Here is a song I recorded that says it all when it comes to honoring the men and women
that served and died.
For Memorial Day, I think it is highly appropriate.

In 400 years, do you think people will know the band Rush? Unlike JSB who is still enjoyed 400 years later.

Thank you for posting the song. I enjoyed it. Myself, not having a
lick of musical talent, I do appreciate good music. My favorite
Instrument is the harpsichord as well as the chello.

For me at least, Rush was one of my most liked bands of the era. I still like to listen to their music. I think Geddy Lee's vocals were excellent. But as with all things, popularity is in the mind of the beholder.
Like many bands, I've often heard their early music played on the radio, but not their later stuff. Actually, I don't think I remember hearing any Rush music past their 1982 Signals album on the radio ('New World Man' and 'Subdivisions') - even later into the 90s, when they had released several more
albums by then. It feels like it's difficult to get a sense of which bands ar
still popular when only their early work gets played on the radio.
Songs from "Presto" and "Roll the Bones" got plenty of airplay here, even after they were no longer "new." I cannot say about now because I have not listened to the radio in a while. Whenever I turn it on, they are usually playing commercials.

Yes :) .. If anything, because of Neil Peart.

Drummers use a metronome. A metronome uses Neil Peart.

I take it Neil is the drummer of Rush?

What area do you live in? I was thinking perhaps in Canada there might be mor
chance of their 'newer' music being played; I'd heard there's a law in Canada where Canadian radio stations must play a minimum percentage of Canadian content (and Rush is a Canadian band).

Neil Peart is arguably the greatest drummer ever.
Bands aren't generally known, or remembered, for their drummers.
It's the lead vocalist or lead guitarist, almost always.

I had side-stage arena tickets to see Rush [and Nash the Sash
combo show] many years ago. I thought those seats would suck.
But they turned out to be quite fantastic cuz I got an
interesting perspective of Neil Peart at work at the drums that
would not be visible from the front.
Sorry, never heard of him.
You should broaden your musical horizons. Neil Peart recently died, but
he was a great drummer.
I recall hearing the following post-1982 Rush songs on FM radio (in SoCal, e.g. KLOS):
- Big Money
- Mystic Rhythms (even used as the theme music in a TV news show) - Force Ten
- Time Stand Still
- Roll The Bones
- Dreamline
- Stick It Out
When a new album would come out, they would definitely play tracks from them more frequently, but those above seems to have lasted beyond just the "new album" phase.
