"Working Man" is a song by rock band Rush from its debut album, Rush. The song deals with people in the working class and their lives. Its blue-collar theme resonated with hard rock fans in Cleveland (where the song was regularly played on WMMS), and this newfound popularity led to the album being re-released by Mercury Records in the United States. Despite its popularity, it has never been released as a single, possibly due to its length (7:07). 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.

  • "Working Man" is a song by rock band Rush from its debut album, Rush. The song deals with people in the working class and their lives. Its blue-collar theme resonated with hard rock fans in Cleveland (where the song was regularly played on WMMS), and this newfound popularity led to the album being re-released by Mercury Records in the United States. Despite its popularity, it has never been released as a single, possibly due to its length (7:07). 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 middle of the song features an extensive instrumental jam with two guitar solos by Alex Lifeson and freestyle bass playing by Geddy Lee. It was voted 94th in Guitar World magazine's list of the 100 greatest guitar solos. Two versions of the song are available as downloadable tracks for the music video game series Rock Band. One is a cover based on the original recording, while the other is a never before released master track with an alternate guitar solo. The alternate version proved so popular that the band released it on the iTunes Store. "Working Man" was also featured in episodes of the television shows, My Name is Earl and That 70's Show.
