All right...who here on GC is a fan of prog rock's greatest accomplishment? (And, arguably, Canada's greatest accomplishment too?) I'm talking, of course, about RUSH! I'm going to see them for the fourth time next month when they come down to Atlanta...and I can't wait! Who else loves RUSH?

My main hookup saw them last month, He said they kicked ass. He grew up listening to them, but I've never really cared for them personally.
Saw them on the 9th, and they played for 3 1/2 hours, no opening band. Amazing. Can't stop listening to Earthshine, La Villa Strangiato, Beneath Between and Behind, and Virtuality right now

What I've heard from them I've liked. I ocassionally listen to Limelight or Tom Sawyer. Never got too deep into Rush. But Canada's greatest achievement is undoubtedly The Great White North and Bob And Doug Mckenzie.
Funny you should mention them... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI701nDLArM&feature=related"]The Larger Bowl Intro[/ame]
I appreciate RUSH but mostly Alex Lifeson. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78D00dYOBrM"]YouTube - Rush - La Villa Strangiato at Pinkpop 1979[/ame]
Seen them live three times so far, and I planning on buying tickets for as many Clockwork Angels tour dates as possible.

Right?! As a drummer myself, I can't help but be envious of that thing.... Talk about bling...he's got gold-plated hardware!
Good rockin' RUSH song. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLoUGYxR0uM&p=F7A49ADDF345E08C&playnext=1&index=3"]YouTube - Rush - Finding My Way - Live 1975[/ame]
Who doesn't what? Break drumsticks? Obviously all drummers do, including myself...I just enjoyed watching him discard the broken stick, pick up a new one, and keep going so flawlessly. You can tell he's broken thousands of sticks before, haha.
