Neil Peart, Big Yes

ALEX..... not so much. So underrated might be accurate here

I think he has developed a very original style but YMMV
I think Lifeson is the only real reason to listen to Rush. The others often play as if starved for attention. Lifeson plays with a better ear toward texture and arrangement.
