    Love you guys! But I am AMAZED that you HAVEN'T reviewed XANADU yet (by Rush, NOT Olivia Newton John), especially as much as you love Rush. Been a Rush fan since early 80's, and I agree with many who say that Xanadu is their greatest MASTERPIECE. PLEASE make sure it is NOT the studio version, which is very good, but nothing compares to their 1981 (Exit Stage Left) performance. You WILL be blown away. I am sure it's already been requested 100 times already.

    It's so beautiful how Rush was able to stay an independent band with very little label backing their whole career and have so much success. It was all talent and constant touring that got them noticed until "Moving Pictures" They had a lot of negative critics back then, but their popularity on the FM Rock radio stations kept 'em going and getting bigger anyway, Bet their induction into the Hall of Fame was even sweeter because of that.

    YES, some Rush. This the first song Rush fans heard after their epic 2112 album. Speaking of 2112, that's where you guys need to go. It's a whole album side but maybe instead of doing three videos one day, you could just do 2112.
    But I would also live for you guys to check out the Garden from their last studio album Clockwork Angeles. I've been a Rush fan from the beginning in 1974 & the Garden is one of my favorite Rush songs ever.

    No dummies in a RUSH crowd. That was one of the coolest things about their concerts. RUSH was special, that’s the simplest way to put it. It’s one of the bands that makes me wish for the Rock and Roll Time Machine to take deserving youngsters back and show them how it’s done! Impossible to describe that experience in those days. I’d be a great tour guide. I took many newbies to many concerts and it was always a pure blast! They were always blown away. Wow was the most common word.

    Rush is fun because they went through so many phases. Here they're in their pure prog phase. That was 2112, A Farewell to Kings, and Hemispheres. After Hemispheres they admitted they simply couldn't keep up that sort of complicated prog rock energy and raise families at the same time, so they dialed it back. Personally, my favorite Rush album is the 1985 album Power Windows. If y'all haven't reacted to "Marathon" yet, you should. That's possibly my favorite Rush song ever.

    My personal favorite Rush album, and I've been a fan since their first album hit when I started high school.

The bass is phenomenal in it, and the drums not to shabby either.

    I have been waiting for a few YEARS for you guys to get here! Love the reaction as usual! So this was the very first song from Rush that I heard on headphones back in 1978 when I was 12 years old and it completely and totally blew my young mind!! Once again, Neil Peart writes lyrics in a song that can be construed as prophetic. The Royal Crown and Illuminati still owns us just like we know they did in medieval times. "The more things change, the more they stay the same", as Neil said in yet another song! In this song Neil asks, "Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart??" Unpack it guys, we know the rulers are currently (today) and have always been (including in medieval times) evil and enslaving to "We the people" of the entire world! Our rulers need to be of the heart not the wars and suffering they have inflicted upon us to feed their greed. That is what Neil Peart is capable of professing elegantly in the grandeur of a remarkable piece of music and you can listen to this album over and over again and never ever be bored! Do Xanadu next, it will blow your minds, I promise!

    Rush in my humble opinion, was and is one of the Greatest Bands of all time. I wore their records out many years ago and I'm now 62 years old and still love them as much as back then.

    Saw Rush live during their Farewell to Kings tour back in 1978. Still one of my top five concerts of all time...three ultra talented and creative musicians playing to perfection for two plus hours.

    Yes, this is one of my favorite Rush albums. If you guys have not checked it out yet, listen to closer to the heart from this album. Neil quotes that song in this song.

    My cousin got Farewell To Kings on cassette tape back in the day and that was my first introduction to Rush. Sadly he died when he was 14 and Closer to the Heart always reminds me of him and I cried when I heard them perform it live in 1992 💕

    Rush is the #1 band that I regret never seeing. I believe this song may have been my first exposure to Rush when I was about 15. At that age I was still mostly caught up listening to the music and the chorus and not the deeper meaning of the songs I head but, Rush has always amazed me that so much sound comes from a trio.

