Canadian rock band Rush formed in August with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath-style rock. Gradually, the trio started to profile itself as a progressive rock band, not shying away from longer, complex songs and/or concept songs. The album "2112" was a first best selling business card. "Moving Pictures" which also included "Tom Saywer" concluded that second period. In the meantime, the shows were almost unique in the world. Thereupon Rush presented themselves as a synthi-rock band. The live album "Show of Hands" in 1989 closed this period, when Rush again brought the guitar to the forefront. Most prominently this happened on the album "Clockwork Angels" (2012).
Although the predicate "hard rock" or "metal" will always stick around Rush, the band makes forays into folk and renaissance music, jazz and even reggae.
Drummer Neil Peart writes most of the lyrics that often have their origins in mythology or the pure fantasy world. He is also regarded as one of the best rock drummers out there. Guitarist Alex Lifeson juggles difficult chords. Bassist Geddy Lee sings with a high, sharp, nasal voice, also plays keyboards and bass pedals.
