Technically, John is right, as we've never met  8)  I neither love nor loathe Rush.  They're certainly quite an accomplished trio, and there is some material of theirs I like to go back and listen to, from time to time.  I've never taken keen interest in them, as I have with (e.g.) Jethro Tull and King Crimson.

Somehow I missed this post, Karl. I suppose I'm letting sentimentality rule my opinion of Rush, but then I listen to their music and sentimentality doesn't even cloud my opinion of the band. They're fantastic musicians and I don't think I've even changed my opinion of them. They just hit me in all the right places.
