The talk of Rush and college made me think of this song.
When I was studying English in university we had a lecture on Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem «Kubla Kahn; or, a Vision in a Dream». We were supposed to prepare by studying the poem on our own before the lecture, but I had been out sick, so I came unprepared. I could still follow everything the lecturer went through, because I had been listening to Rush while I was sick.

They are defintely "cerebral" but the sun is shining and the beach is covered in gorgeous girls today, so...
I have never heard any Rush song all the way through, although I stipulate to Alex's guitar capabilities. I can't get past Lee's vocals...

You are missing out on a universe of inspiring musicianship. Even if you just made a playlist of their instrumentals, of which there are many, you'd be enlightening yourself greatly.
IMHO, for a modern rock musician to not study Rush's body of work is akin to a student of literature not reading the classics.
never knew they produced instrumentals!

There are a couple of songs on this list that name-checked around here pretty often.

This one may not be Robert's cup of tea, but if ever there was a song made for the Stereo or better yet headphones it is this masterpiece. Check out the sick licks. This song is almost an instrumental with a few batches of lyrics thrown in once in awhile.
PS. I am in some people's camp when it comes to Geddy Lee's voice.
The high shrill edgy style of his youth is my preferred time period.
Once his voice got lower and almost where he was off key was indeed hard for me to hear as Rush came towards their end.

HAHA I can't help myself. If I am OCD about one thing, it is all my favorite Rush songs.

Rush!!
I couldn't imagine growing up without Rush. I've seen them live more than any other band.
I find it easy to get lost and day dream when their music is on. There will never be another band like them. That's a fact.
Ohh, and it's very addictive to "Air bass" to Rush.
