Rush: '80s
Apple Music
Rush radically overhauled their approach to prog rock in the '80s. One of the trio's most beloved anthems, “Tom Sawyer” reflects their adoption of New Wave's punchy synths and economical hooks. The snaking “New World Man” pivots on a reggae-like groove echoing The Police's rhythmic agility. More a sonic painting than a rock jam, “Mystic Rhythms” is art pop awash in spatial chords and gauzy textures.
