Of course, this is phenomenal. One of the greatest and most original acts ever. A must (all their CD's, except the last one) for music lovers who want more than ordinary cheap stuff. This is pure class !!!

the most original and tecnically sound band EVER!! I'll sum them up by saying that they are the musicians musicians...they are awesome. Tight, and flawless in their delivery, the kind of guys most muso's aspire to be like...if only I could play drums like Neil Peart?? my all time fav. band...FOCK ON!!!

Knuckles: I agree with you. It's a shame. Only a recopilation from Rush. Where is all the masterpieces?

From: TIM	Date: April 4, 2003 at 7:24
Emilio, if you want to see them on here- submit them. It's easy. I put the Chronicles here. If you have more get them out and start submitting.

Begin the day with a friendly voice, A companion unobtrusive Plays the song that's so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood. Off on your way, hit the open road, There is magic at your fingers For the Spirit ever lingers, Undemanding contact in your happy solitude

We know the lyrics, Knucklehead. Anyway, buying all the Rush CDs can make for a full shopping cart, so if you want a great overview or you don't have the money for all of them, this is the way to go.

ALE. EXCELLENT COMPILATION!

From: 80s fan	Date: October 14, 2003 at 16:30
Perfect compilation! Some of the greatest tunes in 2 CDs!

From: rush head	Date: April 24, 2004 at 15:11
Sums up rush for me.....great band but not worth buying all there CD's.....2112 is a must though.

From: Big Papa K	Date: June 28, 2004 at 16:39
This is a great introduction to Rush. The first album gives you a good glimpse of their mix of prog and hard rock from the 70's, their finest work. The second disc does a good job of picking out the highlights from their sketchy albums from the 80's. 10/10

From: Propane	Date: December 3, 2004 at 12:13
I bought this because I needed my fix of Rush and soon found out how I was going to burn this thing out. Great compilation piece.

Chronicles justly portrays Rush from their fiery eponoymous debut through 1989's well balanced "Presto". Many if not all of thier legendary tunes from their first two decades make it here to this double disc compilation which was first released back in 1990. Noteably, the set is arranged chronologically for an even better listening experience with disc one focusing on their 70's hard rock & progressive repertoire while disc two showcases the bands more melodic, keyboard oriented material of the 80's. For the novice, it's a fairly safe bet that your favorite Rush tune(s) will appear here, so this is the perfect place to start. As for the longtime fan, it will bring back great memories as the music flows seamlessly for nearly two & a half hours from "Finding My Way" through "Show Don't Tell".
