"What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high?" Rush mainman in Seventies flow
One of the most popular prog bands around, Canadian trio Rush began life as a hard rock act who mixed Led Zeppelin with Yes.
Soon fantasy and sci-fi became prevalent themes in the band’s writing and the music became more complex and conceptual.
Rush have been one of the most consistent of prog’s performers, both live and in the studio. The band are currently touring America, recording a new album, and are the subject of a major movie.
Renaissance were a very melodic progressive act who also featured strong elements of folk and classical music. After a faltering start the band settled on a line-up that featured Bolton-born Annie Haslam on vocals, and went from strength to strength, even hitting the pop charts in 1978 with Northern Lights.
