Rush Band • Page 2

Absolutely tragic.

One of, if not, the best of all time.

 

RIP Neil.

 

Best of all time.
RIP

 

So sad. I'm going to listen to a bunch of Rush this weekend, especially the newer albums that I haven't spent much time with.

 

RIP to the legend

Just looking at his kit makes me drool.

 

Absolute gutpunch.

Already relistened to Hold Your Fire, "Bravado", "Dreamline", "Tom Sawyer". Gonna be a weekend full of Rush for sure.

"Lock and Key" doesn't get enough love on the list of absolutely titanic Neil performances.

 

One of the best drummers I've ever heard, if not the best. Fuck. RIP.

 

This is horrible news. One of the most influential drummers to my playing!

 

RIP Neil :(

 

Like any young 13 year old drummer I was a huge fanatic once upon a time. Was lucky to see them live once with my dad on the tour they played Moving Pictures in full + all the other hits. Was a formative experience for me

listening to Grace Under Pressure rn which is one of their most underrated albums imo

 

Neil was a bonafide genius, and he will truly be missed. In tribute, I present my favorite Neil moment where he corrects the pronunciation of his last name haha

 

Grace Under Pressure is one of my favorites of theirs, Distant Early Warning and Between the Wheels are top-notch Rush songs.

 

“Time Stand Still” is one that really gets its hooks in you if you pay attention to the lyrics

 

Time Machine tour? I'm so glad that I got to see them once, during that tour. RIP Neil.

 

Adore that tune.

 

Beyond the lighted stage is still on Netflix btw. Really great documentary.

 

I've been watching a ton of Rush content since Neil Peart's passing... various tributes, listening to old Rush favorites and live performances, Neil's drum solos... and just knowing he wrote much of Rush's lyrics... what an impactful rock and roll figure man...

And in terms of drumming, Peart didn't just write drum parts, they were compositions. One of my all-time favorite Rush tunes is Caravan from Clockwork Angels, just unreal songwriting and musicianship.

RIP Neil... I'd like to think he's up there playing drums with my dad... lost him to cancer as well, a few months ago. Just horrible stuff...

 

I've been on a leisurely journey to listen to every Rush album, a number of which I've never heard. It's been real satisfying so far.

First record is good!
Second record is great! Can't believe I never listened to this one before.
Caress Of Steel doesn't do much for me.
2112 side A is great, side B is a little forgettable, Passage To Bangkok is pretty oof

I've been on Farewell To Kings the past 2 weeks. I like this album considerably more than 2112. It feels like a sharpening of the sound from that album. Good stuff!

 

I can’t get over the fact that his IG is geddyimages

 

Finishing my discography run with @Larry David today! What a great band.

 

Give us a ranking of the albums when you’re done

 

Here's what my final list looks like:

Moving Pictures
2112
Hemispheres
Permanent Waves
A Farewell To Kings
Clockwork Angels
Signals
Grace Under Pressure
Power Windows
Counterparts
Snakes & Arrows
Vapor Trails
Test For Echo

I had a really hard time ranking their albums from different eras and I still feel a bit uncertain about my ranking haha
