We’re joined by Canadian experts Martin Popoff (Rush books Author) & Perrin Wolfson (Rock & Metal Journalist) for a Rock & Roll Detention episode to reveal a Top 20 Rush “Deep Cuts” list. We discuss the challenges of narrowing down the selections to a reasonable number, define “what” constitutes a “Deep Cut”, & what kind of Tracks are “off limits”. Also, we share the amazing stories on our personal experiences listening to the music, the road trips to see Rush in concert all over Canada & the US, & the emotional reaction that certain songs trigger, much of which ties back to our age at the time & where we were all at in life. 50 years of Rush music & hundreds of Songs to select from, but only 20 make our “Setlist”!
