'Don't know what you're feeling but your feeling wrong' cries Geddy Lee in what is a fine Plant esque echoed banshee wail. Though later Rush would add a prog mystique this is still arena rock lacking a deeper quality..aw shucks its still sounds Olympic sized, I'll give it that, unfortunately it has the same power chord crushing style of Led Zeppelin I five years prior, the sound that Kiss were also mining for their similar sounding debut from the same year.

Rush (1974) What You're Doing - LOST 70s GEMS
This rampaging rock number, dominated with a Aerosmith sounding guitar with its rolling, trebly bass lead guitar riff . Of course, the album with it's complete ripoff of the Led Zeppelin sound and even look right down to the double neck guitar and dark and blonde haired frontmen wasn't fresh, but their was some very melodic arena rock. I also particularly love the original drummer John Rutsey's bombastic fills full of rollicking energy and devoid of any jazz sophistication or retro rock n roll; just pure thunder.
