You know, I was gonna post and say my other favorite bands are, Faith No More, King Crimson, Billy Idol, etc,

 

BUT, to be totally honest, I copied all my Rush discs into my computer, and now have a jukebox program that picks randomly from the entire Rush collection, and I have to tell ya, It don't ever get old, and it's all I listen to now. I mean it. Only Rush now! And I got spendy and bought some real good wireless headphones, connected to the computer. Now I can walk a good way down the street with these on. Rush goes everywhere with me now. I am building a Home Theater and now instead of wearing hearing protection, I wear my headphones that stop the outside sound! I can go outside, cut some wood on the table saw, bring it back in, etc, etc, the whole time Rush jukebox right there with me!

Funny you mention Faith No More. A guy I work with has been yapping about a band called "Coheed and Cambria" lately. I gave them a listen, and their singer sounds like Rush + Faith No More.

If you like Kansas, give the new, or dare I say old Proto-kaw a try. Kerry Livgren is up to some great riffs backed by his thoughful lyrics.

I figured your username was a reference to Steve Walsh's solo album. wink.gif

What a great question! I had to stop and think for a long time as to what other bands I actually enjoy. Rush seems to have cornered Rush fans in with a superior product. I recall running into Rich Williams guitarist for Kansas, and all I could think to ask him was, what do you think of Rush? Kansas was my favorite band at the time. Thats when I knew Rush was my new favorite band and has been ever since.
