I've inexplicably become a huge fan of Rush in the past few weeks. What started as a curiosity has really gotten out of hand and I ended up buying Moving Pictures, Signals, Presto, Counterparts, Test For Echo. I'm looking at picking up Grace Under Pressure and Permanent Waves as well. What else should I look into beyond the scope of Rush? This kind of music has largely gone by me unnoticed. Recommendations?

het posted:Man, I dunno how I missed this. Permanent Waves is probably my favorite from their catalog, but if you like the direction they moved in with Moving Pictures and Signals, you should definitely pick up Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, and Hold Your Fire, all of which I would say are a lot better than Presto. Permanent Waves should probably be your first purchase though as I think it provides a good bridge from their 80s sound and their 70s sound (and it's also more consistent than a lot of their albums). I think I'm more partial to the synth-era of Rush than any other. I got Grace Under Pressure and it's fantastic. I think AfterImage has to be one of my favorite songs at this moment. Amazon has recommended Yes and Genesis, so I may check those out and see how they fare. Thanks for the recommendations, I'll try to give Coheed and Cambria a listen with an open mind, but what I heard I didn't much care for. Maybe I'll give it another shot. edit - And I dig Presto quite a bit, actually. Show Don't Tell is a pretty good song imo and the entire album is in that vein.
