It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest to know that Genesis are winning this particular poll.

Please this is prog rock. They're pieces. Not going to find Beyonce making hits from this stuff (... shame...?). Voted Salmacis. Genesis have a very good idea what they are doing. Rush had yet to get there. Lamneth is complex and involved but really has little point (i.e. direction) musically. 2112 is much more focused.

Still both Genesis and Rush mastered the prog epic as well as the song forms in their art.

I like both, but as you stated Rush was young and immature, still without much form and they were not there yet. But...that is why that song is so amazing, and the album, it easily could have been their last album and the Rush experiment would have been over. 
Genesis was always Genesis. Rush at first were LZ, The Who, Cream, Yardbirds, then they took the path to become Rush with CoS, risky.....Thank God it worked LOL

Genesis is my #2 band of all time......So there you go.

Me too. I really like both songs, but I enjoy The Fountain of Salmacis more.

Lamneth is my fave Rush epic. Prefer it to 2112. I love the strange atmosphere.


In many of your posts, I see you saying Genesis this or Genesis that, but you voted against Fountain of Salmacis? WTF? Confused


I tend to vote for whatever I prefer for personal reasons at the time. Another time I may have voted Genesis.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
