Rush amicably split in 2015 after Peart decided to retire from touring. The last was 2012's conceptual Clockwork Angels. During their final period, they delivered studio offerings that fused heavy and prog in new ways. During the '90s, they shifted toward a hooky and radio-friendly brand of hard rock, best exemplified by 1996's Test for Echo. After 1981's chart-topping Moving Pictures, they began a seven-year period where their recorded sound was dominated by Lee's synth playing that culminated on 1989's Presto. They sold over 40 million records and were nominated for seven Grammys between 1981-2010 they also netted 25 gold and/or platinum albums, and all but three entered the upper half of the Top 200. Rush garnered a large and devoted fan following among hard rock, heavy metal, and prog audiences almost from the beginning. Over four-plus decades, Canadian power trio Rush (bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer Neil Peart) emerged as one of rock's most celebrated and enduring bands.
