"2112" is one of their better albums. The first side is a mini-concept album, while the flipside is a collection of unrelated singles.
The story is orwellian in flavor, about life in the year 2112, where the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx control every aspect of life, including poetry, literature, and music, which are strictly regulated.
A teenaged boy is out walking in the woods one day, and finds an acoustic guitar in a cave behind a waterfall. He's so excited about making his own music, that he takes the guitar to the priests, thinking that they'll reward him for discovering a new way to beautify the world.
Instead, they chastise him, telling him "it's nothing new... just a waste of time", and they seize the guitar and destroy it.
In his despair, the boy kills himself.
My fave track is the "2112 Overture"...

Anywho, Neil Peart is the percussionist, and is among the very best in the world. During shows, his drum riser is assmbled around him, and he is surrounds on all sides by his intruments. I'm a big fan.

He also does long-distance motorcycle rides, on a BMW GS.
He wrote a hell of a good book a few years ago, called "The Healing Road", about getting on the road to help him recover from the deaths of his wife and daughter.
I saw them just this summer on the Snakes and Arrows tour, they were amazing. Geddy blew me away with his Bass playing. Neil and Alex weren't too shabby either.
For me the best was Hemispheres.
Hemispheres is one of my favorites too. 2112 overture live was amazing also though. Limlight is another fave track of mine.
