I really thought KC would be winning this poll by a much wider margin. I do like what I've heard of Rush, but I would say KC has reached higher peaks than Rush. Anyone can think of at least one Rush song that could win a poll against "Starless"?

For me, yes. I'll list some:

The Pass

YYZ (and just about every other track on Moving Pictures. actually)

Red Barchetta

La Villa Strangiato

Bastille Day

Something for Nothing

Jacob's Ladder.....

I could go on for some time.

I'll add

Cygnus X-1

Xanadu

By Tor and the Snow Dog

on the other hand how do we know they will win in a poll. Ermm

Of course I meant in a poll. Surely there are many people who will like many songs more than Starless... but if you make a poll, which song could actually beat it? Of course, it's rather easy to find out, one only needs to make the poll. Perhaps later on I'll do it... but there are many songs suggested, and people may grow tired of seeing so many polls of "X Rush Song vs Starless".

I know what you meant. No need to explain I ain't thick. What is the problem?

I meant no offense, sorry. And by the way, I actually overlooked your final sentence (about "how do we know they will win in a poll"), otherwise I might not even had replied at all, or I would have replied in a different manner perhaps. However, still, which one song would you put against Starless? We may just make the poll and find out.

more music to headbang to and not much ambience. I respect Crimson don't get me wrong but how many great albums does Rush have:Caress of Steel, 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres,practically everything up to Hold Your Fire is gold to me. What does Crimson have that is perfect: Nothing Yeah I said it nothing they're just average

In The Court Of The Crimson King, which trumps all of Rush's work.

Sumdeus - unique, ambitious music with a wide range of influences and ideas.

^ What are you twelve?

Ok you made your point Rush and Genesis are better than Crimson. Anything else you wanna get out of your system??

Both are not better than King Crimson they are just my preference, that's all

Do you understand every one here has an opinion and it might be different than yours.

Please respect it.

The "debut" band of prog, KC.

Actually Traffic had a Prog Rock album out in 1968 before Crimson ever came to be? Shocked

King crimson.

Two of my favorite bands ever, but Rush without a doubt

Mark your calendars for the new Ozark Soundscape album-June 20

My vote would go for King Crimson. Although Rush is an excellent band, they aren't that eclectic, diverse, experimental as King Crimson.

The fact that so many books still...

^look guys it's the real holy trinity! :P
