Rush is a great band.
Led Zeppelin are legends.
To clarify my point, I think Rush have some very good and interesting albums, yet the music of Led Zeppelin appeals to me more. They influenced rock music as one of the most important bands of the 70's with at least four albums to be considered classics of rock music. Rush on the other hand are also a big name, yet they are neither as innovative (though there is still a dispute whether Led Zeppelin ever have been) nor as much as a musical monument as Led Zeppelin. To me, this poll, same as the "Beatles against Rush" poll, features a band with legendary status and.. Rush. Without a doubt they are a great band, but to me will never reach the same status as Led Zeppelin. And, besides their debut album, Rush hardly is comparable to Led Zeppelin, to me the only thing in common being that they have guitar, bass, drums and vocals.
To make it short: I simply like Led Zeppelin more

While I am GLAD Rush are still rocking and still together, I wouldn't count this as a reason as to why Rush are better. Both had their share of tragedy given the deaths fo Bonham and the recent passing of John Rutsey.......Plant lost a son.....Peart lost his wife and daughter. Zep quit after Bonham died and they shouldn't be faulted for that.
As for Rush being more interesting, not sure about that one either.
I am a fan of both. This was the hardest poll yet.

I think there is always something to be said for longevity, perseverance, and consistency. But I do find Peart's lyrics more thought-provoking (science, literature, even satire), and Lee's bass playing is incredibly innovative. Not to say Led Zeppelin I don't like, by no means- just between the two, it's no question for me. ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

Tough, but Rush fans must admit that without Zep there would be no Rush. Of course Rush may have been proggier, but Zep with Achilles Last Stand really matches up the amazing epic of Rush, 2112. As well as Stairway to Heaven and No Quarter can match any of the 2 awesome epics from Caress. Both really incredible bands, very tough. For me, Zep has II and I as my faves. And Rush has Caress of Steel and 2112. VERY difficult choice, but I must go for Zep. |

MAN!!!!!! This is a hard one..... I can't even vote. I love both bands...
However in the early 70's Albums ZEp is the winner, but as the band approached the end of the 70's I didn't really like them that much.
However, RUSH is the late 70's and 80's were the best band in the world..
so I guess I will vote for RUSH......

...that doesn't mean anything... they were also influenced by Cream and Yes along with many others... so I guess Muddy Waters is better than Hendrix? |

While the influence on the first album was significant (an understatement, really), I feel Rush progressed beyond the influence - even as early as 2112 and certainly on Farewell I don't think of Zeppelin at all. Certainly Zep's debut along with Cream were instrumental influences for Geddy and Alex, and Neil was doing Who covers for the gig he had before Rush. |

The influences of Led Zep in Rush i think lives until the A Farewell to Kings came.
In 2112 sounds hint of the heavyness of Zep, example? The Temple of Syrinx.
In 2112 sound the delicate ballad acoustic influence of Zepp example: Tears.
And to clarify to all die hard Rush fans: influence is not equal to copy. ok??
Then like they said in his first double album a first chapter is close, and a new chapter begin.

This is a no-brainer for me. Much like the Rush vs. Magma poll. Rush it is on both counts. I've been a big fan of Rush now for close to 20 years. I was never a big fan of Zep. I don't think I've made much of a secret about that either. They did two or three songs that I really like. "Battle of Evermore" and "No Quarter" come to mind, but otherwise, I think the hype was a lot bigger than the music deserved.
Yes, Rush did sound quite a bit like Zep on their first album, which is the primary reason that the first Rush albums is one of my least favorite albums by them. Fortunately, they left that all behind them and moved on to much greater things. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Which is the prob for me with Zep, when they are good they are outstanding, when they are bad..........you can throw away about half of their songs. Rush I didnt like at first but grew into them, their albums starting from 2112 to Moving Pictures are consistently excellent and great prog, not to say that there are other great moments on the other albums....Mystic Rhythms anyone ------------- was that just an Am augmented minor 9th i heard? nice! |

