Love Tool and Rush but this is extremely uneven so I'd thought I'd even it up.

Whoops, how did I miss this one? Well, the right band won anyway.  But Tool are great, too, I wouldn't really have wanted to vote against them...

I'd pick Tool by miles. I find their music more complex, creative, emotional, and overall far more superior. I can't hate on Rush though. |
I getcha man. For me, Tool was a far more deep and emotional experience. I listen to Rush and think "pretty good" I hear Lateralus or 10 000 Days from beginning to end, it's just a mind blowing journey that leaves this feeling with me even after the record is over. Rush just never did that for me.

Not a big Rush fan. I get quite tired of them, very fast.
Tool on the other hand, had me at hello.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Just about everything Tool is annoys me. MJK, blech. The mechanicalness, and just about everything about their music... *heaves*

Ah, finally some people who share my opinion!
I think we're going to have to separate the 70s-80s bands and the 90s-00s bands to give any modern bands a fair shot.

Never got into Tool (I tried) Rush for me this poll ,At this stage in the poll Rush are really taking Tool to the cleaners I'm a little surprised in the outcome as I know Tool has legions of fans , maybe they haven't come out of their woodwork's yet.
