Both have similarites. it is very difficult to withstand both vocalists due their high pith voices, they get in my nerves. In the requisite of originality I go with VDGG, I think Rush is a mix of Zeppelin with Yes and the most overrated in this site (sorry).

Actually not quite. Rather easy choice. I'll go for VdGG for sheer power in those songs off of H to He and Pawn Hearts (the only ones I own right now - am working on getting more though), Rush doesn't even come close. No matter how much I like Rush I cannot vote for them over VdGG.

Are you feeling okay? Have you smoked anything unusual today? Are you intoxicated? How's your body temperature? Have you been suffering from any hallucinations lately? Are there any traces of blood in your urine? Do you feel any sort of pain anywhere in your body? just checking

I really wish I could understand what all of the fuss is about VDGG, but, I simply don't see it. Believe me, I wish I could.

VDDG! Great music.
Rush is over rated to me. They've had some great albums, but they are very inconsistant.
Not to mention.... Hammil > Lee

I like VDGG more but they really are completely unrelated. I don't think they sound remotely like each other. No real reason for comparison.

Though Pawn Hearts is one of my favorite albums, and I enjoy most of VDGG's other material, I must say Rush has managed to generate much more output while also remaining fairly consistent in quality. Rush for me.

Rush for me. I really like their albums until Exit... Stage left. Later... that's another story.
I don't like VDGG much. They kind of depress me, although I admit they are great musicians.
