The Least Played Song Off All 19 Rush Albums
With an impressive 19 studio albums to their name, Rush have explored a great deal of their catalog log, to the point where even the least played song off each LP, in many cases, still has a rather high count.
From the 1974 self-titled debut anchored by the breakthrough radio hit "Working Man" — and lone record with drummer John Rutsey — through their final work in 2012's Clockwork Angels, the Rush catalog offers a staggering range in style and songcraft.
From their hard rockin' Led Zeppelin-loving roots to an increasingly ambitious prog outfit plenty capable of crafting multi-part side-long epics to radio-friendly and thought-provoking to new wave and art rock, the Canadian power trio (now a four-piece in a reunion era with new members Anika Nilles and Loren Gold) have always done one thing, which is push themselves.

Prog fans are a particularly devoted bunch and their familiarity with deep cuts from all era have afforded Rush the ability to bring many of those songs to the stage. Playing 20 to 30 songs or so a night left Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart a lot of room to dust off some old favorites and cycle through a multitude of hits. And, in at least once instance, the least played song off an album is still quite the popular live track!
You'll still come across a small handful of songs that have been played less than 10 times total live. And, for fun, we've included the date of the last time Rush played these songs. Maybe you were at one of the shows! Or maybe they'll play one of these at their upcoming Sphere residency!
