Very hard to choose from a career & discography that spreads close to 4 decades. 
Tomorrow i could create a totally different list. Tongue


It's funny, my fave song of theirs has always been Natural Science, but it's not in your Top 7!

Like i said, choosing 7 Rush songs is quite difficult, as they never released anything bad. 
They released 19 studio albums + their covers album. Plenty to choose from. Smile

Natural Science
Cygnus X-I Book II
Cygnus X-I
Xanadu
Jacob's Ladder
2112
The Camera Eye


I'll go with that.... if you'd had asked the 15 year old Jared, then Signals and GUP would have featured more prominently but they don't get played as much these days...

So tempting just to pick the seven tracks from Moving Pictures LOL. Anyway..

1) Tom Sawyer
2) YYZ
3) Freewill
4) Xanadu
5) Subdivisions
6) Jacobs Ladder
7) Red Sector A

only one track from the seventies but Xanadu represents everything about that era I love about them. 80's Rush is where it's really at for me and mainly those first 4 albums.
