All you reactioners that wondered why all of us old white men were drumming in our cars,this was what we were listening to😂😂😂

In Canada it's illegal to not give a thumbs up to Rush reactions. So here you go.

54 years old here and I still beat the hell out my steering wheel (in tune) when their classic rock music plays on my radio.

ScribeCash; "Whoo, that transitioned really fast, I wasn't ready for that. I'm gonna have to back that up" Me: Oh, just wait.

"One likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises, shatter the illusion of integrity."

You have caught the Rush bug. There is no cure.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about this song is that it was a hit that got radio play, even though the lyrics are about how fundamentally corrupt radio is.

Girl, I dance the same way as you every time I hear Rush! Been rocking out with them for 40 yrs! Love your enthusiasm!🤘🏻❤️

it's fun watching someone who has never experienced the music of Rush discover how great it is for the first time. if you like Rush you are very lucky because they have so much music for you to discover, album after album after album, year after year of great timeless music.

one of the best songs ever recorded.

When you can play your instruments like those 3 cats......EVERYTHING is in the arsenal.

"That was a musical experience right there!" Welcome to the wonderfulness that is RUSH!

La Villa Strangiato is fundamental. You need this in your life

The single "The Spirit of Radio" was released on 1/1/1980, ahead of the album it's from. What a way to start a decade!

Not a magical drumset, but a magical drummer, Mr. Neil Peart, aka the Professor. Great tune.

You literally had me laughing out loud. "Ol' boy got a magic drum set" too funny. Well, I know what I'm going to listen to on the way home from work today. Thanks Scribe! Love your channel. Keep up the great work!

"La Villa Strangiato" "Xanadu" Those are a couple of their more epic tracks.

That song does deserve applause!!!

This is a tribute to "Radio" which is something us older folks grew up on. It was really a magical thing for us.

YOU GOT IT!!!! The transitions toward the end of the song is supposed to simulate someone flipping between different genres while listening to the radio. More Rush please, preferably Test for Echo 😊

"subdivisions","2112","working man" Rush rocks and their musicianship is definitely top notch.☮️

Love your energy and passion to these classics.

still remember the feeling of hearing this open so so so many Rush Concerts GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME

They ALWAYS know how to play their instruments!! Their transitions are epic. Plus they are just really really nice guys!

Yeah! Well done! This song introduce to Power Trio, back in 1982, and since then this band became the soundtrack of my life. "This is for sure a morning song" Totally agree!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your face, your moves and your feel for this. You just speak to me when you move and you know good music! I also love Rush! You are just sooo much fun to watch!! I feel your every move!!

Try "Subdivisions" and then "Red Barchetta". You won't be disappointed.

The whole album kicks ass ! Masterpiece.

Rip Neil Peart. An amazing drummer that will be missed. Thanks for the music!

I feel it is so important for this music to live on and be appreciated by generation after generation. There will never be the level of innovation and raw musical talent from musicians from the 60s, 70s and 80s ever again.

"One likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity." Such a powerful lyric, one of my favorites by Mr. Peart. That man drops little bombs like these in many Rush songs. Cheers!

"2112" or "La Villa Strangiato" by Rush

I love watching people discover RUSH for the first time. The three greatest musicians on their respective instruments in musical history IMHO.

Your reactions are awesome. Never saw anyone so happy jammin' to Rush as you were right before the 'reggae' transition.

Great reaction. Love your energy and enthusiasm! Rest in Peace, Neil Peart.

I love the way you FEEL the music, it's beautiful.

I love RUSH since 1976... Welcome to our World...enjoy the journey!

Rush was the first band my wife and I saw together on a date in Lakeland Florida on September 20, 1980. That was 40 years ago and we're still together, still rocking and Rush's music still kicks ass!

You asked in a Led Zeppelin reaction about whether technology is a good or bad thing in modern music. Rush answered that question in this song. It can still be open hearted. It's all a question of honesty.

The dancer slows her frantic pace In pain and desperation Her aching limbs and downcast face Aglow with perspiration Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire With just the briefest pause The flooding through her memory The echoes of old applause She limps across the floor And closes her bedroom door The writer stares with glassy eyes Defies the empty page His beard is white, his face is lined And streaked with tears of rage Thirty years ago, how the words would flow With passion and precision But now his mind is dark and dulled By sickness and indecision And he stares out the kitchen door Where the sun will rise no more

This is helping me heal. Thank you.

Natural Science (from the same album, it's a long one but definitely a journey)

Rush has roped Scribe into being another big fan. Way to go Scribe!!! Glad you could join us Rush heads. There is soooo much more to discover about Rush. Thanks for this video.

Ahhh, another juicy cut of Classic, Vintage 70's - 80's RUSH.

Did you know Neil the drummer wrote the lyrics of most of the songs>?

Magical drum set,that's the greatest drummer to ever pick up a pair of sticks R.I.P Neil!

This is how everybody reacts the first time they hear Rush! The goats of classic rock!!

This song is a tribute to the Toronto radio station CFNY 102.1 back in 1980 when it was cool and embodied “The Spirit of [FM] Radio”, but became a an anthem to all rebel radio that played new experimental rock and pop music.

I just love seeing first reactions to Rush..I smile knowing what is coming up.

Scribe this my Fav of all your reactions ! Glad you found Rush !

She is proof positive that it IS possible to dance to Rush's music! Jam it up girl!

She couldn’t resist starting the song over after hearing the intro and first transition. Touching to watch a Rush fan bloom.

I LOVE your energy!!!! I'm a huge Rush fan, please do more of their music!!

It’s great that you give props to the transitions. Frequent time signature changes, complex instrumental layering, and poetic lyrics are all hallmarks of progressive rock. It was bands like Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Rush, etc. that provided me with what became my favorite genre of rock music.

