Lamneth b y a very slim margin. I do love Salmacis but strangely my favourite version is with Collins singing it at Knebworth in 78. Gabriel sings it better but the drumming is far better on that later version and it just has more energy and is better played. Lamneth is my fave Rush epic. Prefer it to 2112. I love the strange atmosphere. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Salamacis - the first Genesis track I ever heard and still one of my favourites. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| I love both songs and bands , but, I vote in Salmacis, due in Fountain of Lamneth, Rush "crawl" in a real prog rock ( and make a great work in this song), however, at this moment Genesis already dominates the style ! |

I prefer Salmacis, but Lamneth is a great song too. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

| does the Rush song have a brilliant Hackett guitar solo at the end? When he was all of 20 years old. I think not. |

Genesis are my favorite progressive rock band, so there’s no way I’m voting against them, especially in this particular poll. Rush could never hold a candle to Genesis. Sorry, folks. ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

In many of your posts, I see you saying Genesis this or Genesis that, but you voted against Fountain of Salmacis? WTF?  ------------- “Music is enough for a lifetime but a lifetime is not enough for music.” - Sergei Rachmaninov |

I tend to vote for whatever I prefer for personal reasons at the time. Another time I may have voted Genesis. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Tunes? Please this is prog rock. They're pieces. Not going to find Beyonce making hits from this stuff (... shame...?). Voted Salmacis. Genesis have a very good idea what they are doing. Rush had yet to get there. Lamneth is complex and involved but really has little point (i.e. direction) musically. 2112 is much more focused. Still both Genesis and Rush mastered the prog epic as well as the song forms in their art. |

I like both, but as you stated Rush was young and immature, still without much form and they were not there yet. But...that is why that song is so amazing, and the album, it easily could have been their last album and the Rush experiment would have been over. Genesis was always Genesis. Rush at first were LZ, The Who, Cream, Yardbirds, then they took the path to become Rush with CoS, risky.....Thank God it worked Genesis is my #2 band of all time......So there you go. -------------

Between the two, Fountain of Lamneth. "Fountains" by Starcastle is better than both.
