Rush

Advantages Superb compilaton of quality live songs
Disadvantages Not enough CDs - I want more

...You may or may not know, but I am a big Rush fan. Having recently buying their latest release “Vapor Trails” and attending an amazing concert on their “Vapor Trails” tour, I got all nostalgic and wanted to play all my Rush albums again! As I listen to most music in the car on my commute to work, I raided my CD collection and found that I had very little Rush on CD!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh!
