2112 is a landmark achievement in rock music, no matter where your opinions lie.

We're all Tom Sawyers, even if you've never heard it before (not likely).

When I heard the news that Rush was over, I was reminded of their first single.

April Wine puts on a better show.

April Wine puts on a better show.

Saw Wine many times, Rush I managed to see 4 times.

I am surprised Rush ended without a farewell tour. What I'd like to see them do as a send off is do a pay per view for one final show. And do every song they ever released! LOL

I know their genesis was in 68, but the R tours were using 1973 as the start date. So, maybe they will take a break for a few years and do R50 in 5 years!

Either way, they were an interesting group, with Peart writing all the lyrics and the other 2 writing the music. My favorite LPs are Hemi, FtK, Signals and the first LP. After Presto came out I didn't get into their newer stuff too much after that. That was the last one I really played a lot when it was released.

Guitarist Alex Lifeson has pretty much confirmed that Rush has disbanded after 50 years.

It really sucks, but I'm thankful that I was able to see them in NYC during their R40 tour.

If any band has earned their retirement, it's definitely Rush.

No band old enough to fuck my mom (metaphorically speaking ) should together stay that long.

Any band that is cool with Jerry Stiller is cool with me.
