They are one of those acts like say Ted Nugent that are tough to take for people who were only Rock congniscent from The Smiths onwards. For heads who were buying records before 1976 then it is not such a stretch to see their virtues. I can see no reason why someone who gets Drums and Wires wouldn't get a couple of Rush records if they parked their Post Punk credentials for five minutes. I would also argue that every head collection would benefit as much from the addition of 'Working Man' from the first record as they would from "Split" or "Montrose".

If you can get past the singing there's a lot to be said for their 70s output. That's a big if' for a lot of folks but I'd recommend giving "Farewell To Kings" a spin and if that grabs you keep digging. It's the bravest post punk (rather than Post Punk) statement from one of the prog dinosaurs. Unless you fall in love with them I wouldn't come any nearer the present than "Hemishperes" though.
