I've thought of this before, but it would be neat if people who vote would post their favourite albums by both bands, and mention which albums they've heard.  I still don't have Blue Lambency Downward by Kayo Dot, or the KD/BPS album, and my favourite KD album thus far is Choirs of the Eye.  For Rush, my oldest friend is an uberRush fan and got me into Rush 25 years ago with Hemispheres (an album I adored on first listen), and subsequently I have heard all of the Rush studio albums, and several live albums, because of him (and the 70's - early 81 albums I've heard a great many times).  I never got into the late 80's and up Rush albums, but perhaps because I was sharing his father's resort house with him for six months (what a beautiful home that was), I got very tired of hearing Rush (and he probably got tired of hearing Monty Python and Cheech & Chong records LOL).  I do still like Rush, though.  My favourite is All the World's a Stage, and my favourite studio album is Caress of Steel (used to be Hemispheres).

Kayo Dot gets my vote! I just love experimental music and never got into hard rock. Rush could be the greatest hard rock band in the world, but avant garde always has the upper hand in my book.

LOL No, but boy does she look similar to someone I knew well in Japan in that picture (guess that's why I chose that picture; there's still a little inner mounting flame... oops, wrong poll).

Well I, for one, agree. Obviously that isn't the consensus, though.

At the very least, this thread has accomplished something in causing some of us in checking out other Kayo Dot albums.  Because Dowsing Anemone is anything but interesting.

With Rush, I don't listen to anything after Movingpics, after that it was pretty meh IMO.
Kayo Dot, just kick ass and more ass.
Blue Lambency Downward is incredibly addictive and one of the most emotive albums (and overall one of the best IMO) to come out this year.
Oh, and I voted Kayo Dot:D

Add me to the list of people sad over KD's defeat Unhappy. Rush just doesn't seem to do much for me..

Just goes to show that when you have wildly innovative vs. safe, people take safe.
