I tried that but my references were too oblique. Tongue

Yeah, it's really hard to choose. But the most creative creature of these three is Alex Lifeson, his chord lexicon, his sound. Only we should listen to his solo on Double Agent, an ode to creativity Period.

Though decision it´s like someone asking you which of your sons did you prefer?

Because of his appearance in Trailer Park Boys
Because he looks like my friend Iain H (guitarist in Part Chimp)
Because I think he should have his fingers broken to stop him playing parts that are too difficult for me to play...
 
Alex wins!

They are all great, but from what i've read recently, Neil Peart seems to be the driving force behind many albums. This applies especially to Snakes and Arrows album.

Wow that's a toughie! I voted for Geddy as he sings, plays Bass and Keyboards and writes the music with Alex.
 
If any of the 3 members left though Rush could no longer exist IMO so really they are equally important.

Lifeson, hands down. I base my decision on Victor vs. My Favorite Headache. While Ged's songs are good, Victor is very creative. Alex tries so many new things.

When I created this thread I had the idea that it would be a difficult choice and indeed, reading the posts (thanks for joining Thumbs%20Up ) it appears to be a diffcult choice and some even decided not to choose which is still a choice Wink !
 
Personally I had expected that Neil Peart would outnumber Alex Lifeson in this poll because worldwide Neil gets the most recognition for his drumming but on the other hand Alex has more competition as a guitarplayer.

Musically, id like to think Lifeson is most creative.  His quirky and augmenting use of chords (especially late 70's and early 80's) is just too cool.  As a whole, i'd say Neil: hes quite an accomlished drummer and lyricist, as well as an author, and i'm sure hes written lots of other stuff that nobody's ever seen.
