La Villa Strangiato 25. The Spirit Of Radio 26. By-Tor and The Snow Dog 27. Cygnus X-1 28. Working Man 27 songs if you take off the O Baterista drum solo. Make the guy 2 discs and give him a pretty much complete history/greatest hits set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2004 Sweet! That should work. Thanks. I'll probably include the drum solo if I can download it because this guy is a drummer and he'd probably like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 anything over 4 songs is gonna need at least 2 discs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaertos 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 the line "Conform or be cast out" is from Subdivisions, one of their greatest songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pochorenella 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 You're missing Subdivisions, Finding My Way, Closer To The Heart. YYZ, and Anthem. No Rush comp shoulb be without these songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Most of those are on the long track listing in this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Subdivisions would be a good add... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Don't they already have five or so GH comps out already? anything over 4 songs is gonna need at least 2 discs I imagine this is referring to their epic era from the late 70's when they were prone to doing 10-20 minute epics. Most songs after Permanent Waves(1980) are the "standard" 4-5 minutes long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Unless you want to count all the live albums, there are only 2 that I know of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 I checked. Four official GH compilations (Chronicles, Retrospective I, Retrospective II, The Spirit of Radio) With the exception of Chronicles (released in '90), I find it somewhat disheartening that the compilations (more than likely studio choice over artists' choise though) ignore their 90's work entirely, when they put out three good CDs and scored a decent number of radio hits ("Roll the Bones", "Nobody's Hero", "Animate", "Stick it Out", "Resist" and "Driven") The live discography (while expansive) is worth checking out as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Too many songs to name. But Ravenbomb's right regarding the number of songs you'll be able to record. I'd suggest doing several mixes -- one for their older short stuff, one for the turn-of-the-1980 albums, and another one with long songs. Anything after Power Windows does nothing for me...

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Just make sure YYZ and La Villa Strangiato are both included, without fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
