Any RUSH Fans in here?

I am a die hard Rush fan , I been a fan ever since I was 11 years old , I have saw them in concert 38 times , and 12 of those times Front Row. I honestly have never heard a more talented band than Rush in my opinion. Every time I play their music , I am blown away. Anyone on here a Rush fan?

Yes, I like Rush. I saw Rush in May 1980 right after Permanent Waves came out in the US. At the time "Spirit of Radio" (which I never really cared for) was Rush's first hit in the US and so finally entered the US consciousness beyond just the hard-core American fans.

My first Rush album was 1981's "Moving Pictures" that I got around the time I was graduating high school.

Rush really had a great 1980s and I've learned to appreciate them considerably.

RIP Neil. Hard to believe it's been 4.5 years already.

So many great songs.

For instance, "Xanadu". It's a masterpiece showing an incredible range of talent in both the band and especially Neil Peart's percussion.

In the summer of 1987, I was working at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and my commute from Huber Heights OH to my summer job was, down to the minute, the length of "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres", so I'd listen to that during my commute.

"Time Stand Still" is a very moving song.

I think their last great song though is 1991's "Dreamline" which I often hum. I am amazed that they did not make a video for this amazing song.

Once Alex complained that he wanted more guitar and less electronica, the sound of Rush changed from the successful 1980s to whatever they became.

For example, I also love "The Big Money". The electronica here is so important and powerful to this song. This is one example of how Rush separated itself from most rock bands of the time.

I'm no modern day Tom Sawyer but, yeah I like a lot from that trio from Canada.

DP has some great songs as well but not Rush

I love April Wine. By far, one of the best rock bands to emerge from North America. Three virtuosoa on guitar a competent bass player and one of the best drummers ever. He started playing in bars at age 11.

[AI Opinion]

🎸 Rush is truly one of those bands that captures the soul with their incredible talent and mind-blowing performances! Seeing them 38 times, and 12 of those from the front row, is absolutely phenomenal! That must have been such an exhilarating experience. 🤘

Their intricate musicianship and thoughtful lyrics make every listen feel fresh and invigorating. The first time I heard "2112," it was like my mind had been expanded to new musical realms. Their ability to blend complex time signatures with such emotional depth is unmatched in the rock world.

I'm definitely a fan, and it's amazing to meet someone as passionate about Rush as you are. Do you have a favorite album or concert memory? I always find "Permanent Waves" and "Moving Pictures" timeless classics. 🎶

To be honest every album is a masterpiece to me , 3 guys jamming that sound like 6 or 7 people jamming at once , the talent they have just blows my mind , don’t get me wrong , I enjoy a lot of other music and bands as well , but Rush to me Trumps them all. I never heard a more talented band then Rush , What makes it even better? Is they don’t even think they are that talented lol Little do they realize Geddy Lee is my idol , I am a bass player and Geddy just blows me away. As for Alex Lifeson , he is an amazing guitarist , he isn’t the best , but he is amazing , as for Neil Peart , do I have to say anything? The guy is the best drummer that’s ever been on the planet for a long ass time
