I have to say…Rush is an awesome band with really cool lyrics in addition to their vaunted musicianship, mostly bolstered by Neil Peart’s incredible lyrics and drumming, and Alex Lifeson’s underrated and underappreciated rock guitar riffs, not to mention Geddy Lee’s instinctive and awesome bass and keyboard playing.
Lee’s voice is an argument for another thread. Like Neil Young, its always going to be love/hate.
I admire Rush for being an intelligent rock band that perservered during the era of hair metal bullshit and stayed true to themselves.
Hats off to Rush!
