Which of these 1976 great albums you like more? And which album is more influential to the later period of rock/metal music, in your opinion? I would pick Rising, slightly.

Rainbow Rising. "A Light in the Black" is one of my all-time favorites. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Rising - the most epic and heaviest B-side to any album ever. -------------

In terms of personal preference? Rising by a very wide margin. Tarot Woman is one of rock's most powerful openers, and Dio's voice is pure testosterone. I'm not sure which one I'd consider more influential, though; I hear shades of both in a lot of stuff that came after. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

Rising for Stargazer, 2112 for the Overture, Syrinx and probably A Passage to Bangkok. I think they are both equally influential on hard rock. Both essential. |

Very difficult this one. 2112 and Stargazer are such magnificent tracks that give me such great pleasure to listen to. Both great albums. Nope cannot decide |

2112 for me. Not Rush's greatest album, but very good. Rising is quite good but I've never been a huge fan of Rainbow. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Rising has nothing quite like 2112 itself, but it does have Stargazer and A Light in the Black. Plus, the rest of the album is better than side two of Rush. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Both damn fine albums, but I'll vote Rising. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |
