Rush

When the movie "I Love You, Man" wasn't making gay jokes or poking fun at Lou Ferrigno, it was basically an hour of two men and their mutual admiration of their favorite band, Rush. Paul Rudd and Jason Segel refer to the band as the "Holy Triumverate" on more than one occasion, and the band even plays on stage in a concert scene. However lame this may seem, the director did a good job of making it sound like Rush really rocked more than I'd previously thought, so I decided to delve a little further into their discography, and I think he may have been on to something. Rush rocks. Remember, they did show up at #5 on this link for Rolling Stone's top power trios. Not only that, but I can hear a lot of their style in many of the younger bands I listen to today. In a post I wrote: about power trios I said

I would submit that it's actually Rush who are the best, mostprolific (power trio) of all time because even though I'm not a big fan, it's amazing to listen to the sound they produce with three people in a live performance.

Well, now I'm a big fan.

In an upcoming post I'll do my best to compare Rush to Coheed and Cambria, but until then I highly recommend The Spirit of Radio: Greatest Hits 1974-1987 as a good Rush starter/catch-up album. And if you need a push, I find this song helps:
