Spirit of Radio - Rush (Rock, Progressive)
I love Rush, great straight-up rock band. Spirit of Radio is a great album for new Rush fans, as it is a "Best Of" album, and has most of their greatest hits except for YYZ. Rush is one of the most talented bands all around. Geddy Lee is crazy, switching between singing, bass playing, and the keyboards/synthesizers. Alex Lifeson is always overlooked, seeing as Geddy does so much and Neil is jesus, but Alex really has some remarkable guitar skills. Some solos make you ask, "Am I listening to Metallica, or Rush?" Not of course that the sound of the two artists are similar, of course, but in terms of skill, Alex can shred like no other. And let's not forget Neil. One of the greatest drummers of all time. With a Keith Moon style of free-drumming, he is really an asset to the band and their capabilities.
Score: 9.25/10
