I'm making a disc for a 22 year old guitard....i'm trying to educate him..... looking for a good cross section of Rush music to fill an 80 minute disc. (Can you believe all he has ever heard is Tom Sawyer?)
so far this is what i have come up with which totals 76 minutes give or take a few seconds
The Spirit of Radio
The Trees
Freewill
Xanadu
Closer to the Heart
2112 Overture/Temple of Syrinx
Working Man
Fly by Night
Limelight
Tom Sawyer
Red Barchetta
New World Man
Subdivisions
Distant Early Warning
that basically covers 1974 to 1987 i think not a big fan of the stuff that came after...
did i leave anything out possibly Time Stands Still? YYZ?
I tried to pick something from every record but it was just too hard...too much material so i just picked my favs...
anything you would have put on here that i didn't?

Maybe La Villa Strangiato. You picked fairly cookie-cutter greatest hits song though, I would give him something from Presto, RTB or GUP aswell, they are fairly overlooked albums in a fairly overlooked period of Rush.
Cinderella Man would be another good one aswell. Or anything from Caress of Steel.
But seriously, this will take a couple more CDs. |

-Anthem
-Driven
-Passage to Bangkok
-Bastille Day |

| I don't know that Working Man is good enough to hang with the rest of that list.
I'd definitely include YYZ and La Villa Strangiato. I'd probably replace Working Man with Circumstances or Manhattan Project.
And how about The Main Monkey Business or Faithless?

The Big Wheel, off the Roll The Bones album. Nothing too tough, a few bar chords, but a lot of fun to play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80wphIfe2mk

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | | | Add Circumstances, By-Tor and In The End. The Fountain Of Lamneth is a cool song too but it's very long so it might not fit on the CD.
