After 44 years at the top of the prog rock game, Rush released what would be their final album, Clockwork Angels, in 2012. Even without knowing it was their swan song, Prog pointed out that the Canadian trio had become more than just a band over the previous decade.
“Their sales are right up there with the Beatles and the Stones, but Rush keep a pretty low profile,” we said. “But you realise just how deeply they’ve been absorbed by popular culture. It’s an affection reserved for only a handful of enduring rock bands – those who can only really be divided by themselves and one. Rush are reaping the rewards for being themselves.”
