Rush is a Canadian rock band originally formed in August, 1968: presently composed of bassists, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. Rush is a long-standing act, with 23 gold, 14 platinum and 3 multi-platinum albums awarded by the RIAA. They are perhaps best known for their rock opera album 2112, which is set in the future and features the re-discovery of the guitar, a banned instrument.
In the Futurama Episode "Anthology of Interest 2", Fry takes on the space invaders with the help of his "all Rush mix tape" that he has had since his high school years.
