A Complete1 Rush Discography

1Ok, so I don't have all the common bootlegs listed. Heck, I don't even know if I could turn up that information to anyone's satisfaction anyhow.

The data from this writeup was pulled from a variety of sources, including my incomplete Rush CD collection, CDNOW, the now-defunct National Midnight Star website, and my brain. The classification into eras is my own. Any corrections, please /msg me.
