The thread about bands that stayed around too long really got me thinking about my fav. band of all time.

Rush is without a doubt one of the best progressive / hard rock bands of all time, and I think Neil peart is without questions THE best drummer ever. However, after seeing them in concert last Summer I have to think that maybe it's time to retire.

Perhaps it was just the fact that they had a long tour, but Geddy's voice just wasn't what it used to be. All the guys are pushing 50. Can't say as I really enjoyed their latest album of cover songs from their childhood, but I did think that Vapor Trails was their best album of the last 10 years.

I don't know. I guess we'll just have to see what comes next.
