One of those bands that split people down the middle - a lot of people hate Progressive Rock in general, and many disapproved of Peart's early fondness for Ayn Rand. While the band had always been an album rock (and later classic rock) radio favourite, Rush saw a decent boost to their popularity for their contributions to the video game series Rock Band - and another, unfortunately enough, following Peart's passing. They were probably best known for Geddy Lee's "wait, is that a guy?" vocals and prominent bass and Neil Peart's early Ayn Rand-inspired lyrics ( though he had distanced himself from her after some backlash, and it's really only the albums from Fly by Night through about Hemispheres where her influence is particularly apparent). Rush were a Canadian rock trio formed in 1968, although, listening to some of their songs, you'd never guess there were only three of them.
