Worst Rush Songs

The Top Ten
1 Rivendell

Wow I somehow knew this song would be number 1 on this list and I would agree

I think Rivendell isn't their best, but its isn't their worst

No this and test for echo are ausome this list has underrated songs

2 Tai Shan

This song is the only song that I hate off of Hold Your Fire. Sure, the album opens with Force Ten, which is a upbeat, happy song before jumping into the magnificent Time Stand Still (The only bad thing about that song is the crappy music video). After those two songs, the rest are mediocre, but still good... save for Tai Shan. This song is just plain garbage. At least I Think I'm Going Bald had a good riff in spite of the lyrics. This song has nothing.

The only Rush song that's really worthy of the title of worst Rush song in my opinion, it's not terrible, it's just nothing special. Superconductor should not be higher than this on the list, and Rivendell should not be #1, nothing else on this list is even remotely bad, its all great except this song

The only rush song I don't like. And that's saying something because Rush is my favorite band.

This is a Pop song by Rush the same band who made 2112 a 20 minute masterpiece made this...

3 Scars

Catchy bass lines here though...

4 BU2B2

This song is the shortest Rush song in history, beating out former record holder Hope from Snakes and Arrows. Despite its lack in length, it is simply an OK song. Not bad... just insignificant.

Geddy Lee singing lyrics against some strings. Great, but... nothing too much.

5 Dog Years

One of the lamest metaphors Peart ever used. This should be first.

This and Tai Shan are the only actually bad songs on this list

Definitely my least favorite song by them.

This song rocks!

6 Anagram (For Mongo)
7 Garden Road

The lyrics on this song, which were written by Lee, are in no way comparable to Neil's lyrics. But that doesn't mean this song is bad.

Come on this is a good song

Come on I love this song

8 Good News First
9 Superconductor

Those 'superconductor' back vocals are so silly, boy I hate that song just because of that!

10 War Paint
The Contenders
11 Hand Over Fist
12 Half the World
13 Second Nature
14 Heresy

nah this is a great tune

15 Test for Echo

Such uncreative lyrics, sung boringly and drably.

For some reason I always liked this song

16 I Think I'm Going Bald

This is one of my favorite Rush songs. Why? Because to all the people saying "Muhh, the lyrics are stupid", "Muhh, the riff is taken from 'In the Mood'" that's exactly why it's great! It's a comedic song that borrowed one of the greatest riffs Lifeson has ever written! Because Rush was a hard rock band, not a prog band. They didn't care about the meaning of the song and the relevancy of the lyrics. They just wanted to write an awesome hard rock song people could rock out to. There are so many worse Rush songs than this. "Tai Shan", "Rivendell", "Madrigal"... And in my opinion, "Tom Sawyer", "Witch Hunt", and "Hemispheres" are worse than this one.

This song has a good riff, but the way Geddy belts the god awful lyrics makes overshadows the riff. This song is the only bad song off of Caress of Steel and one of few bad Rush songs.

Seriously? How is this not first? I don't think I even need to explain why this gets my vote. The worst song on the worst album.

My least favorite overall album is probably Snakes and Arrows.

17 You Bet Your Life
18 Mr. Soul
19 Totem
20 Ghost of a Chance

The song isn't complete crap, but it does suck. It's a shabby attempt at a love song. They've done better sounding Love songs in the past like Tears and even did better ones later on such as Halo Effect. This one, however, just blows!

This song's okay, but I'm not crazy about it. Personally, from Roll the Bones, I prefer Dreamline. But, overall, I have to agree that this is not Rush's best.

The most flat, depressing, negative sounding thing I've EVER heard from this legendary trio! Also, Geddy, Y U No like Tai Shan? That's a relaxing song.

What? I just listened to this. How is test for echo worse than this? This should be number one!
