Because I think Rush will win, I voted Magma.

I think that RUSH is more influential among musicians.
If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!

There's one good thing I can say about Rush: I see a lot of Magma-fans with (ageing) Rush-avatars, so I guess its a good starting point.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Ha. I don't know, both bands have their moments, but I'm equally unlikely to listen to either.
