No I guess I am not. 

La Villa Strangiato is an instrumental that you can sing along to.  I know that the Rush haters don't like this song because they can't stand Geddy's voice.  ConfusedWinkLOL

My thoughts exactly.

As of 12/10/14 P.S.T. at 7:30 a.m., you're right - it is no contest: Fracture by FRIPP!!

Rush, La Villa Strangiato.
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.

Interesting comparison - Fracture for me, but nobody sounds more like King Crimson than Rush on LVS. Apart from King Crimson, of course.

I respect Rush for being the musicians that they are, but I never listen to their music.  Fracture definitely wins this one; I don't think there's much of a contest here.

Can't decide. One the one hand, "Fracture" is a tour-de-force in the Crimson catalog. On the other, where else can I hear both The Ramones and Raymond Scott being quoted other than "La Villa Strangiato".
