Rush released a documentary DVD entitled "Beyond Lighted Stage" in 2010 and it is fanastic. The documentary showcases the history of the band accompanied with photos, live performance, interviews with each band member, past and current producers, record label executives, radio DJs, and testimonies from artists such as Trent Reznor, Gene Simmons, Jack Black, Kirk Hammett, and Zack Wylde. I really recommend watching it if you're a die-hard fan or not. It really puts the bands legacy into perspective and makes you respect their lenghty career and musicianship. Why they haven't been inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame is beyond me. Let's hope for 2013. By promoting this DVD, it also allows me to personally recommend two Rush albums; 1993's 'Counterparts' and 2002's 'Vapor Trails'. Both albums are heavy and riff driven. I'd really like to review them one day, however, my music vocabulary and sense of sound really need to be refined before I attempt to critique such great pieces of music.
