BGS 9.5 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Plommy, I can tell you with absolute certainty, Caress of Steel was in the top 4 I bought. I wore that album out to the point it was so warped it wouldn't play anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember my buddy coming over to my house with a big JVC boombox playing Rush's "Tom Sawyer" on the cassette player that he recorded from the album and I was hooked. Had no idea they were a local band from Toronto. Easily my all-time favourite rock group. Going to see Rush at Maple Leaf Gardens was always a great joy.
