When I was studying at the University, I met a guy who loved Rush, we listened to it for hours every time I visited him, and even when he visited me he would bring Rush CDs (or was it tapes or vinyl? memory fades) to listen in my (well, it was my father's but I kept it in my house for a couple of years) Bang & Olufsen system, you could hear Rush 2 blocks away :). So, all that to say that I like Rush, but for me the best bands (we|a)re Queen and Pink Floyd. (and I never listened any of them live :() (my friend went to Toronto once just to be in one of Rush concerts, in the mid/end 90's)