Individually the members of Rush are, imo, more talented musicians.So much of LZ stuff sounds the same, Rush is constantly re-inventing their style and sound. So like in the previous Beatles poll, my vote goes for Rush. And as for Zep being an influence on Rush, I'm sorry, but what Led Zep song did they cover in their Feedback album, oh thats right, none...(no Beatles cover either) not to say they didnt influence Rush but maybe not as heavily as people asume. |

No they do not HAVE to do a LZ cover. But when a band like Rush comes out with an album of cover songs from bands that they said had influenced them in their youth; it is an important observation that there is an absence of LZ. Especially when it seems that a lot of people think that with out Zepplin there would be no Rush. |

Please Zach, listen to their first albums, Rush, Fly By Night, Caress of Steel and 2112, if you hear right, you can even look (if you can look to the music
) the Led Zepp influences, they are very clear like crystal, or if you do not mind i can put examples of these albums to see the Zepp's influences on rush early output.So, when i said earlier, since A Farewell to Kings, Rush is out of Zepp's influence. ------------- |
Posted By: Alberto Muņoz
Date Posted: November 19 2008 at 18:01

ok First Album: Working Man not only with Zeppīs cruchy riffs, even i hear "deuce" in backwards!!!
Finding My way: Geddy shout a la plant, the Lifeson Riff is an elemental one and used by the Zepp's (in more elaborate way) in the magnificient "The Songs Remains the Same".
Here Again: A very good acoustic number than have more Zepp influence, even i hear Grand Funk's Heartbraker's pace!!
In Before and After the main riff and the middle riif in the Lifeson solo are power riffs that Zeppelin pioneering in Out of The Tiles, and the main riff of the powerful Bring it on Home for example.

Rush definitely started out with a major Led Zep influence. No shame in that. But then when Peart joined the band, I think they started looking for a way to combine the heaviness of Zep with the complexity of Yes. Again, no shame in that. Zeppelin and Yes both had their influences. Plant's vocals were clearly influenced by Janis Joplin and obviously Zeppelin were heavily indebted to the blues. Yes's vocals were clearly influenced by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. So Rush went from hard rock to prog rock. They evolved and explored. I can see someone prefering Rush to Zeppelin, as that is merely a matter of personal taste. But there can be no doubt that Zeppelin is by far the more important and influential band. But since this is a poll about personal preference, Rush seems to be winning the battle here at PA. ------------- Prog fan since 1974. |

I don't think there's much dispute about Zep's innovations, their being labeled as thieves unfair considering most bands took directly from other artists.. in fact Zep often credited the bluesmen they took from unlike others who rarely acknowledged the blues and rock 'n roll roots taken form Elvis, Beach Boys, Little Richard |

This was very hard as Rush and Zep are my two favorite bands.........nonetheless Rush still wins by a landslide! Improvisation is cool but I like long orchestrated stuff better, not to mention Rush has lyrics that I just adore (I live by some of them) and Zeppelin's, while funny in masculine circles don't really mean anything. But as again , they are my second favorite band. ------------- We will call you Cygnus, the god of balance you shall be! |

Rush for me, obviously. To me, LZ were always a heavily blues-based rock band, and they stayed that way through their entire career. A few of their songs are.....okay, but they never were a band that impressed me much, probably not at all actually. -------------

I never once said that LZ had no influence on Rush, because, like you so clearly pointed out they do. What I was merely suggesting was that the influence Zeppelin had on Rush was fleeting, you admit only 4 out of all their studio albums can be "accredited" to influences from Zeppelin, and me being an 80's Rush fanboy I draw no similariteis between them after AFTK. On this point we agree, and have always agreed on since my fist post, "...not to say they didnt influence Rush but maybe not as heavily as people asume." I can understand ones argument that those first four albums are some of Rush's finest moments, but like I said, I'm and 80's Rush fan and I'd be the first to dispute that claim. People here have a nasty habit of not reading ones entire post to fully understand what was trying to be said. I hope now we can put this silly squabling behind us and leave it to the polls. |

Now this is a tough poll. In some ways I wanted to vote for Rush. They've had a longer and more varied career than Zep, have written their share of great songs, are respected as musicians, and so forth.
But the mighty Zep also wrote their share of great songs, including one that is so great and so familiar that most of us just about get ill when we hear it, and are/were respected as musicians.
In the end I go for Zep.

