Okay so we still have 13 "declared" voters + some on/off contributors. I guess it will suffice. Gonna make a new thread in TOP 10s and Lists for that - here's the link.

Good, that means I'm courageous. I love Rush and neo prog... I even love Duke.

I am surprised at the relatively low interest in this project, given how many Rush fans we have on the site. It is okay to not like Rush, as it is okay to like them. We members are not the arbiters of taste but we do like to promote what we enjoy as we explore new musics and old favorites.

I'm with you. Didn't post earlier because I found I was posting too much and taking a short break.

I can see your point. In the same time, I feel obliged to defend this format. Many times we see List or Polls that basically boil down to two-three word comments without much reasoning. To me, it's fine too. BUT. The ultimate goal is to incite discussion, because I believe progressive music - especially the big names - generate much passion, some of us listen to them and enjoy it for decades, so I'm sure there is much to be said about their best songs. Knowing what other people like is interesting in itself, but the oldest question in the world - Why? - is what I'm getting at. The point format was took straight from NBA basketball forum, realgm.com, which specializes in detailed, knowledgeable dissection of the game and its intricacies. Participants of similar projects, i.e. "Best Player of the Year", "Best Defensive Seasons Ever" etc. not only name their picks, but also politely argue why is that the case. I can give you one example of such thread. I must say that, back in the day, I've learnt a lot even about the players/teams I was familiar with. Hopefully the same will be true with this project. Perhaps other people's picks - and reasoning - will make us appreciate some albums much more than before? Maybe we will find new tastes and quirks to the stuff we already know? Or, even, try the underappreciated records for the first time? In case of Genesis Project, I listened to Duke for the first time in years, and warmed to it. Also I spent much more time with W&W and ATTW3 than usual, so that's a bonus... aaand I had to check out some songs from Genesis Archives for the first time ever (thanks Cristi )

I'm not into Rush as much as I am Genesis, but I would still be down, because I really enjoy the format.

I'm game. It will be interesting to see which gets the most points - a hit or a deep track? Only one way to find out. It's all in fun as long as we do not get overly fan-boyish about our preferences. Besides, seeing a non-favorite get a lot of support may be a good opportunity to see something new about a particular tune. That's one of the reasons we are all on this site, right?

No, not a band I enjoy really... and I don't think I would spend time for such a thing on any band at the moment.
