RUSH - 1974 -1977 (2 ALBUMS)
"RUSH" 1974 FINDING MY WAY - The band's debut album consists of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and John Rutsey (soon to leave the band after this album and replaced on drums by the more familiar Neil Peart). This opening track is atorming intro with a Led Zeppelin style, screeching vocals, searing guitar solos and pulsating drums. Wake up, Rush are here!The first single from the set failed to chart in the UK. NEED SOME LOVE - This track is a straight up rocker, with elements of Rock 'n Roll and deep lazy Blues. More catchy than most Rush songs and has that "radio-friendly" appeal. It also has a slight Punk vibe. TAKE A FRIEND - Another catchy track with more Classic Rock leanings and heavy sounding Pop. I love the ZZ Top style bluesy guitars here. HERE AGAIN - An emotional, powerful slow Blues Rock track until about halfway then the guitars get heavier and it ends with a crescendo of Blues, Classic and Progressive Rock. WHAT YOU'RE DOING - Another
