Rush


Rush is a Canadian progressive rock band, formed in 1968 with its current members consisting of : Geddy Lee (bassist, vocalist, keyboardist), Alex Lifeson (guitarist) and Neil Peart (drummer/lyricist). Rush is known for their complex songs, instrumental skills, science-fiction-y lyrics and loooooong songs. In my opinion, I think Rush is one of the best at what they do, and are extremely talented. Like really really really talented...

I consider Neil Peart one of the greatest, if not the greatest drummer of all time. Geddy Lee is also great at bass, and his vocals are what make the band instantly recognizable. And Alex LIfeson is an amazing guitarist, with very difficult and complex solos to prove it.

Rush has achieved massive success influencing tons of bands to come, ranging from many different genres. To this day, Rush is still recording and working on their 21st studio album, in these albums you hear the band experimenting with new styles of play, different genres and synth.

Here are a couple of clips i thought we're funny about rush...

Boston


Boston is an American rock band formed in 1975,  known all around the world as one of the best rock bands of their time. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1976, it was a huge success and the band earned popularity around the world. It was ranked the 2nd best selling debut album.

Since then the band released 4 more studio albums, Don't look back, Third Stage, Walk on and Corparate America...

In my opinion, I think that Boston is a great band to listen to, but honestly they're success was all from their debut album with hits like :  more then a feeling, smokin', foreplay/longtime etc.
