Peart has received numerous awards for his musical performances, including an induction into the "Modern Drummer" Hall of Fame in 1983, making him the youngest person ever so honoured.

They continued to write songs with a more radio friendly format, featuring tighter song structures and songs of shorter length compared to their early albums.

Rush (Rush album)
Rush is the debut studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on March 1, 1974 by the band's own label Moon Records in Canada and by Mercury Records in the United States and internationally. Their first release shows much of the hard rock sound typical of many of the popular rock bands emerging earlier in the decade. Rush were fans of such bands as Led Zeppelin and Cream, and these influences can be heard in most of the songs on this album. Original drummer John Rutsey performed all drum parts on the album, but was unable to go on extended tours because of complications with his diabetes and so he retired from the band after the album was released.
