Rush Survivor Finished: Red Barchetta wins!

[Mosh]

Rules will be similar to SMX's Survivors, with few differences.
- 2 songs per release get promoted to the finals
- songs that survive till the end of album rounds also get promoted to the finals
- until we get to final 10 songs you can vote for as many songs as you want
- in Top 10 you can vote for 3 songs until we get to Top 5, from then till Top 3 you can vote for 2 songs and from Top 3 till the end you can only vote for 1 song - if you vote for more songs, I just won't count your votes.

All studio albums are included.
I'll eliminate 1 to 5 songs per round, depending on ties etc.
Rounds last 3 days.

And here we go. It's the debut vs Fly By Night.

listening now, will vote later.

I see what you did there.

Need Some Love, In The Mood, Making Memories, In the End

Let the marathon begin

Wonder what songs will Stick it Out?

Best I Can, Making Memories, Rivendell, In the End, plus all the debut except the three best-known.
And on the debut, I wonder if Rush would have become just another Foghat if Peart had never joined.
I like to think not since Geddy and Alex have such great chemistry, but the debut is certainly missing that special something.

 

[Forostar]

Sorry for bumping in (and not playing along!) but I find the debut no more than a Led Zeppelin imitation.
Working Man is really cool, but I find the rest forgettable.

When Peart joined Rush got their own style.

How many are you taking out at a time Mosh?
Looks like you could drop a bunch here.

 

[Mosh]

Up to 5. I didn't eliminate more than 1 last round because there was a 6 way tie.
