Rush may not be your favorite band, but they are probably your favorite band's favorite band.

I swear Rush saved my life. Troubled teen with no Dad. My oldest Brothers were my best friends. They both went into the army and I was left with my Mom and her abusive boyfriend. Rush helped me escape reality and I Spent so many hours immersed in Everything Rush in the 80’s. Still…looking back to those days I would go back in a heartbeat and do it all over again just to relive the mind blowing alternate universe that Rush took me to every time I put on the headphones.

Rush. The greatest rock band ever. From another planet.
-
The most amazing bit, is that it was written to play live, with 12 & 6 string double neck, a 6 string guitar & 4 string bass double neck, keyboards, bass peddles and drums, by only 3 musicians. And Geddy still had some spare time for vocals 😂
-
After 41 years of listening to Rush, there are still so many of their songs that give me the chills every time I hear them. Xanadu is one of those songs. There will never be another band like Rush.
-
Neil Peart heard the world in a different way than the rest of us and knew exactly how a song should hit the brain. He was a musical genius.
-
As a musician I can never believe the talent of these guys! They are in a league of there own!!!
-
Rush is that band where when you turn the music up, it makes you feel so good and when you've forgotten all about them and come back to it and do the same, it's like what have i been missing.
-
Being a teenager in my bedroom looking at Tolkien illustrations, drawing Dungeons & Dragons maps and listening to Rush. Those were the happiest times.
-
Having played in a Rush tribute band, Xanadu was our evening closer which was given a standing ovation every time! My favorite still. ❤️🥰🥰
-
The vocals on that last "Oh is it paradise?" just give you goosebumps like...how?
-
NEAL was as MASTERCLASS as any drummer ever was or could ever dream to be. A TRUE PERCUSSION GENIUS!! R.I.P. Professor.
-
Can we talk about how criminally underrated Alex is?
-
The thing about Rush is, whether you were a guitarist, a bassist or a drummer, they appealed to your senses. Truly a musicians band.
-
I can’t help but smile watching beato listen with all the excitement of a child on Christmas morning. Truly an epic song played by epic musicians!!
-
Xanadu is amazing. La Villa Strangiato is what I consider their greatest song. This period is my favorite for rush. the 2112, Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres period. You talk about Geddy's slide but the amazing part is he's doing that with one hand, playing keyboard with the other and moog pedals with his feet. I've seen him do this several times live......while singing.
-
3 of the greatest musicians, songwriters, lyricists and performers ever to play music. EVER. 👍🏻😎 P.S. Neil wasn’t a drummer. He was a master percussionist and one of the best lyricists ever.
-
The end of an era. With Neil gone, we will never hear this again. We lost the most professional, talented, inventive group in the history of rock. Enjoy their work. Nobody can replace them.
-
Having seen them play Xanadu live at Maple Leaf Gardens on New Years Eve 1978 was an unbelievable thing to witness! The depth and complexity of their performance was mind-blowing for my 16-year-old self, especially as a fledgling bassist! Still just SO incredible to hear! Thank, Rick for featuring this!

NEVER GETS old. A true masterpiece of Rush, and Classic Progressive Rock. Bravo on Rick calling this one. There is not too many great 3 piece out there like Rush. Killer performance.
