THE RETURN OF THE '70s
BEST OF ’87/’88: Hold Your Fire, their latest monumental achievement in a string of gold & platinum LPs.
PROFILE: By far the most successful rock band to ever descend from Canada, Rush has done its country proud for 14 superb albums. The power trio’s three vital components are master bassist Geddy Lee, drummer Neil Peart and guitarist Alex Lifeson.
DISCOGRAPHY: Rush (’74), Fly By Night (’75), Caress Of Steel (’75), 2112 (’76), All The World’s A Stage (’76), A Farewell To Kings (’77), Archives (’78), Hemispheres (’78), Permanent Waves (’80), Moving Pictures (’81), Grace Under Pressure (’83), Signals (’84), Power Win-
dows (’85), Exit . . Stage Left (’86), Hold Your Fire (’87).
BREAKTHROUGH: March, 1976 when 2112 soared in the U.S., making the title track the group’s signature piece. HOBBIES: Alex loves to cook (lasagna’s a specialty), Geddy loves twiddling with his Interface (a synthesizer device) and Neil is an avid writer who’s become the band’s chief lyricist and biographer. FOURTH MEMBER: Producer Terry Brown is so close to the band that he’s called “the Objective Ear.”
