I also love Run Like Hell. You mentioned Kate Bush, and others, links. I'll come back.

Oh, I was a HUGE Rush fan. Saw them in concert in 1997. Like a lot of things I listened to regularly in the 90s, I still listen to them from time to time (
Counterparts during my last road trip in July). I was very into progressive rock in general. One of the relatively few stasis points between fellow Eratospherian Quincy Lehr and I is a former love for Van der Graaf Generator. I won't link to any of it here, because it probably wouldn't appeal to anyone...but Peter Hammill's lyrics were true poetry. I know that's said about a lot of lyricists, but it really does apply.
Funnily enough, unlike most forty-somethings, most of what I listen to these days is new. Also unlike most forty-somethings, my tastes have only gotten heavier over the years, so hardcore punk, metalcore, and various other heavy genres are most commonly in my CD player. And yes, I still listen to CDs -- partly because I started buying CDs in the early 90s and have over 1000 of them, and partly because no one will ever convince me that .mp3s capture the true range of audio.
