RUSH had an image (sound) problem in the early 70's...they sounded like so many other bands they did not get the full recognition they might have if their "own" sound (even though it changed over time) emerged to separate them from the crowd...

As far as drummers and the GOAT...in the genre of rock and roll there is one undisputed master and it's Carmine Appice...

check his creds and who he influenced... Carmine Appice - Wikipedia

Thanks for sharing the link. I never knew his true roots. RIP Mr. Peart

RIP I always was a Rush fan. I have seen them live a few times. They are the thinking mans rock band. With songs like Trees and Brilliant Red Barchetta they give you something to think about that was way ahead of it's time. Plus the hits like Limelight were also great songs. RIP you will be missed.

I always thought their piece of work was 2112. Had people tell me they were huge rush fans but they never heard of 2112.:confused2::drink:

My brother loved guitars and called Rush "The greatest band ever." I bought Tshirt to wear to his funeral... my first choice would have been 2112 but I didn't think that a lot of church members would understand or appreciate the pentagram. The entire 1st side had an Jules Verne/Orwellian type message.

This one hurts. Rush was such a part of my adolescence.
They were the only band that I saw as a teenager and also took my son to see - he is also a fan
His most recent birthday I bought him Hemispheres on vinyl.

See ya Professor.
