You haven't chosen to end the conflict in the middle east, therefore you are equally morally responsible with others who have made that choice. Unless of course we consider the material conditions or grounding factors in which that choice was made under.
Not a fair fight. Spirit of Radio, Freewill, Jacob’s Ladder, Natural Science. Amazing Record. And wait! There’s more. Wait, wait, then, there’s all the other records.
RusH was composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands. Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.
Make no mistake, Alex Lifeson is one of rock's greatest guitarists because he takes you to so many places. He can write heavy badass bluesy riffs, psychedelic soundscapes, weird proggy chord progressions, tasteful acoustic passages, New Wave-style flourishes. And he can play one hell of a face-melting guitar solo.
So few have ever been so intelligent in their lyrics without being terrible. These guys always did so with poise and grace while taking music and effects to a new level without sacrificing quality or the original message.

Greatest is queen zeppelin or the beatles. Althought rush in my opinion is better than all those except zeppelin, you just cant argue the best is something different then those three.
The wisdom of "if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." Many times people try to put two choices forward to you as either or; but really its a decision that has bad outcomes either way. Then they blame you.
Rush is my husband's favorite band. We've been married for 24yrs and this year (2024) is the first time I've ever given Rush a good listening to! I make myself sick lol I've missed out on so much but I'm glad to finally give them a chance 🤎🩵🤎
I will eternally give thanks to the music gods that brought these three talents (Lee, Lifeson, Peart) together to bring us so much joy, warmth, and entertainment. I am forever grateful. 🙏

@@littlenige This was honestly not widely agreed on until after Beyond The Lighted Stage came out, I've noticed public perception over the last decade has shifted big time, especially since Neil died. Back then I used to have to defend them constantly, these days I never run in to someone that doesn't at least respect their musicianship.
RUSH found ME. I moved into a house in 81 in Lakehurst NJ and there were two 8track cassettes someone left behind. One was Weather report (forget which) and moving pictures. I popped it in and that was it. Instant gratification. I was just a kid too never heard them before. It was fate. I was enamored by every song. I especially loved the bass. Couple years later started playing myself. Thank you boys!!
THE most original sounding band of all time. I cant think of one band that sound even remotely close to them. Blessed to have seen them in 2003. Thanks for all the memories Getty, Alex, and Neil!
My favourite part! I replay that part over and over when I listen to this song. The guitar tone and bass are so good and then Geddys vocals come in and just hit a home run. They must've known it sounded that good.
Yeah! The preceding solo section gets most of the notice, but that part coming out where Alex changes up the riff a bit and then Geddy has one of his most iconic vocal moments. So good.
It's a full time job staying ahead of the program though, and you might have to loop the loop backwards and progress against the flow the whole time. Im not sure if all of it or some of it is absolutely necessary, but i can't afford to get swept away while trying to find out.
This song always takes me back to sitting in the backseat of my Grandma's car! It had a grip on me instantly!! It was one of those songs that just seemed to captivate me yet I didn't really understand the lyrics at the time. All I knew was I loved this song and the line "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" just stuck with me. Thank you Rush for such incredible music!!!! I get the feeling we all know the exact moment when we became fans and this song was it for me. To be a kid again roaming Pensacola Florida!!! Thanks Rush for the soundtrack to those days!
This song changed my life. I was 16, I was literally red pilled seeing them live opening for Judas Priest. I was like 15 feet from the stage. Just blown away. Love them so much.
Lifeson's solo alone is crazy amazing. Add in Geddy with his growling bass, Peart doing Peart and you get a total transcendental experience. That's Rush.
Well let me yell, all about RUSH, I first heard them in 1973 and LOVED everything i heard, All of you need to think about how you feel inside and then make a choice once you decide to understand RUSH, mind and will is only the first faciet of the program, listen and learn as you will be tran sported to another reality.
The most intense part of the Geddys vocal sounded so over the top as a twelve year old boy, now 45 years later, in the world of today "Sounds About Right 👍" 💯
@ShallexYou're right on record sales. There are other metrics to form opinion on who's "best". Like musician ability/virtuosity, lyrical quality (intellectually speaking), number of albums recorded and dedication to live touring aspect of the band.
Hi everyone luv Rush since I was 15 or 16 yrs . I'm 54 yes young still luv them. Luv Time stand still and Fly by Night lot of great wonderful rock music ❤❤❤❤
Katie, you chose wisely. If they can't even vaguely comprehend how good RUSH are they are musically challenged. Of course, they may have other great qualities, so, as it always was, it's up to you. 😎
They say your first rush album is your favorite. If so, it is thus this one for me. Sometimes little things like spending 10 bucks for a cd on a rainy road trip at an Ohio truck stop are life changing.
My first rush concert I saw was moving pictures - I was instantly a huge fan. I wish I had witnessed permanent waves and farewell to kings - absolutely love that space in time - rip Neil
Took my 12 year old son to see Rush! All night people told him You have the Cool Dad! The when in College I flew him to Phoenix from Eugene Ore. (Ducks) to see one of Neil's last performances! Rush played YYZ which was the Greatest! Thank You Rush for making me the Cool Dad!
LOVE THIS SONG AND I AM A NEGRO! My step dad was a white dude from Ohio! He introduced me to Rush in 1982! One of My favorite Song's of All Time! I am just wondering, How did you guy's come up with the music? Drum's, Guitar Riff's ect.!? OFF THE FUCKING HOOK!!
I'm a brother too. I got into Rush about 1981 as a college freshman. Good music is just good. I used to switch this out with Funkadelic's Cosmic Slop. And kick in some Black Uhuru to blow folks minds.

