Why does anyone need to stand up for Rush? It was a great band and not really controversial, plus they disbanded years ago because the drummer died. They don't exist any more, just like Led Zeppelin no longer really exists (also because the drummer died, coincidentally).

Spock: Captain we need to send down a landing party to investigate the radiation leak. Kirk: Send some red shirts. Spock: They're all in Agile training today. Kirk: Do we have any rock drummers?

It was ridiculous how long it took for them to be enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but that finally happened a few years back.

  The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a complete joke, and has nothing to do with real Rock and Roll music. They regularly induct musicians and performers who have absolutely nothing to do with Rock. It's best to just ignore the whole institution.

Just four days ago they played at Red Rocks with Matt Stone on drums for South Park's 25th: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lel5JGJfwqQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lel5JGJfwqQ RIP Neil Peart

  That's not really Rush, just like the surviving Led Zeppelin players playing a concert with Jason Bonham isn't really LZ. The guest drummer isn't an official band member in either case, just a guest musician. The band itself just doesn't exist; now it's "the surviving members of band X". Pink Floyd is the same way; they disbanded after their keyboardist died.

Led Zeppelin should reunite with the deceased drummer’s son playing drums - TAKE ACTION NOW

  Jason Bonham made a couple of fun records in late 80s/early 90s with his group "Bonham". I'd be up for seeing a reunion.

Who cares, it's easy? I did my part: I just stood up and went to the bathroom.
