Genesis (with one hand tided behind their back). "Nursery Cryme" by itself is 100 times better than anything Rush has ever done (imo).

Rush do almost nothing for me. No contest here in my book.

To me,Rush is a hard rock band that knew how to prog but did not necessarily do it throughout the entirety of their career. While Genesis are in the prog gods, period.

Both are in my top 5 bands of all time but Rush gets my vote.

Yes, it has the five piece version of the band. Did you read my introduction on here?

Yikes! Rush v Styx.....Rush v Journey.....Rush v Sabs (Dio years); Zep; Purp (Mach III).....Rush, Mach I v Mach II v Mach III. Can't fight so far above your weight class and still have an entertaining bout.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

A comparison between Rush and The Police would be more appropriate...

Is that why you voted for them?

I struggled with this a lot more than I thought I would (even though I started the poll). Traditionally Rush has been my number 2 band (right behind Yes). I've seen Rush four times in concert and Genesis so far only once (that will change in December). So despite that I still felt like I should be voting for Genesis for some reason or at least both equally. Yes and Genesis were the two bands I felt really strongly about and at one point it seemed like I could have called them Geneyes. However, over the years Peart's lyrics resonated with me more and they seemed to be more cerebral than most Genesis after 1980 or so. While I don't mind the pop Genesis and probably like it more than most on here I still probably would go for the 80's Rush over eighties Genesis. Anyway, because Rush were down so much on here I decided to pull the trigger and vote for them which I might have done anyway even though it was very tempting to vote for both equally.
