| 3 | ''Rush'' is the self-titled debut studio album by Music/{{Rush|Band}}, released in 1974 through the band's vanity imprint Moon Records; it would be reissued by Creator/MercuryRecords later that year once the band signed onto them. The only Rush album not to feature Neil Peart as the drummer, featuring John Rutsey instead. The album has a very strong early 70's bluesier hard rock sound, with strong influences of Music/BlackSabbath, Music/{{Cream}}, and Music/LedZeppelin. |

| 5 | While the overall album has mixed reception for its obvious emulation of more well known 70's rock bands, it is still fondly remembered for the classic Rush songs "Finding My Way", "In The Mood", and of course, "Working Man". |

| 31 | !! Working Tropes: |
| 32 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The music on this album more closely resembles Music/LedZeppelin rather than their ProgressiveRock influenced style, and John Rutsey plays drums on the album. Plus, all the lyrics were written by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson and are less intellectually oriented than Neil Peart's lyrics. |
| 33 | * EpicRocking: "Here Again" and "Working Man" are both over 7 minutes. |
| 34 | * JobSong: "Working Man": |
| 35 | -->''Well, I get up at seven, yeah, and go to work at nine'' |
