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.
