>"His mind is not for rent, to any god or government" -- Tom Sawyer, Rush
On Robert Palmer, my favorite lyrics are from "Every Kind of People" and "Some Like It Hot"
Yes, the line from Tom Sawyer represents the bold individualism in their lyrics, especially in the early years. Neil Peart has written countless great lyrics
If I posted a link for every great Rush track, I'd probably break the record for # of links. But here are 2 tracks I never saw coming - they were a total surprise and redefined their level of creativity.

Billy Corgan (of "Smashing Pumpkins" fame) talks about how he felt disconnected from life and from adults when he was a teen. He sat his parents down and he played "Entre Nous" for them - there are tears in his eyes when he recalls telling his parents that the song (which is about relationships) was the only thing in the world he could understand and relate to.
There's no such thing as a casual Rush fan. Their fans base is insanely loyal.
