Welcome to Backtracking – the podcast where two old friends take a second listen to influential bands' catalogs. For our first season, we've selected none other than Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Rush.

We want to hear from listeners, if only to prove that they exist. Please contact us with comments, corrections, hate mail, love mail, and photos of your favorite Rush memorabilia. Hit us up at [email protected].