Thank you with the way young people are exited about Rush. Their music wiil live on forever. That song and album came out in 1980. They were so ahead of their time.

I’m 17 and gonna have to replace my steering wheel soon every time I hear this song on the radio. I’ve been listening to them and all the other classic rock guys on the radio for a few years now.

3 of the best musicians in the world . RUSH. You've just begun a wonderful journey.

love your reactions-neil peart was probably one of the top 5 drummers of all time-he just passed away-rush was also in the top 4 of 3 man bands of all time-cream in 1968,the james gang in 1970,rush and then the police in the early 80's.it brings joy to my heart to see younger people discovering them now-i was 23 in 1978 for this.but earth wind and fire and some other motown groups were also getting huge radio airplay -just loved it all-musical tastes and choices were endless

That was fun to watch. A head-banging, air-drum-playing black woman rockin' out.

Rush is the third time all-selling band behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Loved your responses to this song. I never get tired of this gorgeous song. Pure joy!

I don't know you but it made me very happy to see you discovering this great band and finding joy in their music. There's really nothing else like them.

RIP to your favorite drummer's favorite drummer

Celtic, rock, folk, reggae, etc. Welcome to the world of Rush.

Her at 2:06: every single person at that point of the song. Love it, glad you are discovering Rush, always fun to listen to a wide variety of stuff!

I love your enthusiasm! You remind me of the first time I heard Rush many years ago. Incredible band.

Ol boy is Neil Peart and he is a genius on the drums. 🥁🥁🥁

This is one e of my favorite rush songs... 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 great reaction as usual.. 👏🔥💯👍

Rush music takes you on a ride Thank you for making smile RIP Neil Peart

You need to check out “Subdivisions” next by Rush.

(7:31) The transitions in The Spirit of Radio are simulating the changing of radio stations on an analog radio dial. The transition marked at this junction is rather cleverly done. If you turned the tuning dial quickly, then many radio stations would broadcast like a blur to your ears.

Neil Peart - The best drummer EVER - wrote this in 1979. RIP Neil

You’ve got it!!!! You cannot listen to Rush without air drumming. Love it!!!

I think you might like "Jacob's Ladder". It's on the same album. It's a bit mellower but I think still worth a listen. I like it.

What a great reaction!! Love seeing you vibe out, especially tapping in to Neil's incredible drumming.

One Of their favorite bands were The Police And you can hear the Reggae influence in songs like Vital Signs, Digital Man & New World Man. Peace.

RIP Neil Peart. 😥 One of the best drummers ever!

Great reaction.....It's nice to see the new generation appreciating a song from 1979. 👍

Three virtuoso on top of their game !!!

I watch several very good reaction channels, but NONE OF THEM are as entertaining as yours. Your enthusiasm and energy are infectious! Great job young lady!

Glittering prizes and endless compromices shatter the illusion of integrity... yeah. Facts! The spirit of radio was written near the 70s.. and released in 1980 if memory serves.

It was fun watching you through the transitions and the... you bang your head!! HA! Welcome to Rush! Bless you lady!

Great reaction! Love your enthusiasm. Rush were always pushing, looking for new sounds, and grooves. In late 1979, the Police (band) were getting huge, and they had a reggae'ish sound. The Police had excellent musicians (Sting for one), but drummer Stuart Copeland was someone who Rush's drummer was very impressed with. Check out the Police some time, they are excellent.

This a song slamming the radio business Rush was so technically perfect in their sound they didn’t really seem like they were really playing the instruments....until I saw them live and they sounded just as clear ROCK GREATNESS

Only two mandatory songs left. Red Barchetta and 2112.

I saw Rush 4 times.Their live shows were insane. These guys were tight as hell plus their light show was great.

"That was a musical experience right there" Perfect.

Rush inspired millions of air guitarists and drummer's. I know i was one of them.

Oh love Rush!! They are fabulous!! Try their whole first side of their 2112 album...it is like one song and it will blow your mind!!

New subscriber, loved you reaction to Rush. Brings a tear to my eye.

MY GOODNESS SC! I've been enjoying your reactions, but this may be my favorite. You were going off on those air drums! Thanks for another great video. Happy Holidays. :D

Since i first listened to this song in 1980 and yes im that old , its been a wake me up fun uplifting song and your reaction is spot on and love you enthusiasm about Rush

Beautiful. Every day beautiful. She's perfect

The reggae bit was inspired by Rush's appreciation for another 3-piece rock group, THE POLICE, which had a number of tunes with a reggae beat.

Galactic funk!

Back when I was in high school, the Rock station DJ played this every thirty minuted between 7 and 9 am to get us up and going to school. Shout out to WNOR 99FM Norfolk, Va!

That big transition to the reggae and big riff at the end of the song was them imitating cruising around the dial for some music.

The song that propelled them from basic group to superstars is the 7 part song 2112 a 20 minute eargasm. The song is a story of a dystopian future that forbids music.

That is the PROFESSOR!!! You have met the PROFESSOR! The late...greatest...Neil Peart! Not only does he make the drums look like a Picasso...he also writes the lyrics. We lost a God the day he died. A true, legit, Rock n Roll God.

"Welcome to Jamaica mon" lol. Love you girl. ♥️🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸✝️✝️✝️

1st, RUSH is Canadian, & we could not be more proud of how they represented us, 2nd, they were brilliant musicians & all could play more than 3 instruments, & only needed 3 of them to sound like a band of 5, and lastly, once you hear them, you are never the same, & now, you are one of us !!! LOL 😊 Oh ya, one of the reasons there were so many transitions in this particular song, is because RUSH, wanted to give the listeners the feeling of changing the channel on the radio!!!
