Rush 1973 to 1982 On Track

More about the book

The journey of Rush, often hailed as "The World's Biggest Cult Band," traces their evolution from three suburban teenagers in Toronto to rock legends. Initially influenced by Led Zeppelin, they gained traction with their self-financed debut album. The pivotal moment came when drummer John Rutsey left, leading to the recruitment of Neil Peart, who brought exceptional drumming and lyricism. The band embraced the progressive rock movement, crafting iconic albums like "Fly By Night" and "Moving Pictures," ultimately evolving their sound with "Signals" in 1982.
