About this episode
Chris & Aaron return this week to discuss The Heavier Side of RUSH ; songs that kick a little harder from the legendary Canadian trio. RUSH , formed in 1968, and solidified in 1971 with a lineup of Geddy Lee (bass/vocals), Alex Lifes on (guitar), and John Rutsey (drums) would find aid in manager Ray Danniels and producer Terry Brown . The self-titled 1974 debut album was filled with hard rock numbers reminiscent of Led Zeppelin . The band would ultimately break on the strength of the song 'Working Man' receiving airplay on WMMS in Cleveland . Rutsey, however, would have to retire from the road due to health complications. Enter Neil Peart . The multi-talented drummer had incredible skill not only on the kit but would go on to become the band's principal lyricist. From that point, RUSH carved their own path; releasing trailblazing albums that straddled the worlds of hard and progressive rock; building a rabid following along the way. 40-plus years later and RUSH sit, rightfully, in the upper echelon of rock music history. The Heavier Side of RUSH In this long-form RUSH-themed episode, the guys share their personal take on RUSH's history, their influence, their legacy, and more.
