Cranking Up Rush - Their Musical Legacy in 11 Songs

The volume on a standard amp goes to 10. But, sometimes, that's just not high enough. Sometimes, you need to rock even harder than that-all the way to 11. Goes to 11 books are short, opinionated introductions to the catalogs of major musical acts through 11 essential songs. Because going over the top is the only answer when it comes to good music.

From the band's early days in the Toronto music scene to their multiple Grammy wins to the aftermath of drummer Neil Peart's death, Rushremains one of the most beloved rock bands of all time. Renowned for their stylistic range, integrity, and legendary technical skill, the band's wry sense of humor and humility have also resonated with fans internationally. After more than four decades and nineteen studio albums, they've produced a rich body of work that continues to enthrall millions of listeners, new and old.
From "Xanadu" to "Time Stand Still" and beyond, Cranking Up Rush provides a whirlwind tour of 11 essential Rush tracks. It covers every era of their output-from their teenage years to their final tour in 2015-and highlights what truly makes Rush the Spirit of Radio.
