To the question 'which of these two are the best?', there is no difference between "Neither" and "Both" .

I have two Rush: Farewell and Hemispheres, one Supertramp: Crime. To strictly judge the bands by these albums I give it to Supertramp.

Both. In fact, both bands were among the first prog bands I've ever heard and included in my discography.

Rush has grown in leaps and bounds musically and conceptually over the course of their career. Supertramp, to me, were a good pop band with a few prog moments. I also think they didn't really grow much other than changing their sound by necessity when Roger Hodgson left.

Supertramp. Because I still listen to Supertramp occasionally. I can't say the same for Rush.

Rush are awesome musicians, but no matter how good they are,
to me, it's always the emotional side that "has" to win,
so a distinctive vote for the Tramp !

If the poll question would be "Which band is better?", I would answer "Rush". But if you ask me, who's the best, I must to answer "Neither".

I prefer Supertramp to Rush, although I must say that I don't like Supertramp anymore as much as I used to do, while my appreciation for Rush has grown a bit through the years.

I have to admit that out of Supertramp's discography I have only heard Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America. I enjoyed both albums, but never felt any serious drive to check out more, unlike Rush, which had me hooked from the first album I listened to on.
So I guess my vote would go to Rush, had I been allowed to partake in the poll. still, sharing my opinion, because I am under the impression that's what forums are for.

Well if you do feel like further listening I strongly suggest trying out Supertramp's first album. It's got a very different sound and has an overall melancholy that you don't often hear in their following discography. Also I find Richard Palmer does a better job on guitar than Roger Hodgson (In particular on 'Try Again'). Hodgson though doing a terrific job on bass (Especially on 'It's a Long Road').
And alternative further listening, try Hodgson's first solo album, 'In the Eye Of The Storm'. Such a similar sound to Supertramp and some brilliant tracks on it too.

The 'Tramps by far for me. Every album they've done up to Brother Where You Bound is a 4 or 5 star album for me.
I could never get into Rush the way that others have, they've always seemed to be a 'wannabe' prog band. I find Geddy's voice to be ear piercing most of the time, the production to be too cheesy, and the subject matter is quite silly. I'd gladly accept recommendations, though.

Supertramp. Rush is quite obviously the more technically skilled band, but their collective songwriting ability doesn't compare to Supertramp's (not to say theirs is extremely exceptional-just better than Rush's).
I'd also say that Rush's music leans toward rhythmic complexity and Supertramp's leans toward harmonic complexity and is more varied than Rush's. I'd rather be Hodgson any day of the week for his songwriting ability rather than have the amazing technical skills that the members of Rush possess.
