In The CD Tray

Rush - Moving Pictures
The helium-fueled Canadian prog rockers, talked about as much for their cover art as their music, seem to have been going since Victorian times. Haven't bought an album for several years (since "Roll the Bones") but their vintage stuff is still amazing.
Rush - A Farewell to Kings
Yes, more from Toronto's finest. Quite early stuff here (circa 1977) with several classics on this disc - Xanadu, Closer to the Heart and Cygnus X-1, the first part of what would become Hemispheres blah blah blah blah blah. Rush - you either love them and know everything or you laugh at them and don't care.
Rush - Permanent Waves
I think this album, along with the single The Spirit of Radio marked the first time that most of the British public had ever heard of Rush. For a brief time it looked llike the band I'd banged on about for years might actually become mainstream. Then everyone forgot. It was like one of those sci-fi memory ray things - I woke up one morning and nobody knew who they were again.
