Rush! Black sabbath is nowhere near as good.

I must admit that i like alot of the NWOBHM bands who were inspired by Black sabbath though.

I thought Black Sabbath were a very good progressive band. The last 4 Ozzy era albums are what I think of as hard core prog rock / metal. Some tracks succeded less than others but they tried different things, well done.

Rush are imagination and virtuosity. Both bands have great atmospheres on their albums. Getting the best albums by both outfits will not hurt your collection.

I like 'em equally.

Black Sabbath - they recorded many of great albums (both Ozzy and Dio eras),and are in fact one of cornerstone of all hard rock, heavy metal and in part prog rock. Rush had just some really good albums.

Rush of course. because even in the 80's and 90's they managed in the worst case, not to suck. unlike Sabbath.

To be fair - BS is not prog.  It's like calling Bjork metal!!!  Rush rools!!!!

If it's not prog it doesn't mean it's worse.

Oh yes.

But it's still Rush, notwithstanding the badass level.
