It seems we have a lot of Rush fans here. It also seems some of our Down Under folks haven't heard of the only worthwhile contribution Canada has ever made to music history. So here is the thread for all things Rush.

The drum solo at the end of this video is the reason I say that if Jesus had chose to play drums instead of save mankind, he would've been almost as good as Neil Peart.

Um, what about Neil Young aka The Godfather of Grunge?

I couldn't find a good copy of this, but if you listen to the album, the lead-up to the song is incredible.

I will very reluctantly give you that one...

There's no video, but the music speaks for itself...

**TerriLS** · 07-03-2009, 10:20 AM

It's fuckin' tough to find good vids of Rush. This is the best I could find for Working Man, unless I wanted one of the twenty Guitar Hero versions

**Adimos** · 07-03-2009, 11:36 PM

Probably their most famous...

**DesautocaD** · 07-04-2009, 02:17 AM

RUSH needs no thread to discuss their many wonders in holding it together for nearly forty years...they aint quitting anytime soon so don't bury them at all!!!

**Sopsneork** · 08-03-2009, 11:36 PM

OK.

I have listened and still l dont know their songs.

Yjey were alright, the singer reminded me a tiny bit of Ian Gillan (who also happens to be my dad....long story)

Cant say I was super impressed, especially with their looks

Bunch of fuglies I reckon, but YES, the drummer is good

Oh Deep Purple fame??

Yep

My dads name was Ian Gillan but gillan was spelt differently. I used to always get asked if I was Ian Gillans daughter, and I could honestly answer yes.

Saw Deep Purple in concert in 84 in Sydney. They were awesome
