I click "Best Progressive Rock Bands of All Time," and okay, Pink Floyd was first. But right after them, the actual best progressive rock band of all time.
I scroll down to look for other lists, and apparently, every single list that includes "Best" in its title has the Rush logo. They have a huge fanbase for a good reason. Good bands should have massive fanbases, and this one made "good" great.
Best band ever, in my opinion. There are a lot of great bands around for a period of time. Rush has been a part of my life since 1976 and will be until I die, I think.
It's amazing how different every album is from the previous ones. The music from Rush always touches me - makes me happy, sometimes even brings a few tears. Always full of emotion. Great musicianship, nice guys, great fans! I've made a few friends for life through Rush. Thanks for that as well!
