Everyone keep saying that these two bands don't have anything in common but I have to mention the fact that both singers ( Jon and Geddy ) have pretty high voices.

Rush Are An Excellent Band But Will Never Match The Intensity Of Yes. And Yes Are More Interesting! Hardly Any Of Their Records Sound The Same!
My Vote Goes To The 20 Or 30 People That Made Up Yes Over The Years 
But I Do Really Like Yes |
When I listen to 2112 then Signals I hear two different sounds, both are good, but definatly different.

I can't vote. These groups are sooooooo different from each other!
As said above, Rush is a far more regular group than Yes. The last flash of glory in Yes discography as Going for the One; Rush has a lot of weak 80's albums, but they made a lot of good albums after Presto.
On the other hand, Yes was more risky, mainly in the CTTE - Relayer era. So, I just can't decide. Both are wonderful groups, and the only real difference between them nowadays is that Yes is dead, while Rush still kicks (with less power than in the good old days, but kicks).

Sorry I don't think Rush compares to yes. I must say Moving Pictures is
incredible though.

Rush by a country mile. By the way, I find it interesting that
this poll clearly does not reflect the concert attendance
numbers. Yes can't put 15,000 in an arena anymore. Rush
however can still draw them out. Seeing Yes at the Garden last
year was kind of sad. Barely 7000. However I've been to
multiple Rush shows since Trails 02 and the lowest attendance was
12,000.

Yes were the band that got me into prog and I side with them in a lot of discussions,but I have to go with Rush.Rush have put out good music consistently for 30 years with the same line-up since their 2nd album.Yes have a handful of great albums in a large catalogue that has as many or more forgettable albums than unforgettable albums.

As far as prog bands goes, I have Yes #1 & Rush #2.

Both are great bands, good musicians and both a hell of a lot better than Robbies Williams!! Now, if that was the question Robbie or Rush or even Yes or Girls Aloud!!! I could quite easliy vote. As it stands I can't choose, I like 'em both...

An extremely difficult decision but I had to go with Yes.
I've always found the influences of Rush a cross between the atmospheric sounds of Yes with the added rock drive of Led Zeppelin.
I love both bands but it has to be Yes.
