Rush is good but KC is one of my all time favorite bands.

IM(not so)HO the comparison is ridiculous. One is pretty much a hard rock band that has some progressiveness and the other defines what is prog rockLOL
KC is more....creative and interesting, and changed it up often. Rush is a good listen.

I vote Rush.

King Crimson because they never stay the same, they always change and evolve. I love Rush, but KC is just much more important to the genre in general.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

This is like comparing caviar with fish cakes---both can be good if you're in the mood.

Kin Crimson is more highly rated in my own list of faves, but I must admit I listen to Rush more frequently.  A little easier on the ears.  I bet you never thought you'd hear Rush described that way!  Besides, the missus doesn't like King Crimson much.  My vote went to the Crims.

I love both of them at their heights, but Rush, to me, have been the far more consistent over the years.

I have lots of respect for Rush but don't care for them personally. KC on the other hand is one of the greatest rock bands ever imo.

Rush have a sentimental aspect to them that no other band will be able to achieve.

I'll vote Rush. I'm more of a Rush fanboy, than a KC fanboy..

Nevertheless, King Crimson are superb!
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
