Primus are a band whom I do not enjoy, and no I'm not being sarcastic.

I have to vote for Rush but both are great bands with awesome musicianship.

If it was a poll about their videos -Primus would slay Rush!

If you were putting the first 3 Primus studio albums up against the last 10 from Rush, then Primus wins.  If its Rush's first 8 vs Primus' last 3, then Rush destroys them.

If you ask Les Claypool, I'm sure he gives the nod to Rush every time.


And why aren't there any Rush vs. Dream Theater polls up. That would be a fanboy bloodbath for the ages.

Edit: Found one from 2006, relatively tame despite the absolute drubbing by Rush 63-30.

I can understand your irritation with Winona on the radio even though I never listen to radio, even when I have the choice, for a long time now.  The video really cracks me up though.  But finally a poll with two bands that share parity: two male vocalists that have a weird style.

I prefer Primus; I like the absurdity.  I used to feel that Rush too often took themselves too seriously, or commonly were too serious in terms of lyrical content.
