An exciting group to know! me about rock music I really like the Rush group :



In August 1968 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, guitarist and singer Geddy Lee formed the band Rush, with Alex Lifeson on guitar and drummer Neil Peart. The first album of this trio Cream way, released in 1974 and offers only a pale copy of the English Led Zeppelin. Fly by Night of 1975, continues to bode well for their career, another group that gives in a hard rock technique. Caress of Steel in September 1975 began to draw attention to Rush, with two long pieces stretched into suites, openly eyeing progressive rock. The revelation occurred in 1976 with 2112, doubt was no longer allowed. A great band was born, with 2112 it is amazing to see the ease with which Rush varies its tempos, passes from acoustics to symphonic, from progressive to heavy with a pluck of a pick. The icing on the cake, the group has with Geddy Lee a singer with the unique voice, between Roger Daltrey and Jon Anderson for the ability to tame the treble. Follow Farewell to Kings (1977), Hemispheres (1978), Permanent Waves (1981) and Moving Pictures (1981) who finish installing Rush among the greats of the rock music and the hard.Rush then shows a rare capacity, that of to renew. The band greets the arrival of the 80s by integrating synthesizers to its music with brio. Without falling into new wave tics, Rush puts a good dose of pop in his hard progressive with, Signals (1982), Grace Under Pressure (1984), Power Windows (1985) and Hold Your Fire (1987). Then Rush returns to fundamentals with the energetic Presto (1989). This intense period is followed by the least brilliant phase of the group. Rush is looking a little in the early 90s and Roll the Bones (1991), Counterparts (1993) and Test for Echo (1996) are simply average albums.
