Without question, Canada’s Rush was one of the most interesting rock groups to emerge from the 70s, going through synth-rock in the 80s, and then reclaiming their hard rock legacy in the 90s and 00s. When they get it all going—Neil Peart’s fabulous, stuttering drumming and intense lyrics, Geddy Lee’s bass playing in counterpoint with his atmospherically impossible vocals, Alex Lifeson's soaring guitar riffs—Rush push beyond album rock into extraordinary bursts of sound. Here’s hoping they spend another decade in the limelight!
