Really?
Rush has won a number of Juno awards, inducted into the Candian Hall of Fame and has influenced countless bands from Tool to Metallica. Oh and received the Royal Order of Canada award. The highest honor given in that country.
As a group Rush posess 24 Gold and 14 Platinum records placing them 4th behind only the Beatles, Stones, and Kiss-also 4th for consecutive Gold-a Very tough thing to do.
Over the course of their careers, the individual members of Rush have been acknowledged as being the most proficient players of their instraments with each winning multiple awards. Neil has won more drumming awards than any Other musician in the history of music. Even his instructional videos have won awards. He has won for best live performace, best drum solo, best recorded drumming, Best Rock drumming, ect ect-NOONE is even close-ask any drummer.
Like I said-Best musicians of all time-hands down-not even close.
