in Two decades you would have Roll the Bones, Counterparts, Test for Echo, Vapor Trails, and Snakes and Arrows.  What order would you put them in?  I would rate them:

Counterparts
Snakes and Arrows
Roll the Bones
Test for Echo
Vapor Trails

A big fan of Genesis. I like many of Yes stuff but not all. Rush has some good things but as an overall is a bit humdrum and repetitive. So I`ll go with option 2.

One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

Rush and Yes are up near my favourite bands, Genesis however is not.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Genesis, can't get enough of them!   I do not hate Rush or Yes, I really enjoy several songs by both bands, but I have never bought any of their cds.  Over the years I have tried to get into Yes by borrowing tapes and cds, and listening to songs on the internet, however they really are not for me.  Of the two I would have to say that I prefer Rush.

I like them all, particularly in the order of the first question.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I like all three very much, Rush is my fave of the three. To me they never dissapointed and never stopped progressing.

I love Rush.  I really like Genesis.  I like Yes somewhat less than Genesis, but that's still a lot. Smile

All three, but kind of a pointless poll if you ask me.  Fan of one of two bands or one band.  Letmethinkoftheodds.

I like all three, but there are portions of their careers I do not care for:

Genesis-everything after Duke-weak
Yes-Most of the Trevor Rabin period and Union-yuk.
Rush-much of the period between Moving Pictures and Vapor Trails-very uneven

Rush is pretty damn great. I haven't listened to that much genesis or yes, the only album I've listened to by them straight through is Close to the edge. And from that album I really only like Siberian Khatru
