Problem is Geddy's probably not even the best keyboard player on most of Rush's albums....

 

to wit

 

Counterparts

John Webster – additional keyboards

 

Presto

Rupert Hine – additional keyboards

Jason Sniderman – additional keyboards

 

Hold Your Fire

Andy Richards – additional keyboards, synthesizer programming

 

Power Windows

Andy Richards – additional keyboards

Jim Burgess – additional synthesizers

 

 

....let the hate begin

 

:P

Yes, on Tears, Different Strings and Witch Hunt IIRC.

 

Jason Sniderman played on The Garden too.

Of course doesnt have the technical ability of Banks Wakeman etc but Ged's keyboards as beautiful, creative and artistic as any of them - particularly in the background, more subtle sounds he makes ie/ you hardly hear the keyboards in BU2B but they exquisite and perfectly Rush. Another example Cold Fire, just gorgeous stuff in background you hardly hear and you know straightaway are Rush keyboards - probably the beauty of the whole band really, every note played you know is Rush and couldnt be anything else really

 

Keyboards on Cold Fire are probably played by a guy called John Webster.

It’s a complete embarrassment.

 

Geddy finished higher than Herbie Hancock, Pete Bardens, Rod Argent, Thijs Van Lear, Jean Michel Jarre, Roger Hodgson, Klaus Schulze, Kevin Moore, Jan Hammer, Mike Pinder, Jem Godfrey, Neal Morse, Joe Zawinul and Dave Greenslade.

 

:facepalm:

 

I thought 19 was too high, but some of these names being lower on the list than Geddy is just ridiculous.

 

Especially people like Herbie Hancock, Jean Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze, Thijs Van Lear and Mike Pinder
