You don't have to know anything about the band Rush to ace this quiz (though it might make it more fun), but if you're not a fan, maybe this will convince you to become one! This is my first quiz, inspired by a recent LL question that referenced the band (while still being gettable to non-fans).

The title track of Rush's 1978 album is takes its name from a term for part of the Earth or part of the human brain (a dual usage embraced by this 18-minute epic about duality). What is this (plural) song and album title?
Geddy Lee's solo album 'My Favourite Headache' features drummer Matt Cameron, who in 2016 played a handful of reunion gigs with Temple of the Dog, a supergroup made up of members from two iconic grunge bands. Name either of these groups, each of whom also counts Cameron as a member.
An avid baseball fan and keeper league fantasy owner, Geddy Lee is a noted student of the seminal 'Baseball Abstract' series by what writer and statistician who coined the term "sabermetrics"?
