Birth Information



Since Neil Peart joined the band in time for 1975's
Fly By Night, Rush had been experimenting and growing
musically with each successive release. By 1980's
Permanent Waves, the modern sounds of new wave (the
Police, Peter Gabriel, etc.) began to creep into
Rush's sound, but the trio still kept their hard rock
roots intact. The new approach paid off — two of their
most popular songs, the "make a difference" anthem
"Freewill," and a tribute to the Toronto radio
station, CFNY, "The Spirit of Radio" (the latter a
U.K. Top 15 hit) are spectacular highlights. Also
included were two "epics," the stormy "Jacob's Ladder"
and the album closing, "Natural Science," which
contains a middle section that contains elements of
reggae. Geddy Lee also began singing in a slightly
lower register around this time, which made their
music more accessible to fans outside of the heavy
prog-rock circle. The album proved to be the final
breakthrough Rush needed to become an arena headliner
throughout the world, beginning a string of albums
that would reach inside the Top Five of the U.S.
Billboard album charts. Permanent Waves is an
undisputed hard rock classic, but Rush would outdo
themselves with their next release.
