Tom Sawyer is one of those songs that grabbed me from the first time I ever heard it on the radio...I was immediately stopped in my tracks. I think I hawked that same radio station for days hoping to hear it again. Of course, it became a big hit so I didn't have to wait forever. I would eventually have it on tape. I remember the first time I heard that song on a killer stereo. I had already heard the song for weeks and then I heard on a big big system - mindblowing. Rush is one of the few '70s acts that *successfully caught the vibe of new wave music and incorporated into their act and still retained that air of edgy hard rock relevence (maybe The Cars too, if for a couple of albums).



*I guess you could include King Crimson, depending on your definition of the word 'success'