Don't really listen to Led Zep anymore, and the few times I've tried to listen to them in recent times, it just hasn't interested me anymore to be honest. I can listen to Rush, and feel genuinely excited by it and don't feel the need to turn it off halfway through a song. |

This is disturbing! The band that started as a Zeppelin-lite, is beating the knights of rock rock rock? I'm not a big fan of some of Zep's output (like II, and IV for the most part), but damn if I, III, Phys, Houses, Presence aren't great albums. The only Rush album I could maybe put on par with Zep is 2112. At least in terms of something interesting, and worth many repeated listens.

I vote Rush. I have seen both live more than once and have all both band's recordings. Zeppelin was brilliant for their first 5 years then they were pretty much done. You could hear Page going downhill with his drug problem starting with Houses Of The Holy, and Physical Graffiti was disappointing and uneven. Although Rush owes a lot to Zeppelin, they were (are) more consistent, professional, and innovative. |

I'm really surprised at Rush's popularity in a forum like this. They're a vaery talented band but it seems like some folks have them in their top 3 of all time. I voted Zep who I think are quite good but somewhat overrated. I like to make mix/greatest hits CDs and I'd say that if you limit it to one CD per band (say, 60-75 mintes), Led Zep stacks up against anyone. But man, they sure put out a lot of noisy, repetitive dreck. Rush? I only really like 2 of their songs (Subdivisions & Fly By Night). They have lots that aren't bad but for me they're barely prog and their best songs are nowhere near as good as Zep or many other bands. As a Canadian however, I'm still kind of pleased at their popularity. ------------- Casting doubt on all I have to say... |

I honestly haven't heard enough Rush yet to make the call, but I will say this:
2112 and Zoso are both very good records, but I find myself skipping tracks more on the LZ4 record than on 2112. Same thing with the "Presence" record. Great couple of songs, but the rest sound like filler to my ears.
Based on that, I have to admit that Rush seems to have more quality, whileLed seems to be mopre about quantity.
But since neither band is near the top of my list, what do I know?

I don't particularly enjoy the albums of either of these bands, partially because I only have 1 Zeppelin album on vinyl and have only heard 3 Rush albums in their entirety. But I do enjoy a few tracks from each.
Rush has 2112, Xanadu, Subdivisions, Circumstances, La Villa Strangiato, and By-Tor and the Snow Dog.
Zeppelin has No Quarter, Stairway to Heaven, Over the Hills and Far Away, Bron-Y-Aur Stomp, Fool in the Rain, and The Battle of Evermore.
 Hmm, I guess I'ma vote Rush, but they're pretty close in terms of importance to me. -------------

| Because John Paul Jones is an awesome musician (not just a bassist) and because Bonham is sometimes underrated for his abilities on the drumset (gotta love that bass-drum on "Good Times, Bad Times," etc.), Zeppelin gets my vote.... |

| Apples and oranges. Though Rush were clearly influenced by LZ in their early days, they evolved into a completely different band. I love them both, though lately I listen to Rush more than LZ, but I don't really see any point in comparing them. |

| Listening to Jack Bruce's recent comments on how they were rubbish I wonder if Cream would have fared better against Zeppelin? |

Cream were to short lived.But Bonham vs Ginger and Clapton vs Page would be intresting. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/cozfunkel/" rel="nofollow">

| I felt sorry for Rush, so I gave them 10 or so extra votes. |
