10. Alex Lifeson
It can be argued that Lifeson is the most underrated member of the legendary Rush trio. And during the 1980s, his guitar ability was certainly on display for all rock fans to enjoy. From “The Spirit of Radio” to “Limelight” to “Red Sector A,” Lifeson came through on some of the best guitar work of the decade – and within the entire Rush catalog. Sure, there are hardcore fans of the band who did not like the more “mainstream” direction Rush seemed to take in the ‘80s, but that didn’t mean Lifeson was any less talented.
