This article has been marked as needing immediate attention.

Bands and artists should be notable within the genre. They should already have a Wikipedia article that can be linked to from this article. If the artist is not notable enough to have their own article, what makes them notable enough to simply have their name mentioned here with no context or citation? See the Notability (music) page. And pay particular attention to the tests in the section called "If the subject is not notable". Bands/Artists have been removed from these timeline pages for not even meeting that bare minimum of tests. --Nickelarcade (talk) 00:08, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone can help with these tasks (they are in order of priority, highest first):
- Add internal links for all bands to their Wikipedia articles, if missing. If there is no article for the band, consider removing them from here (see above).
- Add citations for all Events.
- Add citations for all band formations, reformations and disbandments.
- Clean up band names so that just the name is showing. No need for extra info about the band (e.g. country of origin) unless there are multiple bands with the same name and clarification is needed.
- Add citations for all albums.

This may be overlooked, but Rush was no longer a band after Neil Peart's daughter died in an accident August of 1997. In the Wiki article and his book it is documented that he told G. Lee & A. Lifeson to consider him "retired". Lee & Lifeson would later put out solo albums prior to Rush getting together again in early 2001. V Schauf (talk) 07:30, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree about Neil Peart (have read the book). It's been added to "Disbandments", but I moved it from 1997 to 1998 as I believe it was after his wife's death in 1998 that he felt done with drums. I found a web reference to a Modern Drummer interview with him and added that as a citation. --Nickelarcade (talk) 22:59, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
