THC has mixed feelings about Rush. He can't stand a lot of their music which sounds formless and goes on for hours while Geddie Lee's voice is the definition of irritating. At the same time he admires the astonishingly high quality of musicianship Lee, Alex Lifson and Neil Peart exhibit and there are points where it all comes together in memorable songs like Tom Sawyer, Limelight and A Far Cry. From the interviews THC has seen they also look like more interesting people than most musicians.
YYZ is an instrumental featuring some terrific bass playing by Geddie. This video tells the story behind the song as well as showing a performance of it. The video below is Geddie's isolated bass track which is worth a listen.
