Here is a song I recorded that says it all when it comes to honoring the men and women
that served and died.

For Memorial Day, I think it is highly appropriate.

Thank you for posting the song. I enjoyed it. Myself, not having a lick of musical talent, I do appreciate good music. My favorite Instrument is the harpsichord as well as the chello.

In 400 years, do you think people will know the band Rush? Unlike JSB who is still enjoyed 400 years later.

I grew up listening to Rush and similar bands. That being said, who
remembers popular music many years after it was popular? Well there was
a poem set to music by Samuel Ward in 1882 called "America the
Beautiful" which was very popular and I seem to remember it. Or there's
"Take me out to the ballpark" from 1908 by Albert Titzer and Jack
Norwith which was very popular at the time and this is also something
most people remember.

Not every popular music artist will be remembered, but who knows?

For me at least, Rush was one of my most liked bands of the era. I
still like to listen to their music. I think Geddy Lee's vocals were
excellent. But as with all things, popularity is in the mind of the
beholder.

I agree with your post, the song was very well done and has a beauty to
it. So thanks to Mike for the post!

Have a wonderful day!

Like many bands, I've often heard their early music played on the radio, but not their later stuff. Actually, I don't think I remember hearing any Rush music past their 1982 Signals album on the radio ('New World Man' and 'Subdivisions') - even later into the 90s, when they had released several more albums by then. It feels like it's difficult to get a sense of which bands are still popular when only their early work gets played on the radio.

Songs from "Presto" and "Roll the Bones" got plenty of airplay here, even
after they were no longer "new." I cannot say about now because I have not listened to the radio in a while. Whenever I turn it on, they are usually playing commercials.

What area do you live in? I was thinking perhaps in Canada there might be more chance of their 'newer' music being played; I'd heard there's a law in Canada where Canadian radio stations must play a minimum percentage of Canadian content (and Rush is a Canadian band).

Yes :) .. If anything, because of Neil Peart.

Drummers use a metronome. A metronome uses Neil Peart.
