Howdy, J!
I am not very familiar with this group or their music, but I'd like to know a little bit about them. How did you first get interested in their music?

^^^^ they are ultra professional, talented, creative, and technically superb. :)
^^^my parents are huge fans, i've been listening to them since Roll the Bones (1991), apparently I used to run around singing that at the top of my lungs, but i dont remember cuz i was only 2. :P
^^fountain of lamneth. its about the journey of life, beginning to end
^its hard to have a favorite album, im torn between Caress of Steel (1975) and test for echo (1996).
the only member change was during the tour of their first album, the self-titled "Rush". John Rutsey the original drummer, couldnt complete the tour due to complication with diabetes, and he was replaced by neil peart. Same lineup ever since: neil peart-drummer, gary lee weinrib(geddy lee)-bass vocals synth, and alex lifeson - guitar.
i posted a quiz on ami-something (wrong or right, cant remember, lol... ill have more up when i get time. :)

How come Rush didn't have as many Top 40 hits in Canada as other legendary Canadian bands?

Speaking of which, I wonder why they didn't have top 40 hits in the U.S.?? ???

They did have 1 .. 'New World Man' reached US #21 in 1982
I should compile Rush's chart positions. I don't even know how many Top 40s they had in Canada, but I should

Yeah, that would be good to do. I'm curious about all their chart positions.

In Canada they probably did...but J. hasn't seemed to have been around much in the past week; I hope he comes back to answer these questions.
