Rush!
 
I've been slowly learning to appreciate Primus, but I can only take them in small doses.  The last 20 years or so of Rush's career haven't really done much for me, but that may just be a lack of effort on my part.

Can't stand Primus, love Rush!

I prefer Rush, but I don't feel like voting.

They're both bands who have released a few albums that I love and considerably more that I feel quite indifferent about, but I chose Primus because (for me) they have a better hits to misses ratio.

Yeah, it pretty much went as I thought it would, and I voted for Primus too BTW, even though I am a huge Rush fan. One of my fondest concert memories was seeing them share the same stage back in 1992 on Rush's Roll the Bones tour.

Way cool. Big smile

I've only got two Rush CDs, but I have pretty much every Primus album.  I've known Rush a lot longer though.  Claypool's Live Frogs Set 1 sucked me in four years ago.  Even if you don't like Primus you have to give them the award for weirdness. LOL

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Dunno if you knew but this line is the Primus fanclub's official catch phrase.

During live shows, many fans chant it.

I can understand your irritation with Winona on the radio even though I never listen to radio, even when I have the choice, for a long time now.  The video really cracks me up though.  But finally a poll with two bands that share parity: two male vocalists that have a weird style.


I can handle Claypools vocals. Lee's vocals tire on me very quickly.
