It was an anxious week for fans of the Canadian power trio Rush, as drummer Neil Peart dropped the r-word - "retired."

Peart told Drumhead magazine that his daughter Olivia often introduced him to her school friends as a "retired drummer," which set off a firestorm of speculation among Rush fans that the band is breaking up.

Front-man Geddy Lee explained that Peart has retired from touring, but hasn't actually left the band.

Peart's writes almost all the band's lyrics, which are often influenced by mythology and science fiction. It occurred to the Because News team that the song titles could be mistaken for fantasy novels.

Because News panellists Jasmeet Singh (a.k.a. Jus Reign), Ashley Botting and Kris Siddiqi played a round of "Hi-Fi or Sci-Fi" where they had to distinguish Rush songs from book titles.

Play along at home. Guess if the title is from a Rush song or a sci-fi or fantasy novel, then roll over the image to see if you're right. Listen to the audio to see how you compare to our panel.
