Genre: Progressive, Hard Rock
About: Does Rush even need an introduction? Here you will find about the first half of Rush's impressive body of work. Formed in Toronto, Ontario, Rush quickly expanded their sound past the original hard rock formula and became some of the front runners of the burgeoning progressive rock scene around the world. Each member has much technical skill, and the complex songwriting draws heavily from many ideas and otherworldly concepts. After joining in as drummer in 1974 before their first U.S. tour, Neil Peart assumed lyric writing duties for the band, adding more of a fantasy and science-fiction element. Rush rapidly rose to the status of a talented band not to be ignored. They have become one of the most successful musical acts in history, placing them third behind the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in consecutive gold or platinum studio albums, and have influenced a variety of acts in the progressive, metal, and alternative genres.
