"Working Man" is a song by progressive rock band Rush off of their debut
album, Rush. The song deals with people in the working class and their
life. The song features an instrumental section in its middle portion.
Donna Halper, a DJ working at WMMS, a radio station in Cleveland, Ohio,
selected "Working Man" for her regular play list. The song's blue collar
theme resonated with hard rock fans and this newfound popularity led to
the album being re-released by Mercury Records in the U.S. Despite its
popularity, it has never been released as a single. On the live album All
the World's a Stage, the song segues directly into "Finding my Way" and
one of Neil Peart's drum solos.
The song is written in E minor and begins with the riff E5-D-A/E5-C-D. The
solo was voted 94th in Guitar World magazine's list of the 100 greatest
guitar solos.[LINK: http://guitar.about.com/library/bl100greatesti.htm]
