I believe Genesis is the most popular prog group in PA. End of polls.

Genesis, easily. Rush is lacking progressivity to me, I mean richness Smile.

Genesis.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

I agree.  I like how they sort of orchestrate their music.  Not that there's any orchestra but just the way they develop their music is quite intricate.  The interlude of Mad Mad Moon is a good example of what I am thinking.

Genesis has some really good albums, but they just have never really clicked with me the way that Rush clicked with me.

The poll is about the two most popular prog bands in PA. As long as they are prog, the poll makes sense. And it's so supposed to be for fun so forget tying to make sense of it and have some fun. In two days from now no one will care who voted for who, who won, and what band's were even in the poles unless members go back and look up the poll. (like me) Wink

Rush of course. Better musicians, more great albums, and they can dance.

Went for both. Probably my 2 favourite prog acts, and both have written so many great albums. Even though Trespass, Foxtrot, and The Lamb would make my top 10, Rush is more powerful and awesome to play to Confused

But in all honesty I don't think 3 very good musicians can top 5 genius musicians.

That's a weird comment. Rush are rock with proggy overtones? I think you should get more Rush albums, maybe you're refering to their 80's albums.

And how can 3 musicians top 5 musicians?? It's not math man. By this logic you should love Gentle Giant more than Genesis and Asia more than Rush.

  Genesis, easily my favorite band. With that said I really like a lot of what Rush did, but Genesis resonates with me more.
