The Canadian band Rush is a progressive rock band whose members are [[Neil Peart]], chief lyricist and drummer, widely considered to be one of best and most influential drummers in rock history, Geddy Lee, and Alex Lifeson. Peart's lyrics are based on the [[objectivist]] philosophy of [[Ayn Rand]]. The band's popularity is growing, as the years go on, and they have recently released a new album, called "Snakes And Arrows" in 2007. Their most famous songs are the instrumental "YYZ", the semi-concept album "2112", with its title track and addition "The Priests of the Temple of Syrinx", about a future dominated by left-wing collectives and the removal of individual ability and thought, and possibly their most famous and iconic track, "Tom Sawyer", a musically complex track based around Neil Peart's image of an ideal modern man. The band have received some criticism for their Ayn Rand-inspired lyrics, especially in the British press in the wake of [[2112]] in the 70s.  It is possible that, despite their musicianship, the band have not received their due in terms of popularity and fan-base, as a result of their objectivist and libertarian philosophy, seemingly out of place in the hard rock scene, typically the domain of more left-leaning and liberal bands and musicians.
