Music similar to Rush?

post #1 of 21
Thread Starter 

Can anyone suggest some music that's similar to Rush?

No vocals but their tunes have a similar feel at times - http://www.ecstasyinnumbers.com/

Rush had a huge influence on Porcupine Tree. If you're not familiar with them, check them out. Start with In Absentia.

BTW, I *love* Rush. Was actually just listening to "Passage to Bangkok".

Rush.  There can only be one.

I've been a Rush fan for a very long time and I second the Porcupine Tree suggestion. A few years ago they displaced Rush as my favourite band. I'm really not sure who else is close to them (Rush) in sound. There are lots of hard rock bands out there but none of them make me think of Rush when I hear them but that probably has more to do with Geddy's voice than anything else.

So true.

Try:

 

Devin Townsend - Terria

 

 

Not exactly like Rush but you can hear the Prog undertones.

Actually pretty difficult to name bands that sound like Rush. There are a lot of them influenced by Rush, and you could try so many bands in the prog.rock genre, but none of them really sounds like Rush. Also, Rush made a lot of different things.

 

Porcupine a little bit

Tiles

Enchant a little bit

King Crimson's 'Discipline' reminds me of some Rush records

Wow, thanks so much for these suggestions. I've never heard any of these bands. I am really looking forward to Clockwork Angels.

Did you explore all the Rush cd's yet? There are many, as you will know, and there's not a single one of them that's bad. Maybe 2,3 mediocre, the rest is good, very good, excellent or classic.

Oh yes, I have pretty much the entire Rush catalog minus a few of their live albums.

  1. Dredg                       Start with the album El Cielo
  2. Coheed and Cambria    Not sure where to start, I don't care for them.
  3. The Mars Volta           Start with Deloused in the Comatorium  (One of my favorite albums)

I think that Enchant sounds quite a bit like Rush.

^ yep

Wow, I really like Mars Volta, but they are NOTHING like Rush, IMHO, other than the fact that Geddy Lee and Cedric Bixler-Zavala both have fairly high first-tenor voices.
