[Rush "What do you want to hear live?" Petition]

Yes. The Rush Petition is back up and running; new and improved. The band has been known to reference this site in the past when deciding what songs to include on their setlist. I'm not sure how much influence it really has though. The top three last time were The Camera Eye, Jacob's Ladder and Lakeside Park; and they didn't play any of those. Irregardless, it's fun to fill out. Personally, I'd like them to do the entire Fountain of Lamneth (a severely underrated song in my opinion) but the chances of that are probably slim to none. They're doing things a little differently this time too. From the site:

The goal this time around is to encourage the band to put together a set list that touches on the entire catalog in some way. It works like this - each person gets to select ONE song from each album (though you don't HAVE to cast a vote for each album in order to participate). Each individual is allowed to vote once. The final results will be submitted to Anthem/SRO, and we presume the band will probably take a look again (they've supposedly enjoyed the fan interaction via this site in the past).

The usual disclaimer: "'Petition' is probably too strong a word here, as we are not trying to 'demand' anything, and certainly no disrepect is intended. 'Request list' would perhaps be a better way to put this..." This is meant in a spirit of good fun.