Thank you Dad for introducing me to Rush. ❤

Same, I've been listening to this one since i was in elementary! (I am now out of college)
Welcome to Rush!
You would have discovered Rush eventually, and your welcome kids/ grandkids. Couldn't be more proud!
My Dad too! ❤
I stole my first rush album from my dad lol he still complains about it. Long story short we've seen Rush together 3 times.
I ended up here again, the circle is complete
I've been listening to Spirit of Radio and Freewill for 85% of my life. There are always moments that peek through and stop time for me

@@danielcrouch6589 ngl I cried. Really caught me off guard.
51 years young and still Loving RUSH 2024
Keep it up
Me too!!! 😂 and this band just gets better and more meaningful! Happy 51! 😂❤🎉
I'm 49 now. but I can remember how i feel at that time, when i lsten to them for the first time.They have the worth to be loved forever, i think.
Almost 59 here...one of my favorite high school year bands for sure. Good taste in music never fades!
58 here.
Rush Freewill is a legend! 🙌

Reminds me of the commercials lol 🤣
Absofuckinlutely!!
Guitar in this song gives me raging goosebumps.
Mr Lifeson delivers one of his most powerful solos that to this day still gives me goose bumps!
I have never known a world where Rush did not exist, and for this I am thankful 🙏🏻
❤
The fans knew Rush were the best.
Took everyone else 40 years
so true
Big facts! 😆💯
True that!!
Cause most of us are not even 40 yet ;)
65 yrs old and this music moves me beyond words....Can't get enough of Rush
I'll be 71 in March....I'm still dancing around and singing with Geddy...lol
57 here and Female! Haha. Still air drumming, air bassing, air keyboarding, and air guitaring to every song!
That solo section still blows me away every time. Three of the best to ever pick up their instruments.
EVERY SINGLE TIME after that insane breakdown from all of them, I just have to laugh after the cold chills go away.
SAY IT LOUDER!!
@@JulieCarey-y1n ❤️
It's 3 guys soloing at the same time, without stepping on each other. Somehow. Yeah, three of the best indeed
It's a nice day when Rush floods my subscription feed.
I choose RUSH 😄🎶🙌

Once you go rush you never go back : )
True
They make listening to other music very challenging
It ain’t possibly to stop liking rush
I've been there since 1976
It would have been better if you said "once you Rush, you can't slow down." Ha.
A song from the golden era of classic rock. This must never die.

What's the name of that 7 part 20 minute song? I remember first hearing that and was all "Woah! I'm not even stoned and this is talking to me."
@@lecafard4327 2112
Hi I Recommend a song called 'The Bond Villain' by Robert Nix
AMEN.
I will always consider Jimi Hendrix to be the greatest rock guitarist of all time, but Lifeson is a very close second
So few have ever been so intelligent in their lyrics without being terrible. These guys always did so with poise and grace while taking music and effects to a new level without sacrificing quality or the original message.
agreed. genius! next level lyrics and music.
That was Beautifully stated....❤
Once you understand Rush you have no choice. They are the greatest band ever.
But Cream?
Rush aren't even my favourite band, but they are still the best. That's just facts.
Van Halen/Led Zeppelin would fit that description.

I've seen Rush 7 times and wish it was more like 70 times
Yep me too.
I will choose Rush! 🤟🏻
Me too🤘🤘🤘
Me too😎😎🎶
👍👍
Me also
ME TOO
The pictures are moving but the waves are permanent.
My first concert and what a great one it was. Best 3 man band ever!
Me to Providence Civic center 1985. Power windows!

Have you heard YES?
one of the best rush song EVER
Permanent Waves has been and always will be one of my top three go-to albums!🖖
that section from 4:03 to about 4:37 is freakin' MAGICAL
I can never get enough of that. How can anyone bust on Geddy for his vocals in this section.
My choice is from 3:00 to 4:00 !! But the whole song is perfect 👌
This song and that part in particular is what made me have to go and look up Rush!
My favourite part! I replay that part over and over when I listen to this song. The guitar tone and bass are so good and then Geddys vocals come in and just hit a home run. They must've known it sounded that good.
Yeah! The preceding solo section gets most of the notice, but that part coming out where Alex changes up the riff a bit and then Geddy has one of his most iconic vocal moments. So good.
Best band 100% believe this
Rush was my fist live concert, Dad took me for my 10th birthday. Snakes and Arrows Tour, Salt Lake City. This song man!
Me too, my man! Except I was at the Regina, Saskatchewan date. A classic show I didn't fully appreciate until much later.
I always enjoy hearing stories like this. So remember, pass it on to your kids. And cherish their reaction.
The most excellent lyrics as in all Rush songs. Long live the permanent waves of Rush. Much love to you all 💜
Neil is an inspiration. A high school dropout who got his start beating on desks.
It's unbelievable how EVERYTIME and ALWAYS this song puts me on a good mood.
Best Canadian rock band of all time.
@Thomas you know that Beatles and led Zeppelin are from England, right?
@@revolutionairerebel9511
AND the Stones :/
THE BEST rock band of all time. #NerdProgRockMetal or something like that. #RUSH #RIPNeilPeart #RushIsTheirOwnGenre
Rush is the worlds greatest band of all-time! No disrespect intended but IMO Rush surpasses them all!
@Thomas I would add Pink Floyd, and Yes to this list.
Had this on 8-track. Played it to death in my old VW Beetle in 1980. RIP Neil Peart.
Awesome 😎
We play this in a 73 bug now....
One of my favorite songs of all time. One of my favorite bands of all time. This music feels like home. Thank you.

I'm at work and everyone in the building's listening to Rush...at the same time as whatever crap they're listening to.
That’s the way it’s supposed to be

Geddy Lee absolutely tore it up when he sang this song. Masterful.
