I think Rush are a truely underappreciated band and their influence is undeniable. Progressive rock in general is usually underappreciated in general. Even broader, Musicianship in rock music these days is too often overlooked. Talent wise, Rush is on the upper echelon...but they really didnt breakthru or have the influence Beastie did. They didnt shift the music culture like the Beastie did. Beasties, first rap album to hit the number 1 on the Billboard. They are pivitol in bringing hip-hop culture to mainstream America, out of the city to the suburbs and even rural states. First major white rappers. Also extremely creative, Pauls Boutique, Check your Head, Ill Communication...that stuff had never been done b4. They are originators. Rush were part of a movement.
