Thanks for the responses.
If you are serious about at least trying out some Rush, then I would
definitely recommend 'Presto' (for the best lyrics, as I've already
droned
on about), and 'Hold your fire'.
Anything from 'Power windows' is what I'd call there post-hippy days,
although I love 'Grace under pressure' and '2112' is possibly the most
popular album of their fans around the world.
The last two albums are quite heavy ('Test for echo' and 'Vapor
trails'),
which was a great surprise as they were getting a bit too 'cultured'
before
that.
If you could see the 'Live in Rio' DVD that came out in the last year or
so,
that would be an even better place to start.
