winter, again, soon

(If you’d like to listen to a track from Rush as you read, go to the end of the post to start the song)

Neil Peart, best known as the drummer/lyricist for Rush, passed away on January 7, 2020. He had been fighting brain cancer, which he had only shared with his most inner circle. When Rush retired from touring a few years ago, the reasoning was that Peart was having shoulder issues. He joined Rush prior to their second album, “Fly By Night” and took their music to another level of complexness. Considered one of the best technical rock drummers, he should be mentioned with names such as Bill Bruford, Terry Bozzio, Ginger Baker along with many others. Highly influential, Neil will be missed by the rock community.  

These pictures are the Rush albums I own that have Neil on them, I put the studio albums in the order I would suggest listening to them in general in the list below (if I know your tastes, it’s possible I would put them in a different order). Then, I’ll list the live albums separately (you can’t go wrong with any of their live stuff).
