Rush has been one of my top 5 (if not my favorite) bands since I was 10 years old (I'm now 35). They get the easy vote. Just talented, great songs, sense of humor, although Neil's lyrics sometimes veer toward the verbose. Not that Yes isn't great, but Rush owns. Just check out the Rush In Rio and R30 DVD's to find out why. Still cool after all these years...while Yes feels like a "weren't we great when" band. Like I said, Yes is still good, but Rush hasn't lost a step.

     This poll is their only victory over Rush and it's one little one at that.

<snicker>  I voted for Rush...not because I don't like Yes; but because I've never heard anything by them, except "Owner Of A Loneyl Heart".  That being all I've heard, I don't think that's a whole hell of a lot to go on.

Rush...as always. Until I hear Yes' "classic period", I'm not likely to change my mind.

Wow, hard choice!  I had to give the nod to Yes for being there before Rush and helping to get the whole prog movement started.  Otherwise, I may have given the nod to Rush.  I enjoy both bands outputs immensely.

RUSH ALBUMS ARE TOO INCONSISTENT!

Inconsistent?  Rush never had to get another lead singer or keyboardist.  They've never broken into two factions, etc...inconsistent?  Hardly.

Yes has silly pretentious lyrics, Rush has silly pretentious lyrics

Yes has a strident vocalist, Rush has a strident vocalist

Yes has a great drummer(s), Rush has a great drummer

Rick Wakeman wears a cape, Neil Peart wears a... what the hell is he wearing on 2112 and Farewell To Kings?

Jon Anderson is really pretty, Geddy Lee is really pretty!

God I'm So Confused!!!!
