Yes on all counts.

I like both quite a lot, but I like Yes more.

Major Yes-head here.

I love Rush!  Definitely one of my top 30 bands, maybe top 20. But Yes is in the top 5 for me.

Lyrical sophistication?  Confused  I do like Geddy's singing more than Jon's but I'd be in a minority on this forum in saying so.  Anyway, Yes had much greater capacity to reinvent themselves so in spite of their being far more inconsistent than Rush, they get my vote.  Rush's style has pretty much been frozen since Permanent Waves with only minor and not so significant changes from time to time.

Yes is cool but they lack the edginess and lyrical sophistication of Rush. Plus Geddy sings better than Jon.
