Title: Rush Survivor 2020 - Presto - Round 3
Post by: The Letter M on April 03, 2020, 09:18:35 AM
Presto
Show Don't Tell
Chain Lightning
The Pass
War Paint
Scars
Presto
Superconductor
Anagram (For Mongo)
Available Light

Round 2's Results:
The Pass 1 (6.7%)
War Paint 3 (20%)
Presto 1 (6.7%)
Superconductor 1 (6.7%)
Anagram (For Mongo) 4 (26.7%)
Hand Over Fist 5 (33.3%)

10. Hand Over Fist
11. Red Tide

A close call between Anagram and HOF, but HOF loses by one vote, though I suspect Anagram might be next (as it'll get my vote this round as well). After Power Windows, Rush really got into the habit of putting their lesser-liked songs near the end of their albums (aside from some of their album closers).

Still Superconductor.

Did it? Must have been before me, because when I did it in 2016, it placed 8th, and in 2013 when cyberdrummer did it, it placed 9th, so being any higher than 8th place seems unlikely to me, but if you can find pre-2013 results, I'd like to see them!

With the pre-GUP albums, "least favorite" was an apt term.  Not so much anymore.  Of the remaining songs, the one I dislike most is Scars, but I voted for Stupidconductor.

This is a very bi-polar album.  There were a lot of not very good songs on GUP through HYF, but Presto was the first Rush album that featured a song that I found embarrassingly bad (HOF).  On the other hand, it also features what I think is Rush's most underrated song and possibly my favorite post-Signals song.

title track again


all my favourite songs are going out first. Red Tide is so emotional & epic, & WP, Anagram, & HOF are so calm & soothing. :'(
