Guessing the two that didn’t have a song make the top 75 are Caress of Steel and Snakes and Arrows.
That's what I was thinking.
No. I have a song from one at #20 and a song from the other at #29.
It's going to be either Vapor Trails or Test For Echo, because I have a song from every other album in the top 75. EXCEPT... one song from T4E is already in the top 75, and someone said they have a song from VT on there. Did I misunderstand the fun fact? Or is it one of those that is neither fun, nor a fact.
I believe this was a reference to the aggregate top 75, so it doesn't matter what any particular submitter had in his/her top 75. For example, I had songs from all 19 albums in my top 75, and I believe that's true of several folks. We already know that COS has at least one song in the top 75, and I'd be absolutely shocked if at least one other doesn't make it. We've also seen two from T4E so far. We haven't yet seen a VT or S&A song, so they're still in the running.
Here are two for this lovely Monday morning...
62 Driven
Appeared on 14 of 25 entrees
Top 10 finishes: 0
Highest Ranking: 13 (wolfking)
I didn't rank this one, but this is definitely one of the better songs from Test for Echo. And, in fact, it is the highest ranked song from that record in the top 75. Great riff, fun song to crank up on the highway.
61 Cut to the Chase
Appeared on 16 of 25 entrees
Top 10 finishes: 2
Highest Ranking: 8 (wolfking)
I guess it's fitting that we were just talking about this one. I had it at 48. Definitely very high on my "I can't believe they never played this song live" list when it comes to Rush songs. That guitar solo is like running water...so fluid.
I didn't have either of these songs in my top 75. I had Driven at #80 and Cut to the Chase at #96. I like Driven, but I never really cared for the extended bass stuff when it was played live, and that probably influenced my ranking. CTTC is good but not great.
