@jeffjones62213 ай бұрын
@@glebivanov6323 I'd call Blood, Sweat &Tears prog rock, Chicago, prog rock after BST. Rush would carry that torch, but without the horns and jazz element. Tool and others, but I'd say Tool because they're the most mainstream, has taken the mantel from Rush. Much like the progression of Southern rock. Just a take from a studio engineer since '80. ✌️

Hey man, I've been a Rush fan for as long as I remember. Tom Sawyer and YYZ were off of the "Moving Pictures" album. If you ever get a chance you should listen to the song "Witch Hunt". It's off of the same album. I always loved that song. It was not as popular as their other ones. But I think you'll love it. But I was blessed enough in life to see them in concert 2 separate times. The last concert I saw with them was in Houston, Texas in 2010. They played every hit song from their first album "2112" to their last album "Snakes and Arrows". But they also played every song off of the Moving Pictures Album. The show was 3 hours long and it was only Rush. I literally have tears in my eyes while typing this. R.I.P. Neil Peart. They were, and still are, amazing! I know it may be hard to believe, but life was just better back in the day. It was just a better world. I guess I'm turning into an old man myself now. I'd give anything to go back and do it all over again. But I'm glad to see younger people still keeping their music alive. Thank you young man. I know the world is a different place now, but you would have loved the way it was back then. I know that today we are all digitally connected. But back then, we were all physically connected. We couldn't wait to get up and go out into the world every day. I apologize for the reading assignment, but thanks for letting an old man have an emotional moment. Peace, love, and prosperity, to you, your friends, and your loved ones.
