There seems to be several of us Love-Hounds that are, or have been, 
musicians. I too have been a bassist and lead singer in a band, but 
we played blues-inspired rock with a couple of ZZ-Top covers...

The way you talk about Rush make me believe I've missed something
important. I have to check this out. A friend once showed me their 
video of "Roll the Bones" (or something like that), but later forgot 
about it. Now it comes back to me. If I like Yes and Pendragon, is 
there any reason I should not like Rush?

Someone (I forgot who, sorry...) said Hounds of Love is a good album
to play to someone listening to Kate for the first time. I have to agree,
especially if they listen to mainstream music.
The Red Shoes may also do the trick.
