Default Re: Salute To Rush

One of the things that I think is very cool about Rush is the fact that they were able to release the album 2112, and it was successful for them in 1976. I also love this entire album. I think the success of this album really got the studio off their back, and allowed them to do pretty much what they wanted to from that point on out.

For the more mainstream stuff my favorite songs are "Working Man" and "The Spirit of Radio" - it's hard to resist cranking up the volume whenever these come on the radio. Also, everyone likes "Tom Sawyer" - even the people that are not into Rush that much.

Another song I really like is "Red Barchett" - This is a very cool story and I like the background and inspiration for this song. Plus it's great musically. Rush is one of the few bands that can put together all of these elements successfully.
