Hooty, you must be crazy. 2112 still IS one of the coolest albums/tapes/8-tracks and now CD's ever recorded. I still jam on it, including the live version.

One of the finest products to come from Canada. What an awesome trio!

It was a rock album produced by a Canadian Rock-N-Roll band in the late 70's. It's title was 2112, based on the year 2112. Kind of a futuristic album, much like Sci-Fi. The band is very unique, and different from every other band out there.

Still going today, and extremely wealthy. It was a trio, only three guys, all with Masters degrees in Music. Much like Led Zepplin and the Beattles are British bands, Rush was/is one of the most predominant bands ever from Canada to become a huge worldwide success.

Rush rules. getty lee can really belt out a tune. One of the best gifts from canada. Remember getty singing Take off to the great white north for bob and doug mekenzie back in 82? That was cool.

I agree that Rush puts on one of the best live shows ever! Kudos to their road sound engineers, wow! Load and clear, and it is amazing that a trio can produce such intricate arrangments. The only other bands I've seen that compare to them live are Yes and Pink Floyd.
