THE SPIRIT OF RADIO (GREATEST HITS 1974-1987)

My friends had said that Rush is a prog rock band, that you should try listening to. They played songs like Tom Sawyer, Freewill and The Trees for me, and I was stunned. The personal voice (and bass sound!) of Geddy Lee, the mindblowing drumming of Neil Peart and the interesting effect guitar playing of Alex Lifeson creates maybe the finest music of all time. I got this album for a very low price, but this is worth so much more. This is the greatest 'greatest hits' album ever made, without a doubt. Maybe not everybody agrees with me, but I highly recommend that you start you Rush - listening with this compilation, as I did. It contains the greatest hit singles from the beginning of the band in 1974 to the album 'Hold Your Fire', which was released in 1987. There is not one bad song on this album. And if you start your listening with this album, you will capture the quality of Rush's music in the way it is ment to be.

Still, I can't give it 5 stars, because it's "just" a compilation. If this was an album, it would (without a doubt) be the greatest creation in the history of music.
