Ratty jean jackets — and pocket protectors. Chess fanatics and potheads. Greasers and nerds. How have seemingly two seemingly separate communities, with the entire empire of coolness standing between them, taken the same band to their hearts? That’s the paradox of Rush.
"And the meek shall inherit the Earth"
Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in August 1968, in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. The band is composed of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist and backing vocalist Alex Lifeson, and drummer, percussionist and lyricist Neil Peart.
"What can this strange device be?"
Rush possesses 24 gold records and 14 platinum (3 multi-platinum) records.Rush's sales statistics place them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band. Rush's worldwide album sales are estimated at over 40 million units.
Thank you Geddy, Alex, and Neil for the hundreds of hours of enjoyment, for expanding my mind and proving that Music Matters.
