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.

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.

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

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).

When I listen to 2112 then Signals I hear two different sounds, both are good, but definatly different.

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.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

You are right. Rush, to me, has matured more that Yes did. You can make a case that The Yes Album & The Ladder were made by different bands. The same can be said for Fly By Night & Roll The Bones.

Yes started as a prog band. Rush had to grow into it.

These are two of my favorite bands... Rush satisfy my more hard rock/metal prog taste while Yes satisfy my more symphonic/melodic prog taste (and there's also Genesis, KC, but thats another thread)... so anyway, i think when comparing these bands you have to look at their entire careers.

I think Rush and Yes both have phenominal careers and music, but i think Rush was able to create better music than Yes once they both moved on from their classical magnum opuses in the 1970s. Rush was clearly better than Yes in the 80s, and i think they continued to reign over Yes in the 90s and 00s - as far as studio releases. Don't get me wrong though, i still enjoy both bands' music from their entire careers.

My vote went to RUSH btw

No viable resemblance.  They are running dissimilar races. Nevertheless, I’ve voted for YES as substantial band of this genre.
