Reviewing a band

For this weeks blog, I want to talk about a band called Rush. Rush is a three piece band with Geddy Lee as the vocalist and bassist, Alex Lifeson as the guitarist, and Neil Peart as the drummer.  Rush was formed in 1968 at Toronto, Ontario with, Lifeson, drummer at that time John Rutsey, and bassist at that time Jeff Jones. Jones left the band for an unknown reason, later being replaced by Lee. Their first self-titled album, gained local popularity, but one of their songs, Working Man, was played at a radio station in Cleveland, Ohio. Instantly, they scheduled a tour in the United States. A few weeks before the tour starts, Rutsey had to leave the band due to health issues. Lee and Lifeson quickly held auditions and eventually selected Peart as their drummer. After the tour, Rush released their second album, Fly by Night, and managed to sell over one million record with their songs Fly by night and Making Memories. Their forth album 2112 (pronounced twenty- one twelve), managed top sell over three million albums in the United States only with their single; 2112, Temple of Syrinx, and Overture. They also released several other albums such as Moving pictures (selling over four million albums with their singles Limelight, YYZ and Tom Sawyer), Permanent Waves ( selling over a million albums with their singles The Spirit of Radio and Freewill) and Signals ( selling over a million albums with their single Subdivisions),

            If you never heard of Rush, I would highly recommend it. They are a rock band that influenced many bands such as Metallica, Rage Against the Machines and Dream Theater. The songs I would recommend listening to are Limelight, Subdivisions, Tom Sawyer, YYZ, and The Spirit of Radio. Over 40 years, Rush is still together, and currently creating a new album that is on the way.
