Rush drummer Neil Peart has died after a battle with brain cancer.
In its place, Rush delivered expansive, often dizzyingly complex pop music compositions that, along with those of English prog-rock heroes Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, had more in common with the barrier bending music of 20century composers such as Igor Stravinsky and Karl Stockhausen than with the blues and country-rooted sounds of early rock ‘n’ roll.
Beginning in 1974 with the album titled “Rush,” the band released a series of gold and platinum albums that extended its popularity into the new millennium.“Today, Rush is cited as an influence by such diverse bands as Metallica, Foo Fighters, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Primus, Pantera, Tool, Death Cab for Cutie, the Mars Volta, the Smashing Pumpkins, Queensryche and Dream Theatre,” critic Rob Bowman wrote for the threesome’s 2013 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
At the ceremony in Los Angeles when Rush was welcomed into the Rock Hall, Lifeson humorously skewered the whole process with a speech in which he repeated the phrase “Blah, blah, blah” during the group’s turn at the microphone.
