Xanadu and Closer to the Heart are my favourite Rush tunes

Not to distract from the article, but I’ll listen to anything Neil Peart was ever involved in. He isn’t just a drummer—he’s a rhythmic poet whose every beat and solo tells a story. His intellect, lyrics, and mastery make RUSH timeless, and he is, without question, the “Professor” of rock who endlessly inspires me.

Brillaint take on how Moving Pictures sits at that perfect inflection point between ambition and accessibility. I've always thought the album's genius is less about reinvention and more about condensation—they managed to pack all the technical fireworks into tighter structures without losing any of hte intensity. I remember first hearing YYZ on the radio as a kid and being blown away that an instrumental could be that gripping in under 5 minutes.