    Rush is a group of three irreplaceable (yes I know Neil is the “new guy”) members, a rarity. Their chemistry along with their musicianship, song writing and “we’ll do it our way” mentality made them who they are.

    While college students in the late 70s were listening to Elvis Costello or The Talking Heads, those of us who aspired for rock with a thinking-person's soul were listening to Rush. This was a band that navigated through the late Zep era, with kids blasting Nugent or BOC or AC/DC from their Jensens in their beat-up Gremlins. Rush were what "those kids" listened to...when secretly, every single musician I knew put them high on their personal fave list.

    As a classically trained guitarist this is one of my all-time favorite Rush pieces.The classic overture is fantastic. Over the years I have had conversations about musicianship when it comes to various groups. I am not saying this just because they are my Canadian boys. Their change overs are some of the best ever, especially for a three piece band. We talked about this for days when it came out. I played it until the album was almost worn out. I was in another world, like I am now. My son loves this. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.

  • @stevencosta2432

    Rush was a touring band that had little radio play due to the long, intricate songs they sang. Tom Sawyer was unusually short for them. They fought with their label demanding they write 3-4 minute songs made for the radio. They were ordered to write radio playable songs after the Caress of Steel album (my personal favorite) with its 19 and 12 minute songs. So they wrote 2112, a rock opera that comprised one side of the LP and over 22 minutes.

  • @davidmel2158

    This is the album that started my RUSH journey after seeing them warm up for Blue Oyster Cult in 1978. My brother went out the day after that concert & bought AFTK which had just come out. That concert changed my life. As a drummer, I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. I mean Albert Bouchard of BOC is no slouch behind the kit, but the magic I felt from Neil was transcendent. The next year when Hemispheres came out, we slept out for tickets & I was able to see them for their first headlining tour from the 4th row right in front of Geddy. Still to this day, the loudest concert I have ever been to & to this day they are still my favorite band.

    Neil Peart was one of the best lyricists of all of rock history. GOAT drummer AND GOAT lyricist!. As a fan for over 40 years, I mostly listened to the early to mid era. But I just picked up a boxed set of their later albums and their later stuff is amazing too! I am really enjoying going through those albums. There is NO bad Rush era. Amazing from beginning to end. I am about to check out Geddy Lee's audio book " My Effin life." I am really looking forward to it! (As soon as i finish the book I am currently listening to.)

      Also, Sept 12 was Neil Peart's birthday. Maybe you could pay homage to him by not doing three songs that day, but instead do the 2112 Concept album side? It is a concept album side and it is spectacular! Rush was not doing very well. They were under pressure to be more commercialized. They decided if they were going to fail, it would be on their own terms making their own music. 2112 took off and was a success. They then had the ability to do their own music their own way because of that success. It is one of the greatest album' sides of all time -- a true masterpiece! (The other side is dang good too, BTW.)

    The first time I saw them, I was just tagging along with my friends to see a concert from a band I never heard of. This album had just come out and they were touring for it. I fell in love with them, and this is still one of my favorite albums. It's the 2nd one of a five-album streak of brilliance. And this song has always been on of my favorites. The way the bass bounces around is so fun! Also,. the lyrics feel so... current. I swear it could have been written today as opposed to over forty years ago. I love the drama in this song. I love how it ends on "Can't we find the minds to lead us closer to the heart?", and then you flipped the vinyl over and the first song on the 2nd side was "Closer to the Heart", which then recommended what is needed to address the problems in "A Farewell to Kings".

    The pop up at the end for Rush's "Losing It" you really should do that song. The story in it is phenomenal. It's also the first time Rush brought in an outside musician to play violin on the track. Amber I guarantee it will become one of your favorite songs, knowing a little about your taste now.

    Afterimage (Grace Under Pressure Album)
    Middletown Dreams (Power Windows Album)
    Superconductor (Presto Album)
    Roll the Bones (Roll the Bones Album)
    Animate (Counterparts Album)
    I love everything Rush, but those albums in the mid-late 80's and early 90's are some of the stuff I really attached to. I think you would get some awesome reactions to anyone of those songs.
    Thanks for the great videos!
