Well if you are only friends with people who love farewell to kings I guess not lol
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

To be honest I don't play that much Sabbath or Rush these days...but in the end I'd rather listen to Rush over an extended period of time than Sabbath who would eventually give me a headache.

Sabbath by a good bit.

Better get more tar-n-feathers as I prefer Rush's first album over some of those others...

That's pretty much exactly how I feel too. It's like this though. There would be no metal without Sabbath and no prog metal without Rush.

These are both a great selection of albums. It's real tough, but I went with Black Sabbath. IMO, they were a bit more consistent than Rush.

It's Rush as the cream of their collection is assigned to this poll (I'm sure the same could be said about the 'Sabbath on hand). I simply could never digest that much 'Sabbath.

Black Sabbath, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is the only 3 star album out of the rest of those being 5 stars.

2112, A Farewell to Kings, Permanent Waves, and Moving Pictures are all 5 star albums for me, but Hemispheres and Signals (While both still good) are weaker.

Rush
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

Black Sabbath ***˝
Paranoid *****
Master of Reality *****
Vol 4 ****
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath ****˝
Sabotage ****˝

2112 ****
A Farewell to Kings *****
Hemispheres *****
Permanent Waves *****
Moving Pictures *****
Signals ****˝

Two of the best runs in history in my opinion, if not the best.

Rush easily. Nothing against Sabbath. great band with great output but Rush is my favorite and that particular run of Rush albums is my favorite of their catalogue
