Me too. The base line, lyrics and drumming are phenomenal. Although Geddy Lee must have loostened the vice grips over the years, last concert I saw he wasn't hitting the high notes like the early albums. What are they like 50 now, clean as ever. Their live performances sound like the albums. Liked the Stones, Zepplin or the Beatles.
Loved the Scorpions, PFloyd, Boston, VH before Sammy, The Who, TESLA, Fixx, I like it all old, new, pop and country too. Southern Rock is my favorite sub category- Skynard,Molly Hatchet, Styx. Saw Almond Brothers open for Stevie Ray Vaughn in the late 80's at a small venue in Tampa called Curtis Hixon Hall. Either band could have headlined. The highlight was Stevie Ray Vaughn demolishing the strings on about five guitars. A roadie would pop out of nowhere and change his guitar and shoulder strap without him missing a lick.
Aussie, I ain't into speed rock but Metallica is a bad a$$ group.
Bradford, that is a good old song.

I'll give my vote for being a Rush fan....probably my first memory of really liking something musically was when I was about 12 and my friends older sister bought the 2112 album....we sat there in the living room with the blinds drawn one afternoon listening to it and it blew our minds......always been a fan....and like Ridge said in concert if you closed your eyes it sounds EXACTLY like the album.... I can also listen to most anything I would say except Jazz.....I dont care who it is that crap all sounds exactly the same to me....Went to one of those Newport Jazz festivals one time and was about ready to kill myself....

And Van Halen before Sammy Hagar was great but I saw Sammy Hagar on his I cant drive 55 tour before he joined VH and it was one of the best shows EVER.....
