Musicians

The Resume

    (1968- )
    Formed in Toronto, Ontario
    Geddy Lee (Gary Lee Weinrib - Vocalist/Bassist/Synthesizers)
    Alex Lifeson (Alexander Zivojinovich - Guitarist/Synthesizers)
    Neil Peart (Drummer)
    Recorded 'Finding My Way,' 'Working Man,' 'Anthem,' 'Fly By Night,' 'Bastille Day,' 'Something For Nothing,' '2112 Overture/The Temples Of Syrinx,' 'Closer To The Heart,' 'Xanadu,' 'La Villa Starngiato,' 'The Trees,' 'The Spirit Of Radio,' 'Freewill,' 'Entre Nous,' 'Limelight,' 'Tom Sawyer,' 'New World Man' and 'Subdivisions'

Why they might be annoying:

    Their songs were lengthy and didn't break new ground.
    Geddy Lee's voice is high pitched.
    They rely too much on synthesizers.
    Drunk and festive for New Year's, Alex beat up some cops and spit blood in one's face. The police had to take him out with a stun gun (January 1, 2004).

Why they might not be annoying:

    They have a large loyal following without being 'Top 40.'
    A lyric in 'Freewill' says, 'If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.'
    They contribute to charities such as Toronto's Maple Leaf food drive.
    They have the third longest string of consecutive gold and platinum records, twenty three, behind The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and tied with KISS.
