The first five

In 1977, "A Farewell To Kings" and is the fifth studio album by the Canadians. The path of the two predecessor was consistently continued. However, entscheidenes elemet was taken to from this album: The Keyboard.

The eh` already spun Prog Hard Rock Group was the keyboards (played by Geddy Lee) incredibly expanded. New dimensions were opened here and were used consistently. The album features with `Closer to the heart` and especially` Xanadu` 2 classics of the band. `Xanadu` is a 6 star song and a model for groups like Queensryche and Dream Theater. However, the song `` A Farewell to kings` and Cygnus X-1` are almost as awesome. Lyrically the whole is again located in the very science fiction field. `Cygnus X-1` continues on the next drive. Also `Cinderella man`, which is something unusual easier to convince.

With "A Farewell To Kings" the heyday of Men Lee, Lifeson and Peart begins. From now be 5 star albums for a long time the rule. In addition, they have greatly influenced generations of musicians and fans with their music. 5 stars for the great album.
