Which of these 1976 great albums you like more? And which album is more influential to the later period of rock/metal music, in your opinion?
I would pick Rising, slightly.

Rainbow Rising. "A Light in the Black" is one of my all-time favorites.

Rising - the most epic and heaviest B-side to any album ever.

In terms of personal preference? Rising by a very wide margin. Tarot Woman is one of rock's most powerful openers, and Dio's voice is pure testosterone.
I'm not sure which one I'd consider more influential, though; I hear shades of both in a lot of stuff that came after.

Rising for Stargazer, 2112 for the Overture, Syrinx and probably A Passage to Bangkok.
I think they are both equally influential on hard rock. Both essential. |

Very difficult this one. 2112 and Stargazer are such magnificent tracks that give me such great pleasure to listen to.
Both great albums. Nope cannot decide |

2112 for me. Not Rush's greatest album, but very good.
Rising is quite good but I've never been a huge fan of Rainbow.

Rising has nothing quite like 2112 itself, but it does have Stargazer and A Light in the Black. Plus, the rest of the album is better than side two of Rush.
