?? The OP was clear that we were counting ProjeKts as part of their output. Rightly so I would say. Independent mobile intelligent units as Fripp would say.

I guess I voted already and posted too. Thrak is nice. Space Groove is Fabulous. Deception of the Thrush beyond fabulous.

I don't choose to spin 90's KC, like, at all...but I prefer it to Rush, especially 90's Rush, at that.

Not familiar with THRAK and although I'm a huge Rush fan, their 90s output isn't my favorite. Counterparts is great. Test For Echo is uneven, and the less said about Roll The Bones the better.

I think their eighties output is much more depressing but not too depressing to me.

An odd comparison theme   in that KC only had one LP and Rush had 3....but even so imho Thrak is a far more interesting album.

Rush

I do enjoy 90s KC, at least their 90s work is more enjoyable (to me) than what they did in the 80s.

Rush, by a narrow margin. Mainly thanks to Counterparts. Thrak is the only KC 90's offering. It's an excellent album, but not quite as good as Counterparts.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

You could still vote for Rush like I did though. It's not your fault they didn't put a "I haven't heard both so I won't vote" option. Wink

It's a depressing album to listen to considering the raw talent on it
