>Can't believe there are so many Rush fans on a BOC list.  I can't see
any connection between the two.  Any theories?

Simple - they both play excellent music!  ;-)

Seriously though, both bands had a reputation in the 70s for being
sort of
"thinking man's" rock, especially in terms of lyric, with lots of
emphasis on science fiction.  I think that's one of the main tie-ins.
