RUSH Survivor 2016
Celebrating 42 Years of Rush with 42 Songs in the Finals!
As it turns out, the band is 42 years old this year, and the way my Survivor will work out, the Finals will total up to 42 songs in the ranking! How quaint! As usual, the Top 2 songs in each album will advance to the Finals, while the 3rd place song from each of the 19 studio albums will move on to the Consolation Rounds, where the Top 2 of that Survivor will move on to the Finals to get a second chance. In addition, the songs from the
Feedback EP will be featured alongside the band's early B-Sides/Non-Album tracks, plus their first single "Not Fade Away"/"You Can't Fight It" (and many of these are easily available to watch on YouTube, even on the band's own channel).
I plan on running TWO ALBUMS AT ONCE for the majority of this survivor. Whether by design or by coincidence, it seems as though I can easily run two at the same time as nearly each pair of albums has the same number of tracks per album (Rush/FBN, SIG/GUP, CP/TFE, VT/S&A), or are one track off (COS/2112, PEW/MP, PRST/RTB). So to make this a bit of a speedier survivor, I will run TWO ROUNDS each day (or at least try to whenever I can remember to update). Hopefully you guys can keep up with everything!
