Neil Peart on drums. Unbelievable. He earns his nickname “the octopus”.

I could live without the high Geddy Lee voice but great musician.

And it’s only three guys. Some of their stuff gets repetitive over time.

I saw them first in 1975 and being 16 it was awesome to me so some of my like for them results from that. But I love a lot of their stuff, especially the album 2112 and the song Tom Sawyer.

Their early stuff was more hard rock. Peart joined and got into the writing and gets into stories like Zeppelin did. Check out the story of “Trees”, it’s a pretty good message against identity politics and freedom.

His voice hasn't been that high since "Permanent Waves."

No slight against Rush (love them), but Pavement had one of my favorite lines ever . . . and it was about Geddy Lee’s voice.
