 Topic: Rush vs Led ZeppelinPosted: May 22 2011 at 21:07 |

OK, Rush is a very well apreciated band here in PA. I just got my first album from them (moving pictures), and found them to be hard rock in a big measure, which made me compare tham a bit to Led Zeppelin. I still don't know enough Rush to vote myself, but I'm curious about what will you say.

I like Rush more, though Zeppelin is great too.
Also i hope you enjoy discovering more Rush albums.

Both are in my all time top 3, (Zep, Rush, Floyd), but I grew up on Rush. If this poll wasn't on PA I'd have a harder time choosing.

They're both pretty terrible, but Rush.

Zeppelin is one of the 4 or 5 greatest rock bands of all time. Rush is not even in the equation.

Difficult choice, seeing as Rush started out as a Zeppelin clone. I appreciate the influence Led Zeppelin had on Rush, but I like Rush more and listen to their music regularly. Can't say the same for Zeppelin, so my vote goes to Rush.

I have always thought in the back of my mind...
Cheese and onions I have always thought that the world was unkind... Cheese and Onions Do I have to spell it out? C-H-E-E-S-E-A-N-D-O-N-I-O-N-S oh no... I'd take Led Zeppelin over Rush, but not because Rush sucks and Led Zeppelin is perfect or anything. We could blabber for hours about why I plain don't care for the former, and only mildly enjoy the latter. (I'm speaking in terms of full albums, not single songs. I'm not the hardass I make myself out to be).

Both are overrated within the respective demographic of rock listeners they appeal to but I loved Rush from the get go and LZ has generally been hit or miss, so I'll vote for Rush.

Rush, but quite along way.
Zep are good too though. Rush just have a more interesting and varied catalogue. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Zeppelin are a blues band with severe attitude! And I love that about them, they took a song like Gallows Pole and made it their own.
I would have liked more No Quarter, The Rain Song, Achilles Last Stand and Kashmir style songs from Zeppelin.
So much Zeppelin, Cream and The Who on the Rush debut album...Then Neil came along and they found their calling for sometime. They still play hard but with more finess than Zeppelin did after 4-5 albums as compared to Rush's first 4-5 albums.
Rush for me.

Embarrassing as a contest, Led Zeppelin easily because of the street cred and authenticity. It's not Rush's fault that they're new (ish), but that's how the cookie crumbles. Actually, I don't like the comparison, it's not really fair to Rush.
