HALL OF FAME
ESSAY
By Rob Bowman
In coming together in 1968 as a power trio in a Toronto suburb, the members of Rush went on to become the godfathers of progressive metal.
As the band evolved, settling on longtime bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer Neil Peart, Rush combined the signature traits of progressive rock with a proto typical heavy-metal sound.
