Agreed - I can sing, I can play bass, I can even play rhythm guitar whilst singing. But I cannot play bass and sing at the same time. I end up slurring my speech and my fingers get confused as my brain is trying to wrestle with two completely different rhythms and melodies. Geddy Lee (and the few other people who are good at simultaneous bass and singing) are either wired differently or somehow train their brains to do multi-thread processing!

My high school as well even earlier than 1972. And a yearbook has RUSH bass player Jeff Jones before Geddy replaced him. Geddy went to Newtonbrook; I went to Downsview Secondary School - the next neighbourhood high school south west of Newtonbrook. ie. they weren't mega superstars then; more like another of the teen/bar bands in suburban Toronto.

Amazing part about Rush, they figured out how to play all their songs as recorded on the albums in a live setting without adding touring musicians, so they are up there playing their usual instruments, Geddy has a pedal synth so he’s playing 2 instruments at once AND singing (and standing on one foot), and all three of them had gear to trigger samplers to add in anything they couldn’t play without having 8 arms and legs.

There was no band I looked forward to seeing live more than Rush. I was a little late to the game getting into their music and didn't see them live until the Presto tour in 1991. After that, I saw them with my brother every time they played in Philadelphia until their final tour, the R40 tour, in 2015. Geddy's vocal range dropped over the years, but their musicianship never wavered one bit. Absolute fucking legends.

It's a little tougher for him live what with singing and all but from his recordings the dude is a seriously tight player and his technique is certainly a big part of his sound. If you used a pick or don't have really good fingering technique it would never sound right. Not with that type of progressive rock so bass driven and percussive/melodic.

Glad to see a Clockwork Angels tune getting some love. That album deserves more attention and credit. In his memoir, Geddy personally ranked CWA as another one of Rush's apotheoses, right next to 2112, Moving Picture, and Power Windows. I recently revisited the album and fell in love with basically every song all over again. CWA, as Geddy described in his book, was really the peak of Rush's return to their heavy rock sound that had started with Counterparts. I have to agree with the bass God himself! Btw I am 27 years old. Young people still love this band!!! Long live Rush.

This is surreal: Last week, after Geddy was nominated "the greatest bassist of all time" in the MusicRadar poll, I scanned the Thomann website and YT for a channel email address to send in a suggestion that this could be a good excuse to do a top-5 on Rush. Thanks for doing it anyway! I would've suggested "Turn The Page", the verse bassline is really cool and at least you wouldn't need to sing on top of it... The verse of "Alien shore" is also great. As for me, I've used "Distant Early Warning" for warm-up... a lot. :-)

The power of Geddy is in the virtuosity of composing certain parts, like for example the piece in "show , don't tell" it is so melodic. And "Hemipheres" of course, The power of bass in La Vila , Free Will, @mikko rinne mentioned Turn the page. Open secrets, and than I forget 100 or more ;-) . And yes, now days there are a lot of great great bass players, but if Geddy play's , you know immediatly it's him.

Spirit of Radio, Subdivisions… Julia, thanks for your take on this pioneer musician who brought such amazing textures to Rush, with that great bass work, AND vocals that were unmatched AND keys… what a talent! And we get to listen to Geddy forever. A thrill.

Julie, I can't argue with any of your selections. However... First and foremost, for all you youngsters out there, any RUSH baseline is a GREAT RUSH baseline. One, often overlooked, most melodic baselines from Geddy is Primer Mover. The Hold Your Fire album, although almost and afterthought in their collection, just doesn't get the respect it deserves.

Big money and YYZ were on point.. missed some of the real top bass lines like the solo in La Villa Strangiato, Geddy slaying it behind Lifesons solo in Freewill, and of course Digital Man.... all golden, well pronounced bass parts

Yes, 'Freewill' is amazing! Another great example of Geddy slaying it behind Alex's solo is 'The Camera Eye'! In fact, the bass always sticks out to me more than the guitar, whenever I listen to that song! 🙂

Subdivisions had some great bass parts (when the synths weren’t blaring). Otherwise, Hemispheres was choc-full-o-awesomness from track to track (add in the odd time signatures, which made EVERYTHING more interesting).

Geddy Lee is a musical monster! Just for the record, you sell him a bit short! On a number of songs, he also plays 6-string guitar along with all the other things he does... it's just crazy how talented he is.

Since you asked what are some of our favorite Geddy Lee bass lines, I'd like to submit "Digital Man" from "Signals." Of course there's so many great Geddy Lee bass lines that I couldn't even round it down to my top 10. But here's one that might fly under the radar. Thank you for making this video!
