The band's original line-up comprised Lifeson, drummer John Rutsey, and bassist and vocalist Jeff Jones (bassist)|Jeff Jones, whom Lee immediately replaced. After Lee joined, the band went through a few line-up changes before arriving at its classic power trio line-up with the addition of Peart in July 1974, who replaced Rutsey four months after the release of their Rush (Rush album)|self-titled debut album; this line-up remained unchanged for the remainder of the band's career. Rush first achieved moderate success with their second album, ''Fly by Night (album)|Fly by Night'' (1975). The commercial failure of their next album ''Caress of Steel'', released seven months after ''Fly by Night'', resulted in the band nearly getting dropped from their then-record label Mercury Records. Rush's fourth album, ''2112 (album)|2112'' (1976, reignited their popularity, becoming their first album to enter the top five of the ''RPM (magazine)|RPM'' Top Albums Chart. Their next two albums, ''A Farewell to Kings'' (1977) and ''Hemispheres (Rush album)|Hemispheres'' (1978, were also successful, with the former becoming Rush's first to enter the UK Albums Chart. The band saw their furthest commercial success throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with most albums charting highly in Canada, the US and the UK, including ''Permanent Waves'' (1980, ''Moving Pictures (Rush album)|Moving Pictures'' (1981, ''Signals (Rush album)|Signals'' (1982, ''Grace Under Pressure (Rush album)|Grace Under Pressure'' (1984, ''Roll the Bones'' (1991, ''Counterparts (Rush album)|Counterparts'' (1993, and ''Test for Echo'' (1996). Rush continued to record and perform until 1997, after which the band went on a four-year hiatus due to personal tragedies in Peart's life. The trio regrouped in 2001 and released three more studio albums: ''Vapor Trails'' (2002, ''Snakes & Arrows'' (2007, and ''Clockwork Angels'' (2012). Rush performed their final concerts in 2015, with Peart retiring from music later that year. Lifeson confirmed in January 2018 that the band decided not to resume activity following the R40 Live Tour|R40 Tour, which was later cemented by Peart's death in January 2020. Lee and Lifeson have continued to periodically work together since Peart's death, including performing at the 25th anniversary celebration of ''South Park'' and tributes to then-recently deceased Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins in 2022. Rush were known for their virtuosic musicianship, complex compositions and eclectic lyrical motifs, which drew primarily on science fiction, fantasy and philosophy. The band's style changed over the years, from a blues-inspired hard rock beginning, later moving into progressive rock, then a period in the 1980s marked by heavy use of synthesizers, before returning to guitar-driven hard rock at the end of the 1980s. ''Clockwork Angels'' marked a return to progressive rock. The members of Rush have been acknowledged as some of the most proficient players on their respective instruments, with each winning numerous awards in magazine readers' polls in various years.
