The Spirit of Radio – Greatest Hits 1974-1987 – RushView More By Rush Our ReviewWhile the Canadian progressive hard rock trio Rush were hardly a “singles” band — they’ve had just one top 40 U.S. hit, 1982’s “New World Man” — they were always a force on AOR radio and tracks such as “The Spirit of the Radio,” “Tom Sawyer,” “Limelight,” and “The Big Money” span over a decade of influence. This collection neatly summarizes their first 13 years in 16 solid doses. While hardcore fans will rightly insist that their work should be heard in its conceptual entirety on albums such as 2112 and Hemispheres, there’s no harm in receiving a crash course in the band’s musical evolution and diversity. Their earliest hard rock, Led Zeppelin-based ways are on full display with “Working Man” but immediately with the arrival of drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, the band began fashioning their own intricate sound with “Fly By Night” and “2112 Overture / The Temples of Syrinx.” They hit their stride with the heavy philosophizing of the Ayn Rand inspired, anti-socialist screeds “The Trees” and “Freewill” and continued this streak with the surprising pop accents of “Red Barchetta,” “Subdivisions,” and “Early Distant Warning,” as keyboards flesh out the band’s hard-edged guitar attack.. Customer ReviewsPerfect! But you might already have this stuff. (4 stars)The only problem with Rush's compilations is that there are just so many of them- you can get (or probably already have) these tracks on so many other discs. Single disc comps have their strengths and drawbacks. If you're a newcomer and this is the only Rush you hear, then you're missing a whole lot of great stuff. But, as a lean, concise run through of a 25 year span, that includes only the very "best of the best" of their materia Great Rush Album! (5 stars) This is a great Album. I am not a die-hard Rush fan, so it seems like it should be a great album for any rock fan who wants to have some Rush in their collection. Awesome album (5 stars) I own all the rush albums (well,my dad does) and this is an awesome compilation of all their best songs. If you want to know who Rush is, I recommend this, Chronicles, Retrospective, and Moving Picures (not a greatest hits, an actual album, one of their best) BiographyFormed: 1968 in Toronto, Ontario, CanadaGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Over the course of their decades-spanning career, Canadian power trio Rush emerged as one of hard rock's most highly regarded bands; although typically brushed aside by critics and rarely the recipients of mainstream pop radio airplay, Rush nonetheless won an impressive and devoted fan following...
