Lee Lifeson and Peart I have to make a case for Geddy Lee Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart as a songwriting team meeting all of the criteria of this article If we re including Lennon McCartney Henley Frey Fagen Becker Page Plant and Andersson Ulvaeus then Lee Lifeson Peart belong here Not speaking as a Rush fan specifically although I am but more from the standpoint of body of work general reputation and overall collective musical talent and teamwork Strictly considering the quality of their work they re easily peers of Lennon McCartney if not the Gershwins or Rodgers Hart Hammerstein and deserving of recognition
