Re: true....
I really got into rock music around 1988 (college years, for me), mostly through The Who and Jethro Tull, so yes, I discovered Rush through Presto and Hold Your Fire. HYF is easily my favorite Rush album. The two pre-Permanent Waves albums I've heard of their - 2112 and A Farewell to Kings - were both very boring to me, and I quickly sold them.
I am a huge Jethro Tull fan. I have nearly everything they've released. They have their ups and downs as any band with a 35-year history does, but by and large they are terrific. Unfortunately, the only time I saw them live was 1989, which was a weak concert in support of one of their worst albums (Rock Island). On the other hand, I have very much enjoyed their last few albums, and Ian Anderson's Rupi's Dance solo album is fantastic. It seems like his voice is finally back close to where it was before he lost it in the mid-80s.
