So, I'm going to follow along with y'all even though I did not submit a list. About half of Rush's discography I know very well, and the other half is almost completely unfamiliar to me. I'm going to follow along with every song either way and give either my defined opinions or my first impressions, as the case may be.
75. Roll the Bones
I've heard this one a few times.
I enjoy it, even though it's somewhat outside my usual wheelhouse. I like the groovy approach to the verses, and the choruses are pretty catchy. The rap is... something? I think it's funny, which may or may not have been what they're going for? I can see myself finding it to jar with the more serious lyrics on the rest of the song.
74. Double Agent
I think I may have listened to this once, the one and only time I listened to Counterparts, years ago. So it's essentially new to me.
The verses didn't really grab me here, but I really like the "Wilderness of mirrors" part, which I guess is the chorus. Not sure how well the spoken parts are really working for me, but I could imagine this being a grower.
73. Prime Mover
Like Counterparts, Hold Your Fire is an album I heard once many years ago, so this song and the next one are virtually new to me.
This one is alright, but not something I find immediately compelling. I do like the chorus, and could see it resonating more with me over time.
72. Open Secrets
There's some cool stuff going on musically here. I was immediately struck by what was going on under "I never meant what you're thinking." I also like the guitar tone under the chorus. Also feels pretty proggy in terms of the song structure and middle section, so it could be interesting to dig into over time.
