Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in 1968, known for their unique blend of progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal.
The band consists of Geddy Lee on vocals and bass, Alex Lifeson on guitars, and Neil Peart on drums and lyrics.
The band's early years were marked by a series of lineup changes and needing help finding commercial success.
However, the band finally found mainstream success with the release of their fourth studio album, "2112" in 1976.
The album featured the band's first major hit single, "The Temples of Syrinx," and was certified platinum in Canada and gold in the US.
Throughout their career, Rush released a total of 19 studio albums, including "A Farewell to Kings" (1977), "Hemispheres" (1978), "Permanent Waves" (1980), "Moving Pictures" (1981), "Signals" (1982), "Grace Under Pressure" (1984), "Power Windows" (1985), "Hold Your Fire" (1987), "Presto" (1989), "Roll the Bones" (1991), "Counterparts" (1993), "Test for Echo" (1996), "Vapor Trails" (2002), "Snakes & Arrows" (2007), "Clockwork Angels" (2012) and "Caravan" (2021).
Many of these albums have achieved critical and commercial success and have become staples in the progressive rock genre.
The band was also known for their elaborate and visually stunning live shows, which often featured elaborate lighting and pyrotechnics.
They have performed worldwide, selling out arenas and stadiums and have a dedicated fanbase and cult following.
Sadly, Neil Peart passed away in January 2020.
Still, the band's legacy lives on through their music and influence on generations of musicians and fans.
