I agree for the most part. Songs like Time Stand Still and Turn the Page from Hold Your Fire still get me a little misty, and then there was a large stretch where Peart was channeling his inner struggles, but finally hit home (for me anyway) with Counterparts. Cut to the Chase, and Cold Fire are Rush at the best they could be at that point in their career. Cold Fire has some intense cymbal riding when it gets moving, and Alex's solo is simple yet powerful. I love this tune, such a great slow burn feel:

PLANK, couldn't agree more!!! Feel the same way about Zep's I'm Gonna Crawl, their last official release. (Coda was old outtakes that were released to satisfy a contract with Atlantic Records)

We could be talking about Quantum Mechanics and it'd somehow come back to Zep at some point. That's an endearing quality you have.
How 'bout that cover album Rush did, ey?
