RIP to both Neil Peart and John Rutsey. Easy to forget that no John = no Rush.

@@rockmetalhead7680 There would have been a Rush, but they would have been a local hard rock act instead of the worldwide prog phenomenon they became. Probably the same popularity level as Max Webster, Rough Trade, Chilliwack, Prism, and groups like that that had a few hits but are largely forgotten except on Canadian classic rock. Neil pushed them far above that level. But they still would have existed

@@rockmetalhead7680 You don't know that! Neil wrote the lyrics, NOT the music! Rush nearly broke up after the release of Caress Of Steel! Alex and Geddy could wrote some very good lyrics. Geddy Lee wrote the lyrics for the first Rush album with Rutsey on drums and it still one of my favourite Rush albums!

Geddy Lee shouting "YEAH! OH YEAH!!!!" is easily one of the best sounds in music history.
