Sorry, I'd rather listen to the songs I listed and I know VT and Working Man very well. Close but no cigar.

I purposely skipped instrumentals and only included songs, thus the title.

To quote Eddie Van Halen while he was listening to Yngwie's "Black Star" and other instrumentals on Rising Force:

"There's no songs here...."

The Spirit of Radio (best of) compilation is a good batch of tunes. Plus the masterpiece YYZ.

The beginning is "YYZ" in morse code.

That counts!

Know what? Gonna like my own post here, too.

Well, he was wrong

Eddie also said in a Guitar World interview that instrumentals were songs. Eddie was never all that consistent in his viewpoints.

I’m just imagining someone telling Beethoven, “those aren’t songs, bro.” Razz

by Seth Sat Nov 30, 2024 9:44 am

To be fair with classical music “piece” is typically used rather than “song,” but it doesn’t really matter what you call it imo

by Pethead Sat Nov 30, 2024 9:48 am

True, but the thought still made me laugh.

song /sông, sŏng/

noun

A brief composition written or adapted for singing.

Yeah, and I've never heard someone say "I love that Bach song." Unless they want to sound like a musical dope.

by Superjuice Sun Dec 01, 2024 6:21 pm

I was hoping guys would list more top ten Rush "songs."

by StevenCressler Mon Dec 02, 2024 1:26 am

I love that Bach song that had cellos in it

by Temple of Blood Mon Dec 02, 2024 8:31 am

No Bastille Day? That's probably my #1.

And I say this dictionary definition is wrong!

By this logic, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber, "Sing songs," and I'm not ready to admit that!

...yet.

Liking my own post again.

4. And You and I
3. Siberian Khatru
2. Close to the Edge

Thank you, Nelson Pearl, for all the years of fine drumming!

I don't have time for this Bravado.
