R.I.P. Neil. You were one of the great ones.
Favorite Rush song?

RIP Neil!
“Natural Science,” the last song on Permanent Waves, is my favorite.

Neil was perhaps the greatest drummer in the history of rock. Certainly in the running as the most technically perfect. Just an amazing musician.
RIP.

Not necessarily a deep track, but the energy they bring and how the crowd is just completely engaged is what made Rush so great live
Great band, RIP Neil.
Probably my favorite
followed by Trees / Working Man but agree, 1 is hard to pick. 5 perhaps.

One of the few bands out there that I would state were drummer driven. He wasn't just "The Timekeeper", but he definitely was the lead instrument driving their music.
I'm not a Rush Nerd...I really only love MP, and like Permanent Waves and Signals as far as full albums are concerned. Moving Pictures, though...it's a perfect album. I'd say it's in my top 5 for certain. The tracks are perfectly placed and perfectly paced, perfectly performed and perfectly written.
It's also a perfect sounding album. I've never heard an album that sounded great on every stereo I ever listened to it on. It's like whatever stereo you're playing it on, it's impossible to crank the volume too loud.
The 1st CD I ever bought was Moving Pictures. I had about 10 years of stereo snobbery by then and when I decided to jump in, my first thought after buying the player was "OK, what's the best sounding album I've ever heard?"

LOL!!!
This guy in the "first listen reaction" video has a bad reaction when the song gets to the end....

None. Once I hear that terrible voice, I switch stations. They were as awesome as Led Zeppelin was...... errrrr shitty...
You are so wrong it's painful.
This coming from a guy that hates Pearl Jam. Let me guess, you also like Dave Matthews????
DMB sucks and Pearl Jam itself is great. I just don't like Eddie's voice.
So, we're basically in the same place.
Im surprised you don’t like DMB, I want to punch myself when I hear that terrible music.

Rush is a tough one for me... I play drums so obviously NP is a God. I mean, he’s amazing.
Musically, I love everything about rush as well. Great musicians and creative.
But I absolutely HATE geddy’s vocals. I can’t get over it. Rush is like a beautifully cooked steak ruined by way too much salt.

This a thousand times. I respect the musicianship of Rush greatly, but that adenoidal voice ruined every one of their songs for me.
