 Topic: Battle of the Prog Bands R3D8: Rush vs. GY!BE
Posted: October 18 2010 at 16:06 |
Welcome to Round 3 Division 8 of Battle of the Prog Bands! This time our two contenders are Rush and Godspeed You! Black Emeperor. Vote for your favorite, and the band with the most votes will move onto Round 3. Please do not vote unless you have listened to at least one album by both artists.
Here is the tournament thus far:
Schedule for Upcoming Matches
Round 4 Division 1 - October 21
Round 4 Division 2 - October 26
Round 4 Division 3 - October 29
Round 4 Division 4 - Novermber 2
A rather odd comparison. I pick GY!BE as Rush just hasn't been doing it for me lately.

Rush by the amount of distance from here to Cygnus X-1. (Approximately 6000 light years, or 2000 parsecs, or around
5.67631704 × 1019 meters.

Jon, you like Rush? I must say, I'm extremely surprised.

Why are you surprised? I don't listen to them constantly, but I love certain albums (most specifically A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres, and to a slightly lesser degree Moving Pictures).

GY!BE
Used to love Rush, but I like them less every time I hear them for some reason.

GY!BE are one of my biggest PA recommendation disappointments. Rush are my favorite band. I do believe that the distance in Jon's equation probably applies to me as well.

Wow apples and oranges, gotta go GY!BE though. Always in the mood for some of the best post rock around. Rush are great too though but I can't see them ever competing against F# A# (infinity)

This really isn't a fair comparison. I'm not voting on this one.

Rush by miles and miles. I was lucky enough to see them live for the first time last friday (it was the first time they came to Argentina too)
