Rush is a Heavy metal and Progressive rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rap. Their sound grew out of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Black Sabbath and The Who. Those roots explain a lot about how Rush arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Geddy Lee, Genesis, Dream Theater, Emerson, Lake & Palmer and Jethro Tull, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Manic Street Preachers, Nickelback, Alice in Chains, Coheed and Cambria and Possessed, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 118 connections around Rush, reaching back through Led Zeppelin and forward to Manic Street Preachers.
