This is AWESOME, thank you! Long live Alex Lifeson, the most underrated and perhaps most passionate rock guitarist ever to live. He's honest, almost to a fault (almost); doesn't hold anything back but the gaudy tasteless crap that others in his genre insist on throwing in.
Here's what I think is his best. Here Again, By Tor & The Snow Dog, No One At The Bridge, live from ATWAS, every solo in the 2112 suite, A Farewell To Kings, Every solo in the Hemispheres suite, Freewill, Jacobs Ladder, Different Strings, everyone in the Natural Science suite, YYZ, The Camera Eye, The Weapon, The Analog Kid, Digital Man, Losing It, Kid Gloves, Between The Wheels, Emotion Detector, Cut To The Chase, Double Agent.
why does it seem like nobody knows take a friend?

Is Alex still underrated? Yeah, he sure is!
Not as underrated as he used to be,but still underrated. His early soloing is BRILLIANT. They beat the hell out of his current stuff

Alex is by far one of the best guitarist in the world, but I'm not sure if he Is the best...Might be someone else out there better, but who knows?

I think his last real guitar hero shredding solo was on Cut To The Chase from Counterparts.
His older solos are monuments to brilliance. Nothing touches the Freewill bass/guitar breakdown.

alex is THE most underrated guitarist in the history of rock music
perhaps because he is overshadowed by peart and lee
idk but he ROCKS

@LordHershebel Rush as a whole is way too underrated. Being sort of a progressive rock band, they are not well known among many rock and metal fans...
RUSH deserves more recognizes, Peart, Lee and Alex are TOP 5 at their instruments, without a doubt.

That was meant to say By Tor on ATWAS, not No One At The Bridge.

Great choice of underrated solos but, the solo on losing is played by an electric violin (A friend of the band's Ben Mink did it) not by Alex
