Love Rush more than KC. Both are great bands though.

Hey! Rush is in the RRHOF now!

I hate Rush and almost love King Crimson. I don't like everything they did - nor can I tolerate all of it, but there's not a single sound Rush ever made that excited me as much as 21st Century Schizoid man or Fallen Angel.

^Ironically, I'm pretty sure Rush was labelled "the holy trinity" by a critic who was ridiculing fans' enthusiasm for the band, comparing it to religious adoration.  Seems Rush fans have adopted the term.  Kind of a "yankee doodle" scenario there.  (there's only one Holy Trinity though, and it's not Rush)

The fact that this is a "better" poll rather than a "favorite" poll makes the decision a little closer for me (Rush is my favorite band by a long shot) but I'm still going to go with Rush here.  They're both great, but I feel like Rush is a bit more organic and emotional.

Regardless of what you may label yourself as, your recent posts in here are prime examples of Rush fanboyism. And yes I agree there's a reason they are labeled "the holy trinity', but that reason is simply because Rush fanboys act in the way that they do. There's nothing in particular that makes Rush objectively better than any other prog band.

I've only got a couple of Rush albums and every King Crimson studio.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

My vote would go for King Crimson. Although Rush is an excellent band, they aren't that eclectic, diverse, experimental as King Crimson.

R.U.S.HHeadbangermore music to headbang to and not much ambience. I respect Crimson don't get me wrong but how many great albums does Rush have:Caress of Steel, 2112, A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres,practically everything up to Hold Your Fire is gold to me. What does Crimson have that is perfect: Nothing Yeah I said it nothing they're just average
If the criteria is the same as for Rush, then we have:
In the Court of the Crimson King
Lizard
Islands
Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Starless and Bible Black
Red
Discipline
The ConstruKction of Light (yes I said it)
The Power to Believe
practically everything from in the court to the power to believe is gold to me (but these ones listed are gold gold gold).

Eh?
