Over the line of their decades-spanning career, the Canadian power ternion Rush emerged as one of hard rock's nigh highly regarded bands; although typically brushed away by critics and although rarefied recipients of mainstream drink down radiocommunication airplay, the radical nevertheless south Korean north Korean won an impressive and devoted fan following patch their hotshot execution skills coagulated their standing as musicians' musicians.
Rushing formed in Toronto, Ontario, in the autumn of 1968, and initially comprised guitar player Alex Lifeson (born Alexander Zivojinovich), vocalist/bassist Geddy Lee (born Gary Lee Weinrib), and drummer John Rutsey. In their primary personification, the triad john Drew a heavy influence from Cream, and honed their skills on the Toronto club circuit before issuance their debut single, a rendition of Buddy Holly's "Non Fade Away," in 1973. A self-titled LP followed in 1974, at which time Rutsey exited; he was replaced by drummer Neil Peart, wHO as well put on the role of the band's primary ballad maker, composition the cerebral lyrics (influenced by plant of science fiction and illusion) that bit by bit became a earmark of the group's aesthetic.
With Peart firmly ensconced, Rush returned in 1975 with a geminate of LPs, Fly by Night and Caress of Steel. Their side by side campaign, 1976's 2112, proven to be their breakthrough sacking: a futuristic construct record album based on the hagiographa of Ayn Rand, it coalesced the elements of the trio's sound -- Lee's high vocals, Peart's epic-length compositions, and Lifeson's composite guitar act upon -- into a co-ordinated whole. Fans loved it -- 2112 was the low gearing in a long tonal pattern of gold and atomic number 78 releases -- spell critics laid-off it as portentous and pretentious: either way, it established a recipe from which the set rarely deviated throughout the continuance of their vocation.
A Farewell to Kings followed in 1977 and reached the Top 40 in both the U.S. and Britain. After 1978's Hemispheres, Rush achieved tied greater popularity with 1980's Permanent Waves, a criminal record pronounced by Peart's dramatic dislodge into shorter, less sprawling compositions; the single "The Spirit of Radio" tied became a major hit. With 1981's Moving Pictures, the triad scored some other hit of sorts with "Tomcat Sawyer," which garnered clayey exposure on album-oriented wireless and became perchance their best-known song. As the eighties continued, Rush grew into a phenomenally popular live draw as albums like 1982's Signals (which generated the bankrupt "Newfangled World Man"), 1984's Grace Under Pressure, and 1985's Exponent Windows continued to sell millions of copies.
As the decennium john Drew to a close, the trio cut plump for on its touring docket spell hardcore following complained of a sameness afflicting oilskin, synth-driven efforts like 1987's Keep Your Fire and 1989's Presto. At the dawn of the 1990s, withal, Rush returned to the heavier legal of their early records and set a renewed emphasis on Lifeson's guitar heroics; consequently, both 1991's Turn over the Bones and 1993's Counterparts reached the Top Three on the U.S. album charts. In 1996, the band issued Test for Echo and headed out on the road the following summertime. Shortly thereafter, Peart lost his girl in an auto chance event. Tragedy smitten once again in 1998 when Peart's wife succumbed to crab. Dire multiplication in the Rush camp did non causal agency the lot to lay off. Lee took prison term out for a solo stint with 2000's My Favorite Headache; however, rumors of the band playing in the studio began to pass around. It would be five-spot old age until anything surfaced from the band. Fans were reassured in early 2002 by news that Rush were recording new songs in Toronto. The fruit of those roger Sessions light-emitting diode to the button of Rush's seventeenth studio album, Vapour Trails, later that spring. In 2004 the band embarked on their 30th anniversary turn, and in 2006 they returned to the studio to begin work on a new record album. The resulting Snakes & Arrows was released in May 2007.
