Rush

Rush is a Canadian progressive rock band primarily popular in the seventies. They are considered one of the definitive prog bands of the seventies. They had several hit singles and many bestselling albums including their iconic 2112, which has a song that takes up most of the album and is divided into parts. Their song The Spirit of Radio references the Simon and Garfunkel song The Sound of Silence. Many of their songs have since become classic rock staples. Rush was a main example in the criticism of the actual Hall of Fame's long neglect of progressive rock bands. Neo-progressive rock band Marillion has claimed influence from Rush.
