They're long lost twins of different ages for sure.
hes a legendary drummer, if for the size of his kit alone.

I think Rush was absolutely brilliant up through Roll The Bones, and then they dried up on the songwriting front. They still produce SOME good music, but I never found them magical from start to finish, like I did the earlier works. For me, Hemispheres through Signals are the most magical years.

Yup, Rush is good.

My favorite song is Red Barchetta...

I'd say Moving Pictures or Hemispheres are the best albums.

Although, Snakes and Arrows was an awesome concert!!!

I think my favorite Rush album is Exit Stage Left even though it's "only" a live album.

This band is good.

Geddy has one of the greatest voices in rock. Fuck haters.

jackhammer · 09-04-2008, 05:37 PM

No....Geddy lee's voice is terrible but I am quite partial to Rush.

Some faves:

A Farewell To Kings
Moving Pictures
Grace Under Pressure
Hold Your Fire

Seriously? He wails man...like a champ.

I think Geddy's voice has definitely improved over the years. Up until Moving Pictures, it definitely had room for improvement. It used to be really harsh, although the music made up for it's weakness.
