Well, not the Rock&Roll Hall of fame in the US (which is a terrible oversight so far on their part), but the Canadian Songwriter's Hall of Fame. The trio was inducted and, boy did it look good on 'em.

About friggin' time!
And way overdue for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if you ask me.
And on another note... they are touring again this summer! A few dates are trickling out, but nothing official yet. I can't wait! woot!

To me RUSH is a first ballot hall of fame entry no matter what country. Simply amazing songwriting, musicianship and performances all around.

I've heard they're going to tour for a year and a half, with a new recording out next year.
I've seen these guys at least a dozen times. Each time is better than the last! See them while you can.

Yeah; I was just kidding. I'd let him in just on account of that face paint! I mean--don't wanna deny a guy who looks like a berserk Scotsman...

Camera Eye live.

Enough said.

OMG! You don't like Rush?
Heh...I actually liked at least one Angel song [and their mirror/inversion legible logo] And some Kansas, too. Some Rush lyrics are meh, and Geddy Lee's singing isn't exactly rich, especially early on, but the music is all that, and then some.
Concerts are amazing, seen them more than anyone except Peter Gabriel.
