Easily the best of the hard rock era of Rush. Rush was a Canadian rock band consisting of Geddy Lee (bass, vocals, keyboards), Alex Lifeson (guitars), and Neil Peart (drums, percussion, lyricist). I love this album, but my favorite album (by Rush and of all time) is signals. Posted: February 06 2011 at 16:30 Both of these albums are Rush's most advanced/progressive sounding albums in my opinion, but which do you think is more progressive? Formed in 1968, the band went through several configurations until arriving at its longest and classic line-up when Peart replaced original drummer John Rutsey in July 1974, two weeks before the group's first tour of the United States. Topic: Which is the Most Progressive Rush Album? Fly By Night is bogged down by Rivendell and Making Memories, Caress of Steel has The Fountain of Lameness- sorry, Lamneth, and 2112 is their second best out of the first four by just a tiny little margin (That little margin is Tears).
