Good one, but I'm a total Rush-head - so I'll let someone else have a go at it....

I'll just add the bonus question: name the "fourth" part of the "trilogy"

you are correct, sir. (hopefully you didn't just google it...) :p

extra special bonus:

name the 'other' four-part Rush "trilogy" that never came to be (it was a joke...), and only had one part of it recorded (and name that tune)

extra EXTRA bonus question - and which song did that tune lose to in the Grammy nominations?

Wow, some hard-core Rush fans here ...

That'd be "Where's my thing?". Didn't even know it was nominated for a Grammy ... shows how much I pay attention.

A couple more great concept albums to check out are Ayreon's "Human Equation" and "Into The Electric Castle." Great fodder for looking at the human experience and evolution.

Google provided a quick answer for that.

I find there are very few casual Rush fans.

Ain't that the truth! 2112 was the first album (and by that I mean vinyl) that I ever bought. I was 10. I'll never forget it - I listened to that over and over and over and over........

Now I've got most all their stuff. They lost me in the 90s, but I got back in with Counterparts. Anything good I'm missing out on?

That's the double truth, Ruth!

Counterparts is excellent.

Test for Echo and Vapor Trails are decent and definitely have their moments (read: they grow on you...), but their latest - Snakes & Arrows - is very good. The tour was excellent(!) I saw them here in St. Paul back in Sept. at the Excel from the 12th row, and it was an outstanding show.

They filmed two shows from the tour in Europe for an upcoming DVD, which should be most excellent...

I'd say if one left off at Counterparts and wanted to catch up on some great modern-era Rush, the single must-have item to get would be the Rush in Rio DVD. The R30 anniversary DVD set is quite good as well, but Rush in Rio is just magical...
