Amazing hipster album #3: Permanent waves

With Geddy Lee high pitched singing and bass work, Neil Pearts evocative lyrics and drum mastery, and Alex Lifeson's all around awesomeness, rush's seventh studio album is a landmark in the history of progressive rock. What i like about rush is the fact that the band is simply a trio, but in pieces like free will and entre nous and many others, it seems that the band is comprised of many more. 
    My favorite lyric in the world is still in debate, with two contenders from rush songs, one being freewill, the single from the album. The lyric is "and if you chose not to decide you still have made a choice." I chose not to decide between that and "the spaces in between us, give room you and i to grow". Both lyrics are both awesome, and unlike most of progressive rocks lyrics, uplifting. Rush has a overall happy feel to their music, and it is brought out in permanent waves. Rush has had very few feuds between members, and have actively worked together since 1974, and for Lee and Lifeson, since 1968.
           Overall,this album was not one of rushes more popular albums, however, it is my one of my favorites. This is the single free will, enjoy.
