Some other awards Rush has received. Rush was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994. In addition, they have won numerous Juno Awards and are also on the Canadian Walk Of Fame in Toronto.

And, they are still not even considered for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. That is a travesty.

Looks like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame may be getting over their dislike of prog rock bands. They inducted Genesis this year. So hopefully they will pull their heads out and finally induct Rush in the near future.

Okay...I was teasing with my first post but how is Neil Young not in the CSHOF? Amazing!

Awards and trophies are just fluff. Rush has respect from their peers and and are loved by their fans. And they make a damn good living. As a musician, what more can you want. I'm sure Alex, Geddy, and Neil aren't losing much sleep over not being inducted to the R&RHOF. But they do deserve to be inducted.

When are these guys going to get the credit they deserve and get added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Having Rush and Yes not there by now is just wrong!
