RUSH A band which has been around for some time but only recently emerged from the head-banger hard rock cucoon in which so many bands begin careers. A three man band with a true feel for sf and the ability to make a song/story come alive through music: I too like Rush, but they did not only recently emerge from their head-banger hard rock cucoon -- they did that in about 1975 after their third album (they now have nine studio albums). For three or four albums they did absolutely great music which almost always had a science fiction or fantasy theme. Unfortunately, on their last three albums, they have sold out (for megabucks, I guess) and do pop (good pop, but still pop -- not nearly as good as their vintage stuff) and have greatly reduced the amount of science fiction content in their music. -Doug Alan -------
