Show Notes
This week I'm joined by Steve, co-host of Something For Nothing: A Rush Fancast, and together we’re curating a playlist packed with our favorite songs from progressive rock legends Rush. From their early hard rock beginnings to their complex, synth-driven epics and later-era masterpieces, this mixtape spans the full evolution of one of rock’s most innovative and influential bands.
We dive into the band’s iconic catalog—highlighting fan-favorite deep cuts, classic radio staples, and underrated gems from albums like 2112, Moving Pictures, Hemispheres, Grace Under Pressure, and more. Whether you’re a lifelong Rush fan or just starting to explore their discography, this playlist offers something for everyone.
Did we manage to build a Rush mixtape that appeals to both casual listeners and hardcore fans of Geddy, Alex, and Neil? There’s only one way to find out—tune in and take the musical journey with us!
