Let's talk Rush.
Did ya know that only The Beatles and The Rolling Stones have more consecutive gold albums than The Rush do?

Great thread 'Chula'. I can understand why you felt that way considering you found Rush in 1975. However, you're absolutely correct when you say that 'Signals', 'Grace Under Pressure', and 'Power Windows' (an overlooked masterpiece to me) were another "creative zenith" for Rush.
Perhaps I'm biased (and a LITTLE younger...
) but as a whole I have a SLIGHT preference to 80's Rush over their 70's output. Still, what a catalog! And what a band!
For the record, I'll take Rush OVER The Beatles and the Stones ANY day of the week. Be that as it may, yes, they're definitely in good company (
).
