My playlist will always end with The Garden, such a special song considering the untimely loss of The Professor.

Natural Science is already on the list...

Little change.

3. Closer to the Heart

Hard to believe that #1 and #3 aren't already in there. Had to look several times.

First time I saw Rush was in 1979 on the Hemispheres tour. The power went out in the middle of Cygnus X-1 and the theater went dark and all you could hear was an unamplified drum roll before Neil figured out what was going on. Crowd chanted "finish it!" when the power came on ten minutes later, but they started up part 2 instead.

I have played Bastille Day on every Bastille Day since 1982. Including once in Europe where I had to go find a cassette of it used in Holland to keep the streak going

 2 - The Trees

 3  - Mission

2. The Twilight Zone

3. A Passage To Bangkok

2. The Necromancer

3. Witch Hunt

Would love to see all of these on there, but I think Bastille Day has the best chance. Some honorable mentions:

-Distant Early Warning: probably my favorite 80s Rush track post-Moving Pictures

-Show Don't Tell: I recently listened to Presto for the first time, and I thought the opener was honestly an outstanding track

-Animate: It hasn't made it into any of my votes, but it certainly is an excellent song

-Caravan, Clockwork Angels, Seven Cities of Gold: Probably my personal favorite songs off of Clockwork Angels, which I think is the best thing they ever did after Moving Pictures; would have loved to see anything from that album get on the list, but I'm not surprised it didn't.

One of my favs from the 90's Rush, but then there are so many that should be on this list.....I would have liked to see more from the 90s-2012.

Still a great playlist

Bastille Day

Witch Hunt

Animate

A little change for the last rodeo. Bastille isn't my favorite off Caress of Steel, but it certainly has the best shot of making it! It's very uplifting, almost "anthemic", no wonder they played it live extensively... I think it'd make a great closer to our playlist, honestly!

Witch Hunt is another kinda overlooked track, ofc it comes from the most revered album, but never left Sawyer or Limelight shadow. Also I admire how someone_else championed this song for months and would love to see it on the list - probably a lock if we made a TOP30 instead.

Animate, well, I listened to it twice this morning after reading this thread and it's a stellar 90s song, let's give it some love

Don't really have any stories to add, but a good friend of mine spent a summer in Canada in 2010 or so. He was very much into mathcore, metalcore, some other extreme subgenres, hip hop... but not a prog fan by any stretch of imagination. Two months there and, when he came back, he couldn't stop listening to RUSH. Now THAT'S one hell of an impact!
