Rush by miles.
I listen to Rush every day; I lost interest in KC around 1970.

Is there a reason for the poll? I haven't seen anyone attempt to compare the two bands...

Very soon, isn't it? 
King Crimson for me. Although they're as old as me, my interest in them has never been lost!

King Crimson by miles. Rush never grabbed me the way Crim did.

These are two bands that have only made material in the '80s that I enjoy. Out of both of their '80s material, I'll have to go with Rush.

I'll vote Rush. I'm more of a Rush fanboy, than a KC fanboy.. 
Nevertheless, King Crimson are superb!

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

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.

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

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’m sorry, but Geddy Lee’s voice makes it almost impossible for me to listen to Rush. KC on the other hand is one of my three favourite bands.
