RUSH FANS UNITE! Let’s get these guys in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame!
Back in the late 70’s we (some friend and I ) thought that they should have been. I still do. The group is a classic. All the shows sold out and we couldn’t get enough of them. MTV came along and added fuel to the fire by airing their videos. Wow, what a show they would put on!! 2112 has to be my all time favorite RUSH album. I just wish I could remember when they changed their name from Mahogany Rush.

Actually yes…I am extremely angry. They deserve to be in it more than half of the "musicians" that are. GRRRRR!!! I can’t wait to see them again.

they certianly do deserve it, aside from the chart history is the fact that they are incredible musicians,each one an ace at their given instruments….three extremely talented musicians.

It’s a true shame. Considering their incredible musicianship and depth of lineup, I’m shocked it hasn’t happened yet. I’ll be surprised if they don’t make it in the next year or so.

Couldn’t agree more. Of course I won’t get any backing on this but KISS is in the HOF and Rush isn’t? Isn’t it built for MUSICIANS and not just performers? Boils my blood….
