So which band do you prefer over all? Genesis or Rush? If you are only a fan of the PG/SH era I will ask that you either don't vote or vote for number 4* and the same thing with Rush( but with post MP). This is about the entire careers of both bands. Thank you.
* Preferring the SH/PG era is not the same as hating or disliking all of the other eras of the band. So if you are at least ok with the post SH era and don't hate it then you can vote for 2 otherwise I ask that you please don't for the sake of keeping this poll as fair as possible. The same thing goes for Rush and their post Moving Pictures era.

Wait a second. Wasn't this your response from the other poll? "At the end, the label doesn’t matter at all to me. I like their music and that’s all that matters. " How can you like their music but then vote neither?

Well, if you're going to dump all their crap in there, then neither.

Rush, easily. I dig Genesis (especially the albums immediately following Peter's departure), but Rush is the more consistent band. Yes, Rush streamlined their sound in the '80s, as most '70s bands did, but they didn't succumb to the whims of the pop sirens. They just kept evolving, they kept making good music.

Well, sue me but I don't like it when someone says "I only like the PG era" or whatever. Because then I would have to have it listed as PG era Genesis. When I say Genesis I mean the whole band not just one era of the band.

Because the premises that have been set on the poll. I like the early Genesis, not after Hackett left, so it limits my choices. I vote neither for that reason only. I like both bands a lot, but from the albums I like, both from rush and Genesis, I cannot really pick and choose between them, so I also voted neither, meaning I don’t prefer one over the other.

You have tons of albums before the trio era though, it's not like somebody is saying they only like the Anthony Philips era, or the Syd Barret era in Pink Floyd, etc. I mean, you can find tons of Rolling Stones fan who don't care for post Exile on Main Street era, or Jethro fans who don't care post-Stormwatch, Kinks, R.E.M, etc. I like the Collins era but I don't like they Ray Wilson era, I still consider myself a fan.

There's only one Ray Wilson album though so that's a bit different.

I probably prefer Rush a little bit over Genesis but I might vote for Genesis anyway(or at least both equally). I know Rush fans like to think that Rush never sold out but ultimately it's about the quality of the music. Plus was the PC era of Genesis really that bad?

My two favourite bands! Genesis has been my fav band ever since I discovered them so my vote goes to them. Selling England and Foxtrot are my two favourite albums, followed by Hemispheres
